Benefits of timber recycling

Cost savings

Timber disposal fees at the Hazelmere Recycling Centre are more than $50/tonne less than disposal to landfill.

Timber disposal at the Hazelmere Recycling Centre does not attract the landfill levy.

Environmental benefits

Diverting this material from landfill prevents it decomposing in landfill and emitting methane gas into the environment.

It also reduces the amount of waste going to landfill, and therefore the need to construct new landfill sites in Perth.

Recycled products

Timber disposed at the Hazelmere Recycling Centre is processed for reuse in particleboard manufacture, animal bedding, compost and mulch.
