All scrap wood will be ground into mulch. We are able to keep the wood from this particular job separate.

We are able to take cardboard, aluminum, tin, newspaper, magazines, #1 and #2 plastics, and office paper together in one container. Glass must be kept separate from these materials to ensure that it does not contaminate the other materials.
