7 August 2008. As from last week, a selection of Reseiclo products have been available for sale at the Community Furniture Shop in Pill, Newport. This shop is located at 52/53 Commercial Road, Newport (01633 216855), and is operated by Newport Wastesavers. We have gone into partnership with Wastesavers - the organisation that carries out kerb-side recycling in Newport on behalf of Newport City Council - in order to bring good quality products made locally from re-claimed wood to the public. As well as buying goods, products can be ordered through the shop.

Next week (14th August) we will be participating in the 'Recycling Day' at Greenmeadow Community Farm, in Cwmbran. This gives the people of Cwmbran an opportunity to see what we are doing for recycling in the Gwent Area and further afield. (A full report will be posted here later).

9 June 2008. Although slightly outside Reseiclo's area of operation, we have begun collecting wood waste from SPP Pumps Ltd., based in Coleford in Gloucestershire. SPP Pumps were established in 1875. The company manufactures pumps for Product applications that include:

* Fire protection and fire fighting

* Water supply, circulation and distribution

* HVAC

* Dewatering, drainage, irrigation

Many of the components used in the manufacture of the pumps are delivered to the Coleford factory from all over the world. As in most industries, these parts are delivered in wooden crates or on wooden pallets.

Where these crates and pallets cannot be re-used, or are broken, the wood will be collected by Reseiclo and recycled.

SPP Pumps are accedited to the ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard and recycling of waste is an important part of the system.

31 March 2008. The Royal Welsh College or Music and Drama in Cardiff have decided that, instead of disposing of their Stage Sets in a skip after the play has finished it's run, they will recycle them! Reseiclo has begun picking up the used sets from the College and the Sherman Theatre in Cardiff. The wood will either be reused and made avialable for sale, or will be recycled as wood chips. Not only that, the college has purchased some reclaimed timber for use in their sets!
