Recycling
September 9, 2009
We found a local company
Cannonsburg Wood Products that accepts all types of wood waste for
recycling, including plywood scraps and even pieces with nails. Liz loaded up the trailer
full of small scraps from construction and delivered it to them to be ground up
into mulch. Some of the pieces look pretty good in this photo but most are
smaller than the ones on top and many of them contain nails, staples, etc. We
assume they remove all the metal with magnets, and the mulch they sell looks
pretty good.

The drywall is nearly complete, and all of the board
has been hung on the walls and ceilings throughout the house. Here's a photo of
the scraps, loaded into a 30-yard container from
Phoenix
Resources. The container is roughly half full so we have about 15 cubic
yards of drywall scraps. These will be ground up and recycled as a soil
amendment.
