Scrap Wood and Pallets

Scrap wood and pallets must be separated out from regular trash.

Wood and pallets can be dropped off at the Centennial Field recycling area in the designated "wood waste" box.

DO RECYCLE:

• Tree parts and limbs
• Wood pallets
• Clean, untreated lumber
  

DO NOT RECYCLE:

• Painted, stained, treated or glued wood.
• Plywood or particle board
• Large nails or spikes
• Rocks or dirt

If your department has large amounts of scrap wood to be picked up, submit a Physical Plant Service Request.

Clean wood is hauled to the McNeil Generating Station in Burlington where it is chipped and burned to make electricity.
