The Wood Store - Brighton & Hove Wood Recycling Project

🪵 GOT WASTE WOOD? WE’LL COME AND GET IT! 🚚♻️

Renovating? Building? Clearing out the garden? Or running a construction project with timber piling up?

The Wood Store offers a professional waste wood collection service across Brighton & Hove and the surrounding area — for homes AND businesses.

Unlike simply throwing good timber away, everything we collect is reused or recycled. Reusable wood comes back to The Wood Store, where it can be prepared for another life, while the remainder is responsibly recycled.

And there’s another reason to choose us: income from our collections helps support The Wood Store’s environmental work, volunteering, training and employment opportunities.

🏠 Domestic collections

💚 A MONUMENTALLY HUGE THANK YOU TO RAMPION! 💚

We’re delighted to share that The Wood Store has received a generous donation from the Rampion Offshore Wind Community Benefit Fund to help support our big move!

As many of you know, we’re preparing to leave our long-time home at Oakley House and begin an exciting new chapter at the Homewood College site.

Moving The Wood Store is no small task. There’s a workshop, retail operation, offices, machinery, timber, tools and quite a lot of wood (!) to relocate, all while keeping the project running throughout.

Support like this makes a real difference!

A massive THANK YOU to Rampion for recognising the value of what we do and helping us make the move to our new home.

Their support will help us continue doing what The Wood Store does best:

🪵 Saving valuable timber from waste
♻️ Reusing and recycling wood
❤️ Providing meaningful volunteering opportunities
🛠️ Helping people learn skills and build confidence
🌱 Supporting a more sustainable Brighton & Hove

We’re incredibly grateful to have Rampion Offshore Wind supporting us as we build the next chapter of The Wood Store.

Thank you, Rampion! 💚

⚒️ HARDWARE RE-STOCK ALERT! ⚒️

The shelves have had a refresh, and they're looking better than ever!

🏡 Rustic hardware for home and garden projects

Whether you're restoring an old piece of furniture, building shelves, or starting a brand-new project, it's always worth having a rummage—you never know what you'll find.

🐎 A One-of-a-Kind Opportunity... 🐎

Every now and then something truly extraordinary finds its way to The Wood Store.

This magnificent black fibreglass galloping horse, originally from a traditional merry-go-round, has been generously donated to us. Complete with its original mounting point, it's a striking piece of fairground history that deserves a special new home.

Rather than put a price on something this unique, we're holding a blind auction.

To enter:
🐴 Visit us in store and write your bid (along with your email address) and pop it into the auction box.

Or

📧 Email your bid to [email protected] with the subject line HORSE.

🗓 Bidding closes at the end of July, and the highest bidder will take home this incredible piece.

Whether you're a collector, interior designer, artist, or simply someone who appreciates the unusual, this is a chance to own something you'll almost certainly never see again.

Good luck! 🍀
