            Clean Wood Waste

            May 26, 2022

            Clean Wood Waste

            As of 2014, clean wood waste must be separated from regular waste. Separated clean wood is chipped up and used as a carbon source at the compost facility. Clean Wood Waste must be separated from regular waste and loads mixed with clean wood are subject to unsorted load fees.

            What is Clean Wood

            Clean wood is any unpainted, untreated, unglued dimensional lumber and pallets.

            Why Separate Clean Wood

            • Saves money on tipping fees
            • Valuable to the compost program
            • Saves valuable landfill space

            Clean Wood Materials And Services

            Material Unpainted pallets, Untreated, unstained and unpainted dimensional lumber (pine, spruce, fir etc), Untreated scrap wood, Brushing, grubbing wood
            Requirements Must be separated from regular waste. When mixed with regular waste, could trigger unsorted waste charges at the Waste Management Facility.
            Services Drop off at the Waste Management Facility (tipping fee applies) Serviced clean wood waste bins can be arranged through General Waste Management or Pacific Northwest.
            Good To Know Screws and nails can be left in. Clean wood is chipped and added to our compost as a carbon source.
