Wood Waste Disposal & Recycling Services
Here at Fleetwood Waste, we take our commitment to wood recycling seriously. Not only do we offer a variety of disposal bin Rental to cover just about every project’s needs, we also pick up and deliver all wood waste to the nearest applicable recycling facility. In doing so, we help our clients clean up their projects in the most environmentally responsible way possible.
We take every opportunity to recycle all the wood we pickup – dumping wood is the last resort. We help our clients understand their wood waste, how to prepare it, and how it will be treated. Regardless of the type of wood, we deliver all loads to local transfer facilities, ensuring any recyclable material gets treated as such.
Recyclable wood gets converted into wood chips for fuel, gardening substrate, and fill. This process diverts it from the landfill and gives the wood a more valuable purpose.
Recyclable Wood
When it comes to recycling wood, it’s essential to identify the type of wood you need to dispose of and whether it’s clean. Wood is often recyclable only if it’s clean and free of other types of waste.
Wood waste we can recycle includes:
- Landscaping brush such as tree branches, tree trunks, whether in cut form or woodchips
- Clean construction materials ranging from dimensional lumber to plywood and wooden beams
- Clean fencing and decking wood regardless of the type of wood.
Wood Waste
Not all wood is recyclable. When wood is unclean, meaning painted, stained, treated, or mixed with other kinds of debris, it tends to be treated as waste. This is why you must identify whether your wood is clean and separate any intermixed waste such as railway ties, metal framing and brackets, and cabling of any kind.
Not only will this will ensure you minimize your disposal costs by avoiding the landfill, but all your materials will get recycled.
