The Landfill Problem

---

 Wood Waste Is One of the Largest Construction Debris Sources.

• In the U.S., wood makes up over 40% of construction and demolition (C&D) waste by volume.
• Landfills Are Filling Fast.
  
• At the current rate, the average landfill in the U.S. will reach capacity within the next 15–20 years.
• Texas is growing fast — DFW is one of the top 5 metro areas adding the most waste per year.
• Wood Waste Takes Up Valuable Landfill Space.
  
• Clean, untreated wood can be easily recycled, yet millions of tons end up in landfills each year, taking up space that could be reserved for truly non-recyclable materials.
