Wood and Lumber
Donate usable wood and lumber to an organization that can use it, or recycle wood and lumber through a specialized lumber company or C&DD landfill.
Do not place wood and lumber in your recycling.
Have you considered deconstruction as an option? Deconstruction is defined as selectively dismantling a structure for the purpose of salvaging valuable construction and architectural materials to resell, reuse or recycle. For more information, see our deconstruction page.
If you have railroad ties, see the Ohio EPA website for guidance or contact the Ohio EPA Northeast District Office in Twinsburg. Unwanted treated wood should be disposed of at a local C&DD landfill, solid waste landfill or waste transfer station. Do not burn treated lumber outdoors or in a fireplace.
Usable wood and lumber can be donated to local organizations to maintain their facilities or support their mission. See the Donation Locations list below.
Residents and businesses can also recycle wood and lumber through specialized lumber companies. For a list of Business Locations, see below.
