Tossing it in the landfill is a fantastic idea! After all, wood actually breaks down, unlike more conventional materials. So rather than having a hunk of metal and plastic, etc. buried deep in the colossal heap of trash, you'd have a hunk of wood slowly being decomposed by microbes working with little or no oxygen at their disposal, and therefore releasing methane instead of CO2 as they normally do.
Did I mention methane is a 20 times more potent greenhouse gas than CO2?
