Answer 3

Recycle by offering any item to others free,so they can have the pleasure and use of it.

Freecycle.com is a good place to pass on still useful items.

Answer 4

Yes wood is most definitely recyclable, you can make many things from wood.  You should check out this company in Northern Ireland.  They are called (TREE) This stands for Tree Recycling Eco Enterprise.  

They make beautiful carvings made from recycled trees I would even say they could take your entertainment centre as it was first made from trees.

Any Carvings you buy, all the money goes back into the environment to grow new trees, even if you don't buy anything they have lots of Handy tips.

Hope this Helps.

Answer 5

you can use the wood if flat to make shelves with for the shed or garage

Answer 6

Don't forget that since wood is carbon neutral yoy dont have to recycle it, it will rot naturally and produce habitats for loads of wildlife whilst its rotting.

If you have kids they'll love searching under and around it for creepy crawleys, and you'll get loads of different bird species coming to eat the bugs.

Phone your local college/uni art department, they are always desperate for materials! Seriously, people paint on ANYTHING.Or paint on it yourself!

I once had this useless Tree (meh) and turned it into a much more handy Table!

Answer 24

Advertise if for free in your local trade or newspaper.  Someone may be able to use it, either as an entertainment center or remake it into something else.  And you can always take it to Goodwill, Salvation Army, or St. Vincent DePaul, they make money off these things and help poor or disabled people.  Always donate, if you can't sell or use!

Answer 25

Great question! I had an old cabinet that was a bit past it, so I gave it to my rabbit to run about in =) She lives in my conservatory and builds little nests inside it now, also loves chewing the wood to bits. Ask around your friends that own pets, maybe they'd be happy to take it off your hands. Good luck!!

If you're in the UK you could try advertising it on ....

This type of wood is not recyclable because it contains formaldehyde.  Don't burn it, since it would be toxic.
