Did you know that 17% of Australia’s landfills are jam-packed with recyclable wood? Rather than reusing or repurposing, it’s crushed, burned or mulched. There’s a better future for this perfectly good wood, and we’re grateful to be part of this shared mission.
Handpicked from streets and skips, day and night, to bring you affordable recycled timber. These odd scraps are carried, dried out, trimmed, skimmed and thinned—each piece selectively cut to bring out its unique character.
Whether you’re passing on used timber or finding wood for a new project, we couldn’t do it without you. Join the WasteWood adventure with your next project.
The Beauty of Recycled Timber
The new alternative to chucking away good wood! The used timber we collect is cleaned, sorted and ready for your woodwork projects. Just drop by and take your pick. Fancy recycled tabletops and timber benchtops? Find all these in stock today.
The Recycled Timber We Appreciate
When you think of recycled timber, you’re probably picturing old barns, forgotten buildings, or even that dining set Aunt Edna couldn’t fit in her new flat. The community at WasteWood takes this a step further and into the back lanes of neighbourhoods. From rejects and offcuts of big mills to recovered street scraps, they’re transformed into perfectly good wood for your project.
Recycled Wood: Goodness in Every Grain
- Clean-Cut Variety: Our stock is neatly sorted by size with more colours than your typical hardware store. Each piece is surface-cleaned, bringing out its natural beauty, so you see what you get.
- Affordability: Recycled wood is wallet-friendly because we skip the high costs of fresh-off-the-forest floor lumber.
- In-Stock Convenience: Stroll into your local WasteWood, pick from a lineup of pre-cut, size-sorted wood, and you’re out the door before your coffee cools.
- Unique Character & Appeal: Reclaimed wood brings features rich, mature grains and a naturally aged patina that new wood just can’t match.
- A Place to Connect: Drop by our used timber shop anytime. Feel free to browse, and share your projects past and future!
- Planet Care Locally: Sustainability can start from where you are. Why cut down trees when you can grab the wood off-the-shelf at WasteWood?
