Waste Wood Recycling FAQs

  • wheelie bin. What is waste wood?

    Waste wood includes any timber, offcuts, packaging, or wood products that are no longer needed. It is commonly generated by:

    • Construction and refurbishment
    • Wood manufacturing processes
    • Retail pallet and packaging operations
    • Facilities management and furniture upgrades

    Grades of waste wood:

    • A – clean, untreated softwood or hardwood (pallets, crates, offcuts)
    • B – mixed wood from construction or furniture
    • C – chipboard, MDF, and plywood

    Storing and separating clean wood where possible improves recycling outcomes and can lower disposal costs.

  • wheelie bin. What bin should wood waste go in?

    Most clean timber should go in dedicated wood recycling bins or skips. Treated woods may require different containers depending on the material and contamination level.

  • wheelie bin. How is wood waste recycled?

    Wood is graded, shredded, screened, and sent for reuse as biomass fuel, animal bedding, landscaping materials, or raw material for products such as fencing or panel boards.

  • wheelie bin. How do I dispose of wood waste?

    Businesses must use licensed waste carriers. We provide free bins and cost-efficient collections to ensure responsible removal and recycling.

  • wheelie bin. How much wood waste does the UK produce?

    The UK generates approximately 4.5 million tonnes of waste wood annually. More than 90% is now recovered rather than being sent to landfill. (Source: WRA)
