Copper (all metal) yes. But reclaimed wood costs more than alternatives. I looked into it once - the premium I would have to pay to keep wood out of a landfill was just unrealistic.

Wood fiber is only worth it from industrial plants that create it in quantity, and without contaminants.

HDPE is not worth recycling - it costs more than just making it fresh.

I propose just burn it for energy (and thus reduce oil use). Then use that oil to make other HDPE. The lifecycle works out better that way.
