The term “recycling” conjures up thoughts of aluminum,
plastic, glass, and paper. A recyclable commodity that may get overlooked is
wood. Wood recycling, consisting both of raw wood and used wood products, as well as paper, and has become more of a focus in the past decade. We don’t normally think of recycling a natural, renewable resource, but considering the staggering statistics, it is more than necessary.
The downside of wood recycling is that some curbside
recycling programs don’t yet accept wood, but by not recycling wood, we are
depleting an extremely important natural resource.
