Wood

Wood waste can be a valuable commodity, so recycling wood waste can generate income as well as reducing disposal costs to landfill.

Timber recyclers will generally accept nearly all soft and hardwoods (including pallets).

Ferrous contamination (e.g. nails) is usually accepted as contaminants can be removed by magnetic extraction. However recyclers often request that non-ferrous materials such as aluminium window catches are removed prior to collection.

Recyclers will not generally accept Multi Density Fibreboard (MDF), paper and card, laminated material, railway sleepers and chipboard.

Recycled wood waste is used to make a variety of end products including:- pulp and paper, mulch and soil amendments and processed fuel pellets.
