Minimizing Waste, Maximizing Yield

At Parton Lumber, we’re always looking for ways to use our resources so that we maximize our yield while minimizing our waste. Band mills are used in order to saw the logs that come into the mill. These saws have a very narrow kerf, meaning that they take off very little wood with each cut that’s made, resulting in less waste. During the milling process, leftover slabs are chipped and used by the paper industry, sawdust is used to fuel our boilers, planer shavings are accumulated and sold, and bark is ground into mulch that is used for landscaping purposes.


Our company will continue to seek out ways to provide top of the line forest products while maintaining the integrity of the environment. With Parton Lumber, you can rest assured that you will be receiving the highest quality products, while also supporting sustainable environmental practices.
