Wood waste processing

At Growing Beds we are able to process all grades of wood waste supplied from various sources.

Types of material that we process include:

● Pallet waste
● Construction & demolition waste
● Building waste, clean offcuts etc
● MDF & chipboard

Upon arrival all wood waste is inspected, graded and then tipped into our reception area. At this stage, any litter or non-conforming materials are removed. The material is then stockpiled.

All wood-based materials are shredded using a Doppstadt 3060 slow speed shredder, which also de-bulks and removes any large metal objects prior to the material be passed through a Vermeer HG6000 TX high speed shredder. This machine also sizes the wood into its correct product specification as well as removing the majority of small metal contaminants.

Depending on its end user requirements, the newly treated wood chip is then screened to remove the fines element prior to stockpiling to await collection.

Our recycled wood waste is used in the following markets:

● Panel board manufacture
● Biomass
● Animal bedding
● Composting
