Wood collected at County Refuse Disposal Sites is transported to out-of-county composting facilities. Recyclable wood is chipped to use for mulch for landscaping or as a beneficial fuel. Remember that when visiting disposal sites, the cost for dropping off recyclable wood is much less than the cost for garbage.
