Materials Recovery and Recycling
Custom Milling:“Ready for Delivery!”
When it comes to re-sawn wood, there are few left in the area that can do it the old way. Dean’s father Dale Larson learned his craft from his father, who learned it from his father before him. For three generations the Larson family has had a deep reverence for wood and that tradition is carried on today by Dean.

Biomass Removal / In-Woods and On-Site Grinding Services
It hasn't been too long ago since most contractors would have preferred to burn clean wood debris as opposed to hauling it off site and paying disposal fees. Stricter burning laws, rising fuel costs, changing weather patterns, and expanding residential boundaries have changed the dynamics on how most contractors handle clean wood debris.
Much of the debris is being processed for use as an alternate fuel source. This is good news to contractors as it cuts handling costs that are normally associated with grinding because we come to the job site!
Time savings is significant too. Under normal conditions around 1000 yards of material can be processed and shipped from a job site in a single day. Trails End Recovery offers a complete solution from processing the material to hauling the material off site for any size of job.
Trails End Recovery’s on-site grinding services also includes a remote operated track system that allows one operator to grind and load clean wood debris fast and efficiently. The track system allows for better maneuverability for off road applications as well.
So, if you are looking for a safer, more cost effective solution to disposing of clean wood debris, Trails End Recovery has the experience you need. Call today! (503.861.6030)


Material Recovery
Our Salvaged and Remanufactured wood timber products are at the very heart of our business. Trails End Recovery was founded on the practice of recycling heritage wood materials into usable, valuable elements that can be incorporated into your landscape design or the renovations and remodeling of your home or office.
We have unique, one of a kind material that you simply will not find anywhere else. Come and see what we carry in person. Only then can you get a real feel of what ancient wood looks like after it has been remanufactured. We can provide Custom Milling of your wood to any custom specification that you may have. Our office displays a few of the products and some ideas on what you can do.
The Trails End Recovery office is full of reclaimed lumber. The trim throughout the building is from the gym bleachers at Lewis and Clark School. The conference table is made out of materials that were recovered from the demolition of Pier 3. The counter in the office is made out of a beam from the 2005 Astoria Safeway demolition.
