Reclamation
Gibb of Galston is a live demonstration site where customers can see examples of products that have been discarded, being reclaimed in a clean and efficient way and reused, giving value to something that had no value, i.e. demolition rubble being used to build roads; discarded trees and shrubs being regenerated for the purpose of landscaping around the farm; clean waste wood being used for fuel; waste earth being screened to provide quality top soil; old stone and interesting artefacts being salvaged and retailed.
