Don't throw away surplus timber or builder materials in inorganic pickup! I might be able to use them instead.

Benek from Manly

Hey Coasties! Inorganic collection is coming up and I bet there are some of you thinking if throwing out some timber or other surplus building materials? Don't thrown them away! I may be able to make use of them. I'm building my kids a playhouse out of 100% recycled materials. (You may have seen a story about it in today's Rodney Times).

I'm looking for:
* Framing timber (approx 10cm x 4xm size or thereabouts - standard stud wall stuff)
* Roofing (steel or polycarbonate)
* Plywood
* A small timber framed window that opens
* Large ex playground slide
* Pavers, bricks, or large rocks for landscaping

If you were thinking of throwing any of these things out in inorganic collection starting this weekend, please contact me first and I will come have a look.

Big thanks to those of you who responded to my previous post about this a few weeks ago. I've collected most of what I need from friendly neighbours but there are still a few bits and pieces to go.
