Bulk Mulch/Wood Byproducts
Sustainable Bulk Mulch And Wood Byproducts from Recycled Pallets
At Millwood, we turn reclaimed wood pallets into practical, high-value materials for your projects. Our bulk mulch delivers reliable, professional-grade landscaping mulch and erosion control mulch for large sites, while other wood byproducts—like biofuel for biomass plants, composite inputs for construction, animal bedding, playground surfacing, and even new packaging solutions—extend the value of every recovered pallet. These solutions keep wood out of landfills and your projects moving forward.
Why Choose Bulk Mulch for Large Projects?
Sourcing bulk mulch saves time and money versus bagged alternatives, with uniform quality, consistent coverage, and fewer deliveries across big areas. Contractors, municipalities, and developers rely on bulk mulch to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and stabilize grades—especially on complex sites where uptime matters. Because our mulch is made from recycled pallets, you gain dependable performance that supports budgets and schedules. And when you need more than ground cover, our other wood byproducts—from composite feedstocks to animal bedding and playground surfacing—offer scalable, job-ready options from the same trusted supplier.
Sustainable Benefits of Recycled Mulch
Choosing recycled mulch supports the circular economy by transforming pallet wood into durable, useful materials. You’ll reduce landfill waste, improve ESG outcomes, and meet practical needs for erosion control mulch and landscaping mulch without relying on virgin resources. The sustainability story doesn’t end at mulch: our broader wood byproducts portfolio includes biofuel for biomass facilities, construction-grade composite inputs, bedding for agricultural use, specialty surfacing for playgrounds, and innovative packaging solutions—each designed to keep materials in use longer. Pair these products with Millwood’s erosion control services for a complete, field-proven solution.
Complex Packaging Needs? No Problem.
We know that no two applications are the same. That’s why we use our ISTA-certified Millwood Lab to test each end-of-line-packaging application against your exact load and handling requirements. Our approach avoids:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is bulk mulch made from?
Our bulk mulch is created from recycled wood materials. It’s cost-effective, environmentally responsible, and widely used for landscaping, erosion control, and sustainable ground cover projects.
This type of mulch is produced by grinding recycled wood into uniform, natural ground cover material. Unlike synthetic options, it provides a sustainable outlet for wood waste that might otherwise end up in landfills. Landscaping professionals, contractors, and municipalities often use bulk mulch to cover large areas efficiently while improving soil moisture, reducing weed growth, and protecting against erosion. It’s an affordable, environmentally friendly option that balances function and appearance.
How is recycled mulch different from traditional mulch?
Recycled mulch is made from repurposed wood, while traditional mulch often comes from fresh bark or virgin timber. Recycled options reduce waste and provide an eco-friendly alternative for landscaping and ground cover.
Traditional mulch can involve harvesting new materials, while recycled mulch diverts existing wood waste from disposal streams. By using reclaimed pallet wood, recycled mulch supports the circular economy, lowers carbon impact, and provides reliable performance for landscaping and erosion control projects. Many industries, from construction to agriculture, are adopting recycled mulch as a practical and sustainable choice, offering both cost savings and long-term environmental benefits.
What are the benefits of using bulk mulch for landscaping projects?
Bulk mulch is affordable, sustainable, and efficient for large projects. It retains soil moisture, prevents weeds, protects against erosion, and enhances landscaping appearance.
For landscaping contractors and municipalities, bulk mulch reduces costs compared to bagged mulch while offering consistent coverage across large areas. Beyond appearance, it improves soil health by maintaining moisture levels and reducing compaction. Bulk mulch also provides a natural barrier against weeds and erosion, making it ideal for parks, residential developments, farms, and highway embankments. Its sustainability benefits also appeal to eco-conscious projects seeking to minimize environmental impact.
Can bulk mulch help with erosion control?
Yes, bulk mulch is widely used for erosion control. It stabilizes soil, prevents runoff, and protects slopes, embankments, and disturbed construction areas.
Erosion control mulch works by forming a protective layer that holds soil in place, even under heavy rain or wind. It’s particularly effective for highway projects, construction sites, and agricultural fields where disturbed soils need stabilization. Bulk mulch from wood byproducts is cost-effective for covering large areas quickly. Combined with other erosion control methods, it helps reduce sediment runoff, improves site safety, and meets environmental compliance standards.
What industries commonly use natural wood mulch?
Industries including landscaping, construction, agriculture, and municipalities frequently use natural wood mulch for ground cover and erosion control.
Landscaping companies use bulk mulch for residential and commercial projects. Construction firms apply mulch for erosion control and site stabilization. Agricultural operations use mulch to protect crops, improve soil, and reduce water usage. Municipalities rely on mulch for parks, roadsides, and public spaces. Because recycled mulch is sustainable, affordable, and widely available in bulk, it has become a preferred choice across diverse industries.
