At our tip there's a bin for "wood and timber". Eh? Of course the
thing is full of chipboard


It is likely going to end up in an incinerator so that doesn't matter.
They don't like fabrics in there at all as it clogs up the smashing up
mechanism on the input to the fuel hopper.

Chipboard is "wood" at our tip too. No local incinerator yet, I'd
assumed it all went to chipboard.
