The Porthleven branch of RGB Building Supplies is offering excess wood to the local community and groups for free.

The branch has a number of damaged wooden pallets, that can be broken down, as well as off-cuts of wood that people are welcome to collect and use to complete projects.

Lee Atkinson, branch manager at RGB Porthleven, said: “The wood is perfectly usable so instead of simply skipping it, we wanted to offer it out to those who wish to complete jobs in their own homes, or community groups and charities who are struggling to fund the purchase of wood to finish a project.

"All we ask is that people only take what they need so more people can benefit from the offer.”

Those who would like to pick up free wood are asked to contact the Porthleven branch to check availability before visiting, and make themselves known to the RGB team when they arrive to collect.

Wood is available while stock lasts.
