Untreated, unpainted lumber is accepted in Ann Arbor curbside compost carts, and at the Drop-Off Station and Recovery Yard for recycling. No paint/stain, particle board, or plywood is accepted. Untreated lumber (new full pieces) and plywood (must be at least 4’x8’ sheets) are accepted for donation at Habitat for Humanity Restore. Treated lumber is not recyclable.
To dispose of untreated lumber in curbside compost cart, wood must fit in cart with lid closed.
Refurbish or repurpose lumber first and find another use for it in your home; if not possible. Donate unwanted untreated lumber (new full pieces) and plywood (must be at least 4’x8’ sheets) at Habitat for Humanity Restore to ensure they get reused! Composting as a last step is one of the best ways to eliminate waste in your community!
