Why Recycling Matters

---

Recycling Wood 

Reduces Methane Emissions.

• When wood decomposes in landfills, it generates methane, a greenhouse gas that is 80x more potent than CO₂ in the short term.

1. Conserves Natural Resources.
   • Recycled wood can be turned into mulch, compost, biofuel, biochar, and even particle board, reducing the need to cut down more trees.

1. Supports Local Sustainability.
   • Wood recycling helps cities like Dallas and Fort Worth meet their zero-waste and sustainability goals, reducing the strain on municipal landfills.

1. Cheaper & Smarter than Landfilling.
   • Recycling wood is often more cost-effective than dumping at a landfill — and in many cases, faster and easier for contractors and residents.cription.
