Wood and lumber disposal for scrap framing, old boards, fence panels, pallets and trim, with tips for cutting down long pieces and for clean wood loads.
Wood is one of the most common things people throw away, from fence boards and decks to pallets and scrap from a build. It is bulky, and long pieces can waste a lot of space if they are not cut down. A roll-off container makes quick work of it, and a clean load of untreated wood may be easier to process or recycle. In Nashville, a fifteen or twenty-yard container is a popular choice for wood projects.
Cut long boards to a manageable length and stack them flat to use every inch. Remove loose hardware where you can, and keep paint cans, chemicals and trash out of a clean wood load. Treated or painted lumber may be handled differently from natural wood, so tell us what you have. If you have a lot of pallets or fence panels, a walk-in door container makes loading easier. We help you pick the right size. Sort out any pieces with metal brackets, paint or chemical treatment, and tell us if you are not sure what you have. Stack boards with the ends lined up so they pack tight, and keep nails, screws and metal hardware in a small bucket so they do not end up on the ground.
