Did you know?

  • Over 10 million tonnes of timber waste is generated in the UK each year*
  • It is estimated that only 10% of all wood waste is recycled
  • More than 90% of recycled timber is re-manufactured into chipboard and other boards
  • Rotherham Council have identified that in the years to come there will be "a shortfall of landfill capacity" in the borough
  • Additionally, the council believes that "the relative cost of landfill will increase, which is likely to place renewed emphasis on other methods of waste treatment and disposal"
  • The council is seeking "to reduce the reliance on landfill as the primary method of waste disposal"
  • There is currently no collection service for local firms that generate small quantities of timber waste (between 7 and 14 cubic yards)
