The letsrecycle.com wood recycling price guide shows the gate fee wood recyclers will charge when wood waste is delivered to a wood recycling site. In the years to 2010, payment by the recycler for material was rare because of wood's low value although some recyclers might have paid a little for clean pallet material. From 2010 onwards it is expected that a gate fee (negative price) will still be charged for the material, although with increasing demand some deliveries of clean pallet wood or even sawmill round wood could attract a small payment.

High grade - clean white softwood, wooden pallets, timber offcuts, empty packaging crates and joinery waste. All should be free of paint and coverings but some nails and small metal attachments may be acceptable.

Low grade - this includes plywood, doors and window frames, roof timbers and panel products.

Prices will vary considerably depending on cleanliness of the material, volume and location. In general, it will cost more to recycle wood waste in southern England than in northern England and Scotland.
