Sylvagen is equipped to handle the disposal of your waste wood. Our core purpose of making the recovery of waste materials easy and ethical means we are committed to disposing of all wood not just legally, but with environmental accountability. We prioritise wood recycling where possible, choosing to transform materials into panel board as well as continually making a conscious effort to minimise our carbon footprint when planning collections and deliveries. We also collect waste wood to be used in the creation of biomass energy.
We are proud members of the Wood Recyclers Association (WRA) in addition to being registered with the Environment Agency (registration no. CBDU357705).
We accept waste wood in any of the categories below. To begin the process, please complete the request form on our contact us page. Alternatively, please give us a call on 01892 280 290 to speak with a member of the waste wood recycling team.

Simplifying wood recycling and recovery at every stage
An easy approach
We understand determining the best way to dispose of your waste wood can be challenging. Here at Sylvagen, our experienced staff are familiar with how to navigate those difficulties while taking your circumstances into account. As a result of supplying a large network of customers with materials, we always have an outlet for your waste wood. In addition, we can arrange for your materials to be collected as soon as possible regardless of whether you’re a returning customer or in need of a one-off service.
Logistics
Sylvagen utilises a broad range of hauliers allowing us to provide a wide range of vehicle options including walking floor trailers and chipliners. Our association with lead haulage company, A.W. Jenkinson Transport also ensures we offer an unmatched national reach for fast and efficient waste wood collection.
We recognise that materials are sometimes difficult to access by articulated lorry, in such circumstances Sylvagen offers a space-saving bin service for maximum flexibility. We also understand that in some cases it may be easier to deliver materials directly to us. With a vast network of sites across the country, Sylvagen is well positioned for you to drop off materials at a location that’s most convenient to you.
