Our Commercial Wood Waste Process
- Your wood waste is collected by our dedicated fleet of vehicles and transported to a waste transfer centre near you.
- On arrival, your wood waste is separated into different types of material, with any non-recyclable wood removed. It is then prepared for onward bulk transport to a specialist facility.
- At the wood recycling facility, your recyclable wood waste is then processed using slow and high-speed shredders that reduce the wood to different sizes, depending on their future purpose.
- The recycled wood fibre is put to a range of uses, including wood chips for landscaping, chipboard for construction and biomass fuel for a renewable energy source.
- Eddy current separators are used to remove any metal from the wood (usually stray nails, screws, bolts, and other fasteners).

Types Of Businesses We Serve
The service provider was efficient, delivered on time, tailor-made the service to suit requirements. I cannot speak highly enough of this service.
Yorwaste are going to be growing with us. We talked about future developments and how we can improve our efficiencies. We worked together and developed the idea of traversing roller crushers across all our waste streams.
They listened to what we needed and sorted us with the correct waste bins a lot easier than other companies we have been with in the past.
Legal Compliance
Wood and timber waste is common on construction and demolition sites, although it can also be produced by certain production processes and commercial events.
Wood waste must be separated depending on whether it’s classified as hazardous or non-hazardous, as this will dictate whether it should be destroyed or recycled.
Please get in touch to discuss your specific wood waste requirements.
Where does the waste go?
Initially, your waste will be transported to a local waste transfer station. Here, recyclable waste may be separated for onward transport to reprocessors, to be made into new products. Unrecyclable waste will be bulked up for transport to the county’s Energy from Waste facility, to be used as fuel to generate electricity.
We partner with Allerton Waste Recovery Park to ensure as much non-recyclable waste as possible is turned into energy for the local North Yorkshire area. We put the waste hierarchy at the very heart of our business, and do all we can to increase waste reduction, reuse and recycling where possible.
From community initiatives, such as Reuse Santa and Get Re-Cycling, to our team of recycling experts working closely with businesses to help their overall waste management strategies and maximise their recycling efforts.
The energy from recovered waste in Yorkshire currently powers around 40,000 homes in the Yorkshire area. By incinerating non-recyclable waste, we’re able to convert rubbish into energy!
The ash that is produced during this process is also recycled to create materials for the construction industry, further closing the gap in waste production in the Yorkshire area. It’s even estimated that 2.5% of the UK’s energy is powered by recycled materials, so why not join the cause and be an advocate for environmentally friendly waste management?
