Best Ways to Dispose of Timber

Published in category
by Aaron Fabien

The NSW EPA reported that around 75% of construction and demolition waste goes to local landfills. This waste consists of timber, concrete, bricks, waste asphalt, rocks, and soil from razed structures and construction and renovation jobs across the region.

Of all these materials, timber is recyclable and may be repurposed in many ways. Untreated timber may be shredded and bonded to form wood panels for furniture and building materials. Plywood, chipboards, particleboards and MDF are all made of shredded timber, sometimes from discarded wood from construction and renovation waste.

This guide explores the many timber disposal strategies, including reusing timber for various projects. We can pick up and transport waste timber to local recycling centres to dispose of sustainably in Sydney and nearby areas. Read on for more. 

Maximising Timber Reuse for Sustainable Projects

Several timber recycling options exist, such as repurposing these materials to make home decorations and garden structures. You may also donate usable timber to community groups and charities as building materials or for woodworking projects.

Repurposing Timber for DIY Projects

Repurposing leftover wood to make DIY projects can help reduce construction and demolition waste in landfills and enhance the appearance of your home. Whether you’re a hobbyist or new to woodworking, you can use timber to make the following:

  • Raised garden beds from wooden planks to grow vegetables and flowers
  • Custom shelves to store books, toys and collectibles
  • Rustic outdoor furniture such as tables, chairs, benches and swings
  • Wooden planters to house indoor or outdoor plants
  • Wooden headboard for your bedroom
  • Decorative wooden wall to hang picture frames or decorative wall art

Donating Usable Timber

Another way to use discarded timber is to donate it to local charities, communities, or schools. These groups can use the timber for construction projects or woodworking classes, saving money on materials. Please contact your local council to find out where you can donate usable timber.

Recycling Timber at Local Collection Points

Various local collection centres in NSW accept timber. These recycling points process wood to make different products, such as home decor and furniture.

Timber Recycling Centres

NSW has more than 30 recycling drop-off locations where timber waste can be recycled. Some companies also offer pick-up services, so you don’t need to hire a truck or drive a long way to dispose of used timber.

These centres ensure timber is recycled and reused to reduce wood waste dumped in landfills. Because this material can be reused, it extends the life of wood waste.

What Types of Timber Can Be Recycled?

Recycling centres accept many types of timber; however, some kinds may need special handling.

  • Untreated timber - this type of timber is best  for recycling as it’s easy to break down and repurpose with no additional treatments.
  • Plywood - must be separated from other types of timber before recycling.
  • Hardwood - these are valuable for recycling to make quality building materials and furniture. Examples are maple and oak wood.
  • Softwood - this type of timber is useful in construction and making other wood products. Examples are spruce and pine wood.

Sustainable Methods for Disposing of Treated Timber

We promote eco-friendly timber disposal. We prioritise reducing landfill waste and ensuring sustainability by reusing, recycling, and safe disposal that follows local regulations.

Special Considerations for Treated Timber

While untreated timber is welcome in many recycling centres, treated timber is the opposite. This type of timber contains chemicals, pesticides and preservatives, which makes it unsuitable for recycling or reuse.

Treated wood requires special handling and disposal techniques to prevent hazardous substances from leaching into soil and water. To minimise environmental risks, treated lumber is usually chemically treated or incinerated at high temperatures.
