Yes, there is money in recycling wood fiber. However, like a lot of this type of stuff, it's a volume thing. For most of us small operators, the only significant return in processing wood items is in the avoided disposal costs. One way to get into this on a relatively smaller scale is to produce/ manufacture wood pellets. There is a lot of hobby-type equipment available.
