Getting Creative

What can you make out of wood, foam, cotton? Anything you like - why not have a go! Green-Works can provide your art project with materials.

Green-Works aim to reuse as much of the products and materials that come through the door as possible, but we often have many spare bits and pieces that cannot be utilised. If you are looking for a small amount of wood, foam or cotton you can collect these items for free. Not only does this put our scraps to great use and helps in our goal to divert as much material from landfill as possible, it will help the environment and hopefully get your creative juices flowing!

If you are requiring larger amounts over a period of time for example, schools or art's and craft groups, you can set up an account and paying a small fixed fee, can collect items as and when required.

See what you can make...and why not show off your work by sending some pictures of your creation to wonderful waste creations we would love to see what you come up with. Just let us know what you have created, why and what materials you have used.

Why not add them to the Green-Works Facebook page and show off your creation to all your friends as well and inspire others?
