WOOD YEW WASTE

Company can recycle your plasterboard

WOODYew Waste Ltd, a major recycling business in the South West, provides a cost-effective way of recycling waste wood in an environmentally sensitive manner.

Wood Yew Waste accepts all types of waste wood ranging from pallets and packaging waste to demolition timber, joinery offcuts and general household wood waste.

Its client base ranges from national waste management companies and local council civic amenity sites to skip companies, builders and the public.

The operation was started in 1999 in Plymouth to recycle wood that was previously being landfilled, with the primary aim of supplying wood chip to the panel board industry.

More recently the company, which launched a branch at Woodbury Salterton near Exeter in June 2009, has expanded to provide recycling solutions for plasterboard and MDF/ hardboard/sawdust.

working in partnership with Plymouth City Council, Wood Yew Waste set up its operation at the Chelson Meadow Landfill Site to recycle the wood being disposed of at the council’s civic amenity area and also the waste wood that was being landfilled by local industry.

From an initial turnover of under 50 tonnes of wood per week, it has steadily increased the volume it recycles to almost 500 tonnes per week. Its Exeter branch can be found at Unit 38, Greendale Business Park, Woodbury Salterton, EX5 1EW. The company recycles

wood into the following products: *Wood chips for the panel board industry

*Premier Garden Mulch *Springbed - Equestrian

*Ugly Kindling *Cozy Coop, chicken and pigeon bedding *Wood chips for golf course landscaping *Wood chips for bio fuel.

In line with its normal

wood specification, the MDF/hardboard/sawdust loads must be free from other contaminates such as plastic, metal, glass etc.

The cost of disposing of these products at site is £45 per tonne which represents a large saving over landfill rates.
