Oxford Wood Recycling (OWR) is a social enterprise and a charity operating an environmental business which diverts wood waste from landfill. OWR has a dual social mission: to relieve unemployment by providing employment, work placements, training and volunteering opportunities for people whose social or economic circumstances mean that they are excluded from work, including but not limited to people recovering from mental or physical illness and people living with a disability; and to preserve and protect the natural environment by recycling and re-using waste wood and wood products, and by promoting the use of sustainably-produced timber. We also seek to educate both business and retail customers, local community groups and schools in the benefits to our environment, including the mitigation of climate change, and of working with reclaimed and locally sourced wood.
We are known within the local community for not only the environmental impact we have but also as a valued community organisation offering free wood courses, repair café’s, as well as community orientated workshops. OWR is a special place to work, visit and share.
