Where can I take scrap wood for recycling or disposal?

Scrap wood can often be taken to local recycling centres, municipal transfer stations, or specialised wood recycling facilities. Many community waste programs accept untreated wood for chipping into mulch or for biomass energy use. Treated or painted wood may be subject to different rules and sometimes requires disposal at a facility that handles construction waste.

Although Kangaroo Copper Recycling focuses on metal recycling, many metal recyclers can point you toward appropriate wood recycling or disposal services in your area. Always check with your local council or facility first to understand what types of wood they accept, whether there are fees, and how the material needs to be prepared before dropping it off.
