Wood waste is the byproduct of activities such as logging and branch pruning. It contains uprooted and non-uprooted tree stumps as well as discarded trees.
The majority of this amount of waste originates from cities, where there is a lot of development, demolition, timber processing, and packing going on. Furniture, sawmills, pulp and paper mills, plywood mills, and particleboard mills are among the industries that contribute to the creation of used wood waste.
Companies have begun to appropriately dispose of their wood waste and reuse it when possible in recent years. We are an Environment Agency licensed waste carrier (CBDU527690), our crews wear the right PPE, and every collection comes with a waste transfer note – we can send you copies of our paperwork on request.
We provide a commercial waste collection service for construction companies and for businesses in any industry that produces timber or pallet waste, as well as for households.
We make every effort to ensure that as much of what we gather is repurposed rather than downcycled into chippings. We lessen the demand for imported timber and the environmental impact of the felling, processing, transfer, and transportation associated with it by pushing timber up the waste hierarchy and getting as much as possible back into the community for Do-It-Yourself or garden projects. Our lorries consume far less fuel than a skip lorry, resulting in lower carbon and particle emissions.
We'll take almost any waste, tree composites, furniture, and wooden goods, regardless of type or condition. 'Minimum Load' collections consist primarily of different types of heavy goods such as fire doors, kitchen equipment, or sheet material offcuts.
We have trained professionals who are always on time at your location. Our services are cost-effective, and the price is fixed before we arrive. At the end of the collection, we give you a waste transfer note.
The waste wood we collect falls into three grades. Grade A is clean wood: disused pallets, packing containers and cable drums, as well as manufacturing and joinery offcuts.
Grade B is construction and demolition timber, including solid wood furniture. Grade C is fuel-grade wood such as chipboard, blockboard, MDF, OSB and fibreboard. Timber treated with copper/chrome/arsenic (CCA) or creosote is grade D, which is hazardous waste – we don't collect it, and it must go to a licensed hazardous waste carrier.
We're organised and keen to provide exceptional customer service. We're fully insured, and we follow industry best practices for risk assessments and appropriate health and safety protocols.
We collect from homes, sites and businesses in all 32 London boroughs, 7 days a week. We are an Environment Agency licensed waste carrier (CBDU527690), and you get a waste transfer note for every load.
What happens to their waste after we've cleared it is a major concern for many clients. Where feasible, we recycle and encourage re-use. Our goal is to recycle more than our competitors and to develop new techniques to increase reuse. Wood recycling is part of our specialised service.
Our company ensures that we will always dispose of your waste responsibly and sustainably, whilst also being efficient and cost-effective. These are our company's guiding values.
