Set recycling – some of our supporters

By Blog

We all at Stockyard strongly promote set and scenery recycling as a better alternative to discarding the materials. Landfill is expensive and bad for the planet! Here are some of our supporters.

Julie’s Bicycle paired up with the RSA’s Great Recovery to host a tour of Scenery Salvages’ recycling facility recently.

BBC Radio came along to see us at Scenery Salvage to speak to Tim Williams and Designer Anthony Neil about how he helps set designers achieve their visions without the usual huge costs associated with set creation. He also speaks of how film students are benefiting directly by understanding the true cost of set creation and then getting a much better deal with recycled props and scenery.

Welcome to Stockyard North

By Blog

Welcome to Stockyard North and our new website. Why the change? Well we thought it was time to harmonise our services with our sister company The Stockyard based in Park Royal, London. We have also revamped the old Wishlist system for prop hire and it is now “Price Requests”.

We have made the new website mobile and tablet friendly too so you can see our latest props on the move more easily.

If you have any difficulties, suggestions or comments at all we are always happy to hear them via our contact page.
