Here at Get Laid Beds, we pride ourselves on the charity work and recycling we as a company aim to achieve. We strive to ensure that all we do is eco-friendly and helping the environment whilst also supporting charities that could benefit from our unwanted stock. We deem this to be an important cog within the business, and gain great satisfaction from doing our part to be environmentally friendly.
As you know, being a bed manufacturer we use a lot of wood per week, and when you require a specific size to match the dimensions of your room, at the end of the week there always seems to be a lot of off cuts. We as a company, distribute all our off cuts to people that own log burning fires and chimineas to help heat their homes throughout the winter months, and in turn keep them warm.
Sticking with recycling, we also have a lot of offices on site and offices equal paper. But we try and recycle as much paper as we can, with specific recycling bins, and also reusing any waste paper whether it be as note pads, or putting it back into the printer to be used again. All in an attempt to expand the lifespan of the paper rather than throw it away without a second’s thought.
When working with wood, sawdust is a big issue. Here in our workshop we have bags and bags of sawdust gathered and collected from the floors, we locate animal charities across the UK and pass on our bags of unwanted sawdust to be re-used in a different environment and help out animals in need.
We are currently in the process of sponsoring our very own chicken, we will be working with the British Hen Welfare Trust raising money to help re-home and look after these hens. We will be receiving a six month update on the chickens progress, and as a company are very excited to begin this hen sponsoring process.
