Move On Wood Recycling
Move On Wood Recycling is a social enterprise in Granton. We collect waste wood, sell quality timber and upcycled furniture, and provide employability training for vulnerable people. Our aims are to save resources by reusing and recycling waste timber that would otherwise go to landfill; and to create sustainable jobs, as well as training and volunteering opportunities, for local people – especially those who might find it difficult to get into or back to employment.
