Wood Waste

Wood waste is any used timber or associated residues – such as offcuts, sawdust, and shavings. It’s the final unwanted product from activities like lumber jacking and branch pruning, including discarded trees and uprooted or non-uprooted tree stumps. It also covers Medium-density fiberboard (MDF), used packaging and products made entirely from wood, such as pallets and boxes.

Wood Waste Management Services

The majority of wood waste comes from two sources: from activities related to construction, demolition, and renovation; and packaging (such as pallets) used to transport goods. Green City provide a tailored solution to suit your business however much waste wood you produce, from construction sites that need regular wood collection to shops that only require occasional pickups.

● Grade A – clean hard and softwood used for packaging; pallets and offcuts.
● Grade B – mixed wood, usually from construction, demolition, and furniture.
