WOOD RECYCLING

UKWSL provides a Wood Recycling service nationally, to collect and process larger volumes segregated wood produced by businesses, from a single location to a multi-site national.

We have a wide range of containers within our service offering to ensure the correct size container and collection frequency is provided for your business to minimise the cost of waste collections whilst delivering environmental benefits tailored specifically for your business.

A separate Wood Recycling service is ideal to capture material and ensure your compliance with legislation before sending to a recycling plant or to recover renewable energy.

To further complement our Wood Recycling service, we can also provide a separate Pallett collection service with rebates often available for top quality pallets.
