Pallets/wood recycling

Up to 70% of pallets are of a standard size and therefore suitable for repair and reuse. Other timber and wood products can be chipped and remade into fibre board materials for the building and DIY markets.

The advantages

Allows you to recycle pallets and other timber products in bulk without impacting on our diminishing landfill space.

The system

Collections of pallets and redundant wood by box, curtain-side or skip vehicle. All pallets and wood must be free from any plastic, shrink-wrap, strapping and metal (other than nails). Contaminated loads will be subject to a surcharge for the entire load.

An estimated 10% of all wood waste is recycled, although 1.5 million tonnes of wood waste is still sent to landfill
