Kerbside Recycling from Builders Sites

Just a handy tip -

I had a leaking tap outside where I am staying and I grabbed a free piece of small wood thrown out from a building site to help me tighten the tap - or if you need to grab a piece of wood to hammer a door back in place without damaging the door etc ...

Building sites throw out A LOT of the following - something to keep in mind if you can find a use for them (for whatever reason) and save more stuff from going to the tip!

• Bricks (if you're not too picky on condition)
• Leftover Timber (if you don't mind the sizes) 

They also get rid of (fairly often):

• Wooden Pallets
• Wood suitable for firewood

So if a wooden pallet would help in moving a whole bunch of stuff around and you have a pallet jack might be worth asking nicely to your local builder!
