How to Recycle Particle Board

Particleboard is made of wood chips and particles, which are held together by a resin binder. To recycle particleboard, you'll need to disassemble the piece of furniture or other item that you're recycling to separate the particle board from other materials like metal, glass, and plastic.

Step 2: Break the Particleboard into Smaller Pieces

Once you've separated the particle board, break it into smaller pieces. This will make it easier to dispose of and will help to compact it for recycling.

Step 3: Check with your Local Recycling Center

Many communities offer recycling programs specifically for particle board. Before disposing of your particleboard, check with your local recycling center to find out if they accept this material.

Step 4: Find a Drop-Off Location

If your local recycling center does not accept particle board, you can find other drop-off locations by contacting your local waste management company or hazardous waste disposal center.

Step 5: Consider Particle Board Reuse

If your particleboard is still in good condition, you may be able to reuse it for other projects. For example, you can use particleboard scraps to make shelves or other home décor items.
