Wood Re-cycling

Wood Re-cyclingTRUCE specialises in using timber that would otherwise go to landfill.
We differ from wood re-cycling by reducing the amount of high quality timber that would otherwise be needlessly chipped or sent to landfill.

Wood is reclaimed and re-used by making products or sold as timber to the public and businesses.
