Australians are a large importer of timber products including soft and hard woods, pallets and chipboard. As part of a Total Waste Solution or as a once off collection Wanless can provide your business with a Timber recycling collection.
Depending on your timber volumes we have bins ranging from 12-31 cubic meters to store, collect and dispose responsibly of recyclable untreated timber.
Through a network of local recycling centres nationally and an integrated service model, Wanless will transport your timber product to a recycling facility to be either mulched into new commercial product that is re-used back into industry, new particle board or can be used as a fuel stock for renewable bio-energy.
At our Kemps Creek Resource Recovery Alliance we recover timber from incoming loads and re-use this mulch as landfill covering. Any treated product with a chemical spray or painted coating are not recyclable because they may contain toxic chemicals however Wanless can assist your business with a disposal solution for non-recyclable product.
For those businesses who produce timber waste Wanless provides simple and effective solutions for timber recycling disposal. Turn your timber waste into a resource, providing it new life as a new mulch product.

Timber Recycling Facts
By recycling wood you assist in preserving the environment by reducing reliance on virgin materials being logged thus protecting a living source.
Timber still represents in NSW 13% of waste disposed in landfill.
Can you reuse the timber in your own business so recycling is a secondary disposal option?
Look into the community for a local re-use solution, can you connect with a wood working guild or men’s group to donate wood?
Broken pallets may still be repairable or recyclable, our staff can assist your business to determine a recycling option.
Waste management doesn’t have to be a burden to your business.
