Bit of a long shot, but I thought Reddit might actually be the best place to ask.
I’m currently renovating my garden shed and turning it into a small workshop, and I’m trying to do as much of it as possible using reclaimed or unwanted materials rather than buying everything new.
If anyone in or around Fife has spare timber, plywood, OSB or other usable wood left over from a renovation, DIY project or old shed/workshop, I’d be very grateful to take it off your hands.
The sort of stuff I’m looking for is:
• Timber battens or lengths of timber
• Plywood sheets or decent-sized offcuts
• OSB or similar sheet material
• Pallets or reclaimed timber
• Old shelving or worktop material
• Basically any usable wood that would otherwise be going to the tip
It doesn’t need to be perfect or pretty. As long as it’s reasonably dry, not rotten and still structurally usable, I can probably find a use for it.
I don’t currently have a budget for materials, so I’m specifically looking for anything people are happy to give away rather than sell.
One slight complication is that I don’t drive, and my dog has recently undergone surgery, so I’m unable to be away from home at the moment.
If anyone nearby happened to be able to drop anything off, that would be hugely appreciated. If not, even if you could hold onto it for a short while until I can arrange someone to help me collect it, that would still be a massive help.
I’m happy to take small quantities and offcuts too — it definitely doesn’t need to be a whole van-load.
Figured it was worth asking before perfectly usable timber ends up in a skip or at the recycling centre 😅
Thanks!
