5 Wood Chip Recycling Ideas

Renting a brush chipper is one of the fastest ways to turn unwanted branches, limbs and small trees into wood chips. After clearing space for landscaping or construction, you’re left with a pile of chips that are lightweight, easy to move and ready for reuse. Instead of tossing them in a bin, you may be wondering how to reuse wood chips. Try these simple ideas:

1. Mulch Your Gardens

Wood chip mulch helps suppress weeds, regulate soil temperature and retain moisture. It keeps plants hydrated with fewer watering sessions and, over time, enriches the soil as it decomposes. You can also spread mulch along borders to keep invasive species out of your yard.

2. Add Smoke to Your Barbecue

Soak wood chips for two hours, then place them in a smoker box – either on the grill grate or directly on hot coals. They infuse food with a smoky flavor that works with meats and vegetables alike. Experiment with different chip types to find the flavors you like best.

3. Repurpose as Animal Bedding

Wood chips can provide dry, comfortable bedding for livestock or smaller animals like chickens and rabbits. A thick layer also prevents muddy pens. Always consult a vet before switching bedding — some woods, like cedar or black walnut, may be unsafe for certain animals.

4. Cushion Paths and Play Areas

Wood chips compress into a soft, spongy surface that drains well and suppresses weeds. Use them to create natural walking paths, garden seating areas, or cushioned ground under children’s playsets. The surface reduces mud and provides a safe landing for kids at play.

5. Compost It

Wood chips add carbon and nutrients to compost. Mix them in small amounts with other green materials to balance the pile. Over time, the chips will break down into a nutrient-rich compost perfect for your garden.
