A building suppliers is offering excess wood to the local community in the run-up to Bonfire Night.

The Launceston branch of RGB Building Supplies says it has spare pallets and wood from packaging that people are invited to pick up and make use of for projects, or to help with local celebrations on November 5.

Adam Davies, branch manager at RGB Launceston, said: ’The wood is perfect for community organisations who are organising firework displays, or for people looking to complete small projects in their homes. The items generally go into a skip to be destroyed, but as the wood is perfectly usable, we want to offer it out and we welcome people to the branch to pick up what they need.’

RGB Building Supplies’ Launceston branch is located on Pennygillam Industrial Estate.
