Where to dump scrap wood near you

Start with your local government’s wood or construction-and-demolition facility locator. In San Diego, Miramar Greenery’s clean-wood category includes unpainted lumber, plywood, pallets and wood blocks, but excludes chipboard, particleboard, chemically treated wood and painted wood. To qualify for Greenery processing rates, a load must contain at least 90 percent one qualifying material category. Confirm the receiving facility’s acceptance rules and fee before traveling; that local rate condition is not a universal wood-disposal rule.

Sort the wood before choosing a facility

Separate clean, unpainted lumber and plywood from painted, chemically treated, composite or particleboard material. Do not burn treated wood or dump it in natural areas. A facility that accepts metal or other bulky materials may still exclude scrap wood, so check the specific material list before loading your vehicle.

Confirm the load rules before you leave

Ask the receiving facility about dimensions, nails or other attachments, the material’s source, vehicle or hauler limits, cover requirements and the current fee. For San Diego’s Miramar example, load acceptance depends on the facility’s definitions and current schedule; other facilities may use different rules.

Compare bulky-item drop-off requirements before loading a vehicle.

When Dropcurb fits

For plywood, send photos, dimensions and the quantity to confirm that the exact material fits Dropcurb’s current item scope before booking. Accepted items must be outside and accessible before pickup. Standard service includes loading, transportation and disposal; arrange any indoor carrying separately. A plywood listing does not establish acceptance of every type of scrap, painted or treated wood.
