We believe lumber should be harvested sustainably, with forests managed in a way that ensures resources for generations to come. At 1st Choice Millworks, we partner with companies that uphold ethical practices and embrace good stewardship of God’s creation.
Here are a few partnerships that highlight our commitment to working with honorable organizations while making small but meaningful contributions to caring for the environment:
This partnership not only keeps waste out of landfills but also creates a full-circle solution where every scrap of material contributes to something bigger. It’s a powerful example of how small, local collaborations can have a massive environmental impact.
Protecting the environment isn’t just about the materials we use—it’s also about how we handle what’s left behind. That’s why we’ve partnered with , a leader in waste management, to ensure our waterborne finishes are disposed of safely and responsibly.
All waste from our waterborne finishes is carefully collected and handled by Safety-Kleen.
The liquid waste is transformed into a solid, ensuring it can be properly treated.
The solid waste is then sent to the Airway Heights, WA incinerator waste treatment facility, where it is safely and efficiently disposed of.
Improper disposal of coatings and finishes can harm waterways and ecosystems, but our partnership ensures that none of our waste goes down the drain. Instead, it’s treated with care and precision, preventing environmental contamination and aligning with our commitment to sustainability.
By working with Safety-Kleen Safe Harbors, we’re going beyond compliance—we’re setting a standard for how businesses can manage waste responsibly. It’s one more way we’re reducing our environmental footprint while delivering the highest-quality products to our customers.

Cannon Hill Industries picks up our wood waste, sawdust, and trimmings.
The material is ground into biomass and delivered to a local mill.
There, it serves as a biofuel to power mill operations, replacing fossil fuels with a cleaner, renewable energy source.
By working with Cannon Hill Industries, we’re helping our community transition to greener energy while keeping our processes efficient and sustainable. This initiative reflects our belief that true sustainability means finding creative, impactful solutions—and working together to make them happen.
