The Rebuild Site is a community interest company focused on reducing waste in the construction industry. The surplus materials that they collect from construction sites are available for sale from their shop in Kingmoor Park, Carlisle (open Wed-Sat 10-4 and Sunday 10-1) and Murray Road, Workington (open Wed 10-4).

They have a wide range of diy materials for sale from bricks, blocks, timber and fascia to sinks, tiles, door handles and pipes. They also offer grants of free construction materials to community groups and organisations, including schools.
