Demolition debris, treated wood, etc. should be disposed at appropriate solid waste facilities
such as AWD at 307 White St. in Danbury (845) 279-5353.Storm events, landscape maintenance, and the clearing of land for development are a few activities that generate untreated organic materials (e.g., brush and stumps). We process only untreated natural wood for use in landscaping applications, as compost bulking agents and soil amendments, and in temporary land stabilization projects in a manner that poses no threat to surface or ground waters.Treated wood such as plywood, furniture, wood waste from construction, renovation and demolition, pressure treated timber, painted or stained wood, and any other surface treated wood will not be accepted at our facility.
Treated wood may contain creosote, lead, acrylic, carcinogens and ground water contaminants. Extensive test data on treated wood show that lead and other contaminants exceed allowable EPA levels. These pollutants can leach into the ground water or be ingested by children, animals, and adults. For these reasons, chipped treated wood is not suitable for use in our compost or mulch.
CONTRACTORS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY TIPPING FEES!
