One of the most common questions we get from customers in London is whether wood waste needs to be collected separately from general household or construction waste. The short answer: it depends on the volume and the type of project.
Here is how to decide whether a dedicated wood waste collection makes sense for you, or whether a general skip will do the job.

When to Choose a Dedicated Wood Skip
Consider these factors before booking your next waste collection:
Large Volumes
Construction sites, renovations or commercial premises generating significant amounts of timber, pallets or chipboard benefit from a dedicated wood skip.
Maximising Recycling
Keeping wood separate from mixed waste significantly increases how much of it can actually be recycled instead of landfilled.
Cost Efficiency
Clean, separated wood waste can often be processed more cheaply than mixed loads, helping you avoid higher landfill tax charges.
Small Volumes
For occasional, smaller amounts of wood, such as a few garden offcuts, combining it with a general rubbish collection may be more practical.
