Key Reasons to Use Our Wood Recycling Services

In this article, our team will go over a few reasons why we encourage you to use our wood recycling services.

  • Reduce the Need for Logging – One reason why we recommend recycling your old pallets and other wood into mulch is because doing so reduces the need to cut down more trees. While a great deal of mulch is already made via wood recycling, mulch is also made from healthy trees cut down for that purpose. If you want to reduce the need for logging, we encourage you to contribute to wood recycling.
  • Keep Wood Out of Landfills – Our wood recycling services also help keep wood out of landfills, where it will go to waste. In addition, when wood decomposes in landfills, it can produce methane gas, which is very bad for the environment, but when it decomposes in the open air, it produced carbon dioxide instead, which is much less damaging.
  • Keep Plants Healthy – A third benefit of our wood recycling services is that mulch helps promote healthy plant growth. Adding a layer of mulch over your plants’ roots helps them retain moisture without becoming waterlogged, which allows them to grow strong and to remain healthy in the long term. Mature plants and trees are the best at converting carbon dioxide into oxygen, so keeping old-growth plants healthy helps protect the environment.
