Waste code: 1141, 1142, 1149
Wood is sent in a container.
Clean, untreated wood can be recycled as material.
Mixed or treated wood is used for energy recovery.
Large bolts and similar items must be removed from wood before disposal to prevent operational stoppages during subsequent treatment. Impregnated wood is hazardous waste and must be handled in accordance with regulations.
Clean wood includes all types of wood that have not been impregnated or treated, such as Euro pallets, untreated plywood and panelling. Treated wood may include wooden furniture, parquet flooring and door leaves. Cable drums may be covered by a deposit-return scheme.
The waste guide uses technical terms and codes to describe how different types of waste should be identified, classified, and handled. This makes it easier to find the correct waste fraction and comply with requirements for sorting, packaging, and delivery.
