Contact Acme for Wood Recycling

Wood is the only 100 percent renewable, recyclable, reusable and biodegradable resource we have, making the processing of wood products an invaluable step in conserving resources. Acme’s Wood Chipping operation processes wood into wood chips that will be used a fuel source for energy companies.  Acme offers solutions for removing unnecessary materials, including wood, from your site.

 

Wood Recycling Facts

  • Wood accounts for roughly 17 percent of the waste in landfills.
  • Each year, people in the US fill another 1,350 acres with wood waste.
  • Recycling limits the need to cut down the trees which preserve local ecosystems and reduce air and water pollution.
  • Lumber and hardwood can be reused in the home, especially if they are made from exotic or rare wood species.
  • Pallets and other packaging can be reconditioned for reuse, or deconstructed and used as lumber of scrap wood.
  • Wood that is shredded is used in engineered wood products, mulch or animal bedding.
  • Shredded wood chips can also act as a fuel source. A single pound of wood can produce up to 9,000 BTUs of heat energy.
