GoodBuild is Scotland’s first community construction reuse hub. We're proud to be a project of Good Green Futures. We collect surplus and reusable building materials from construction companies, tradespeople, and households, then make them available to the public at affordable prices. By donating or buying from GoodBuild, you’re helping reduce waste, create training and volunteering opportunities, and make DIY more accessible for everyone.

We accept donations from both businesses and individuals.  If you have usable surplus or leftover materials, there are two easy ways to donate: Drop them off at Stirling Reuse Hub during opening hours Book a collection for larger or bulk items (subject to location and capacity) Before donating, please contact our team at enquiries@goodgreenfutures.org.uk or 01786 644396 with details or photos of your items. We’ll confirm what we can accept and arrange the best way to receive them.

We’re looking for safe, reusable construction and DIY materials that are clean, undamaged, and ready to use. Examples include: Timber and sheet materials Bricks, blocks, and paving Doors, windows, and ironmongery Insulation and pipework (unused or sealed) Paint, adhesives, and sealants (full and unopened) Tools and equipment Electrical items in good working order Plumbing and bathroom fittings Kitchen units, worktops, and tiles If you’re not sure whether your items are suitable, just ask. We’re always happy to help!

We wish we could take everything, but the reality is this isn't always practical. To keep our volunteers and staff safe and ensure materials are reusable, we can't accept any of the following: Asbestos or materials that may contain asbestos Hazardous or chemical waste Gas appliances Items that are broken, dirty, or incomplete Paint tins that are opened, dried out, or less than half full We may also pause accepting some items on occasion depending on our capacity. We'll communicate this as clearly as we can, but sometimes this will happen at short notice.

We may as for a small contribution to help cover transport costs, particularly for large or multiple collections. In many cases, business donations can be collected free of charge as part of our reuse partnerships - contact us to discuss options.

The short answer - yes! The slightly longer answer - we are actively building partnerships with local construction firms, trades, housing associations and suppliers to reduce waste and build a circular local economy. Partnerships can include: Regular materials donations Joint training or volunteering opportunities Sustainability reporting and recognition Find out more by emailing us at enquiries@goodgreenfutures.org.uk

Everything donated to us is carefully sorted, checked and made available for resale or reuse at affordable community prices. Anything that can't be reused directly may be repurposed for training, creative or community projects, helping us make the most of every donation.

Everyone! Local residents gain access to affordable DIY materials. Volunteers and trainees build skills, experience, and confidence. Businesses reduce waste and support local sustainability goals. The environment benefits from less landfill and fewer new resources being used.

Yes! Our volunteer team is at the heart of everything we do. There are roles in sorting donated materials, stock management, customer service, and workshop projects. We also welcome people with construction, logistics or trade skills who can help mentor others. Find out more about volunteering
