GLOSSARY OF WOOD WASTE TERMS
CLEAN WOOD WASTE: Wood only, very little trash or other debris. Construction wood, if properly separated, is
normally clean, while demolition wood is often more difficult to process due to paint, metal,
stucco and other contaminants. Each processor has slightly different acceptance levels.
GROUNDCOVER:
Wood waste can be processed into various sized pieces for use as a bark-like groundcover,
playground sand substitute, or for demarcation of trails and paths.
INERT MATERIAL:
Includes asphalt, concrete, brick, stone, and soil.
PRE-CHIPPED WOOD: Nearly all of the area wood processors will accept pre-chipped wood. It can be further
processed into various products, composted, or used as a groundcover. Most of the prechipped wood comes from commercial tree trimmings operations. Drier wood is usually
easier to process.
ROLL-OFFS:
These are large, 20-40 cubic yard metal trash containers. Many area wood processors will
place these containers at certain collection points and offer regularly scheduled pick-ups.
They may also be able to arrange occasional pick-ups for large amounts on an as needed
basis.
SAWDUST:
Sawdust can be added to various soil amendment products, sold as is, used as a floor sweep
product, or as a drying agent for liquid spills.
SOIL AMENDMENTS: Particulate wood waste that can be used in soil mixes, tip soil and mulches. The finely
shredded wood waste can be added directly to the various mixes or composted then added to
other material.
TIPPING FEES:
These are the charges for dumping or unloading the waste wood. Many processor do not
charge for clean waste wood, but they often charge for mixed loads of for waste wood that is
significantly contaminated and therefore difficult to process.
TREE TRIMMINGS:
Woody branches, twigs, and limbs (palm and yucca are both difficult to process). Using the
same equipment, most wood waste processors can also process tree trimmings.
WOOD DUNNAGE:
Wood materials used to support and protect cargo in a ship’s hold, i.e., crates, pallets,
blocks, etc.
WOOD FLOUR:
Clean wood waste can be processed into an additive for the manufacturing of various
products such as roofing paper.
WOOD FUEL:
Waste wood which is processed into small particles which are then burned for energy in
plants similar in technology to the agricultural biomass energy facilities.
WOOD SHAVINGS:
Most commonly used as an animal bedding product.
YARD WASTE:
Includes tree trimmings, leaves, brush, and twigs (ivy is difficult to process and compost)
some area wood processors accept yard waste as an additive to their compost mix.

RECYCLING WOOD WASTE
What is Wood Waste?
There are two broad categories of wood waste material: miscellaneous wood waste and
woody yard waste. Miscellaneous wood waste includes waste from construction
activities, the furniture industry, lumberyards, demolition, roofing, movie and theatrical
sets, used crates, and pallets. Woody yard waste, such as tree trimmings, branches,
stumps, and brush, are accepted and easily recycled by many of the wood waste
processors listed in this guide. A few of the processors listed can also accept grass
clippings, leaves, manure, and other material. It is important to remember that each
individual wood waste processor has slightly different requirements for the wood waste
and/or yard waste they accept and process, depending on their equipment capabilities
and the market for their end product.
Extending the Life of Our Landfills
Landfill space in the Los Angeles area is rapidly decreasing. In order to address this
issue on the State level, legislation has been enacted (AB 939) which requires
California cities to reduce their waste streams 50 percent by the year 2000. Wood
waste and yard waste constitute a considerable volume of the overall waste stream. In
1995, over 223,868 tons of wood were generated in the City of Los Angeles, comprising
6.9% of the City’s overall waste stream. Over 51,000 tons, or 23% of the wood, were
diverted from landfills, and over 172,500 tons of wood waste were disposed. The
recycling of wood and green waste materials will increasingly become a vital component
in the overall effort to reduce landfill waste in the City of Los Angeles.
Conserving Our Natural Resources
Wood waste can be reused or recycled into a number of products. Some groups will
take wood waste for free, reusing it in its existing form for wood working or construction.
At most of the processors' facilities, the wood waste is chipped and ground into various
sized particles. The finer particles, or "fines", are primarily sold to the soil amendment
market where they are added directly, or further composted for use in soil mixes and
mulches. Larger particles are sold for use as a boiler fuel to generate energy. Sawdust
and wood shavings can be used as is for animal bedding. Certain hardwoods can be
chipped and sold for smoking meats. Other products include: liquid spill drying agents,
ground-covers, wood flour (used in roofing paper), bulking agents for biosolids, and
pressed wood fire logs. In the future, strand board, particle board, and other structural
products are likely to use increasing amounts of post-consumer wood waste material
and less of the virgin post-lumber mill material now used. Wood pallets can be collected
and reused, and broken pallets can be ground and used for soil amendments or other
purposes.

Reducing Your Refuse Disposal Costs
If your wood waste is currently being sent to the landfill along with your other waste,
your disposal costs may be unnecessarily high. Area landfills charge by the ton for the
disposal of waste (tipping fees). These tipping fees usually range from a low of $25 up
to $50 per ton. Tipping fees incurred by a hauler are passed on to the customer. By
diverting your wood waste material from the landfill you may be able to save money on
your waste disposal services, particularly if you generate high volumes of the material.
How do you save? By separating your wood waste material for reuse or recycling, the
frequency of your regular refuse service, and possibly the size or numbers of your
regular refuse containers can be reduced. While it is uncommon for wood waste
generators to be paid for their material, many firms are saving significant money in
these avoided disposal costs. Pallet recyclers may pay a small amount for pallets in
good condition.
The cost savings become even more dramatic when higher volumes, cleaner loads, and
homogenous loads of wood waste are generated. Please remember that in most
situations, a wood waste recycler or hauler will charge you for picking up your
wood waste material, but this charge should be less than the cost you would
incur if your material was taken to the landfill.
Wood Waste Reuse
The reuse of wood waste is an even more efficient use of resources than recycling. A
large amount of the wood waste material that is presently being disposed or recycled
can be reused in its present form. And unlike certain wood waste recycling, the reuse of
wood and lumber does not involve significant processing costs. To be reusable, the
wood must be in good condition and of sufficient size for woodworking and building
construction.
Wood pallet recycling can be an effective reuse program. Pallets can be collected at a
centralized location, and pallet recyclers will pick the materials up; they may pay for
pallets in reusable condition. They may also pick up broken pallets at no cost. A list of
pallet recyclers is included in Section IV of this guide.
There are a number of non-profit agencies that are in need of quality used wood and
lumber in the Los Angeles area. Usually these agencies will need to have the material
delivered, but in all cases they must be contacted prior to accepting any load of wood
waste material. It is recommended that you always contact them prior to delivering
materials. These agencies may be able to provide your company with tax deduction
based upon the value of the donated material. See Section II for descriptions and
contacts of some local agencies in need of wood material.
I:/ Pubs/Comrcial\C&D\Wood’99/Woodbody.doc
-3-
Low Volume Wood Waste Recycling
As a rule, processors or haulers need at least 10 cubic yards of wood waste material
per week from each generator in order to economically set up a wood waste recycling
program with a dedicated container. Wood pallet recyclers may require a minimum
number for each pick up. If the volume of wood waste generated at your facility is below
this threshold, there may still be a way to reduce your refuse disposal expenses. You
may be able to take your wood waste material directly to a wood waste recycler and
avoid landfill tipping fees; or you may work with other area wood waste generators to
establish a program with a recycler. You may be able to store or set aside wood waste
material until enough is in place for a pick-up by a hauler, recycler, or nonprofit agency.
Starting a Wood Waste Recycling Program
The first step in starting a wood waste recycling program involves determining the type
and quality of your wood waste, the frequency and volume of wood waste generated at
your facility, and your available space for storage. With this information, you can then
contact and discuss these factors with the wood waste processor or hauler nearest to
your facility. The processor or hauler can then visit your facility and look at a typical
sample of the wood waste it generates. Because the condition of wood waste generated
and potential to separate loads of wood waste varies from facility to facility, it is
important that a processor or hauler make a visual determination of the quality and
quantity of wood waste generated. At the site visit, the processor or hauler can also give
you advice on the most efficient way to separate, store, and haul your wood waste, and
make a determination on potential cost savings to you.
Separating Wood Waste
While most wood waste is readily reusable or recyclable, it is important that it is
relatively free of other debris. The fewer contaminants in any given load of wood waste,
the higher the value to the processor and to the end markets. A limited amount of paint,
nails or staples usually does not present problems for most wood waste processors,
however attached bolts, latches or other metallic hardware can be very harmful to the
processing machinery and time consuming to remove. Also, wood that is covered with
metal sheeting, stucco, plastic or other materials cannot usually be reused or processed
properly. Employee participation is a critical element in establishing a successful reuse
or recycling program of any kind. It is very important that the employees who will be
participating in the wood waste separation process at your facility be fully informed by
the processor as to the acceptable condition of the wood waste generated at your
facility.

OPTIONS: REMOVAL AND TRANSPORTATION OF WOOD WASTE

PROCESSORS CAN PICK UP. Most wood waste processors can place a large
(40 cubic yard) roll-off bin on site at high volume wood waste generators or they
may be able to work out an "on call" arrangement for those facilities which
generate wood waste more sporadically (see pages 8-12). The wood pallet
recyclers in this guide will pick up at your site by arrangement (see pg. 13-15).

HAULERS CAN PICK UP. Another approach would be to contact your current
hauler or a hauler familiar with wood waste recycling and express interest in
initiating a recycling program. A hauler may be able to take your wood waste and
deliver it to a nearby wood waste processor at a lower cost than would be
incurred if the waste was taken to a landfill.

YOU CAN DELIVER. Many wood waste processors and non-profit agencies will
accept loads of clean wood waste self-hauled to their facilities. If you have the
storage capacity and are able to transport the wood waste to a nearby processor
or non-profit agency, this may be a viable option for you and it may save you the
money that would be charged for the material at the landfill.

WOOD WASTE RECYCLING CHECKLIST

CONDUCT AN INFORMAL WASTE AUDIT
Analyze the type, quantity, and frequency of wood waste generated at your facility.
Some of the important factors include:




What are specific activities at your facility that generate wood waste?
What is the condition and type of wood waste generated?
How many waste bins do you have?
What are the sizes of the bins and how often are they are emptied?
 How much are you paying for your regular waste removal?
Using this information, review this guide and contact vendors to determine your potential
cost savings with a wood recycling program. For example, if your wood waste is
primarily made up of large pieces of reusable wood and lumber, you might first contact
an agency that may be able to reuse it as it is (see pg. 7). If you generate smaller pieces
of wood, sawdust, wood chips, or other scrap lumber, you might contact a wood waste
processor or wood waste hauler (see pgs. 8-12).

CONTACT A WOOD WASTE PROCESSOR OR HAULER
With the general estimates of the quantity and quality of the wood waste generated at
your facility you can then contact your hauler, or a wood waste processor located
nearest you, and discuss some of the important factors regarding wood waste recycling
at your particular facility. If it seems like there is a good potential for starting a wood
waste recycling program, move to the next step.

MEET WITH PROCESSORS/HAULERS AT YOUR FACILITY
It is important to have the processors or haulers take a look at a typical example of wood
waste generated by your organization to make sure it meets their requirements for
quality and quantity. They can also determine the size, number and placement of
containers needed for establishing a wood waste recycling program at your organization.

REVIEW BIDS FROM PROCESSORS/HAULERS
By separating your wood waste for reuse or recycling, you can reduce the frequency of
your regular refuse service, and possibly the size or numbers of your refuse containers.
Check with your regular refuse hauler to obtain a price break for any reduced levels of
service, since your wood waste will not have to taken to the landfill. Add your newly
reduced refuse collection cost to the cost of the wood waste recycling program. In large
volume situations, there will normally be a cost savings. In some situations, wood waste
programs can be implemented with no net increase in disposal costs.

EDUCATE EMPLOYEES
It is crucial that the employees involved with generating, separating, or handling the
wood waste material at your facility are fully educated in the wood waste recycling
program and encouraged to participate. The active participation of the employees can
make or break the success of the program. Most people are very happy to see wood
waste material being reused or recycled, rather than being disposed in a landfill. An
employee incentive or awards program may be particularly effective.

II. WOOD REUSE OPPORTUNITIES
Because the following organizations often have limited storage space and may
have sporadic or specialized needs for reusable wood, it is imperative that you
first contact them before you deliver any material. Some of the agencies may be
able to pick-up material at your site, but please call and discuss the specifics of
your reusable wood material with the contact person listed.

III. LOS ANGELES AREA WOOD WASTE PROCESSORS
The following 23 organizations offer varying levels of service for the reuse or recycling of wood waste. Some
offer a full service program including the delivery and pick-up of recycling containers, while others offer only
drop-off service at their locations. It is important that you be aware of the types and amounts of wood waste
material that you generate and your existing waste disposal costs before contacting those recyclers that seem to
best fit your needs. Fees and charges do vary, so it is prudent that you get several bids for your wood waste
recycling program. Remember that a successful wood waste recycling program can save you money in avoided
disposal costs by diverting wood waste from your regular refuse. Therefore, you should follow-up with your
regular refuse hauler to see if the size of your refuse containers, number of containers, or frequency of regular
refuse service can be reduced. Please review the text starting on page 1 for more information.
