Nothing Wasted · Dayton, WA

Sustainability at the mill

Every truckload of tree removal debris that rolls through our gate is material that used to be burned, chipped, or dumped. We turn it into wholesale pulp — and put 98% of every tree to work.

Our Model

Waste stream in. Wholesale pulp out.

Tree removal companies generate exactly the material most landfills don't want: tops, limbs, brush, and storm-damaged wood. Columbia Pulp buys that stream directly, grades it, and refines it into clean pulp fiber for paper, packaging, and molded-fiber manufacturers.

The result is a shorter, greener supply chain. No distant timber harvests for our fiber, no disposal fees for our suppliers, and no cleanup wood left to burn in the open air of Columbia County.

  • Removal debris diverted from burn piles and landfills
  • Whole-tree utilization — trunk, tops, limbs, and chips
  • Local haulage from Dayton and surrounding counties
  • Recycled water and closed-loop mill processes

How We Do It

Three pillars of a cleaner fiber chain

Sustainability at Columbia Pulp is not a brochure — it is the way the mill buys, processes, and ships every day.

PILLAR 01

Divert, Don't Dump

Every load of removal debris we purchase is material kept out of a landfill or burn pile. Our 45 supplier crews clear lots, corridors, and storm damage — we make the cleanup carbon- and cost-efficient.

PILLAR 02

Whole-Tree Utilization

Bark becomes fuel, chips become pulp, and screenings go to other industrial uses. 98% of every tree that enters the mill leaves as saleable product — a standard most fiber operations can't touch.

PILLAR 03

Local Miles, Lower Footprint

Our fiber comes from crews working within the inland Northwest, not overseas chip imports. Shorter haul routes mean less diesel burned per ton delivered to our Dayton facility.

Finding More Fiber

Scouting removal companies nationwide

Our appetite for sustainable fiber keeps growing, so we never stop looking for new supplier crews. To widen the net beyond the Northwest, we work with a tree removal cost estimator partner which helps Columbia find tree removal companies with excess tree capacity nationwide easily.

Crews that partner with us turn a disposal expense into a revenue line — and every additional load we source is more cleanup wood kept out of the ground and put to productive use.
