What happens to my wood if I send it to a recycler?
Wood recyclers vary in the ranges of products they make from waste wood but the most common products are feedstock for panel board, animal beddings (from clean wood) and biomass fuel. Each recycler will be able to give you more information on their products if you contact them directly.
Is recycling my wood cheaper than sending it to landfill?
Wood recyclers charge a gate fee per tonne to take your wood from you. These will vary around the country and at different times of year but in the majority if not all cases, gate fees remain a cheaper option than landfill.
