Rescuing materials

Around 60 tonnes of materials a year, diverted from landfill and put to good use.

We rescue surplus and offcut materials that would otherwise go to landfill, and sell them on affordably for creative reuse.

1. Surplus and offcuts from local businesses and manufacturers
2. Sold on affordably to members, never given away as waste
3. Around 60 tonnes diverted from landfill a year

What we do

We collect surplus materials that businesses and manufacturers can no longer use: offcuts, samples, surplus stock and more. Rather than these going to landfill, we sort them and make them available to our members at affordable prices.

Who it’s for

Schools, nurseries, community groups, families, artists and makers, all looking for affordable, creative materials.
