Especially in the 1960s and 1970s it became popular to recycle wood. For example, where I live recycled redwood was really in demand and now this is likely even more extreme because bugs don't usually eat redwood so you don't have to worry about termites usually but you have to have this wood approved by building inspectors before you install it. Another thing that can be recycled is pine flooring and oak flooring in a building being torn down. Often if it was installed property and cared for an protected it can be recycled. However, the problem is when oak is older you might not be able to drive a nail through it and even screws you might have to pre-drill the holes when you reinstall oak flooring. However, since you cannot get long pieces of oak usually (at least in the U.S.) old oak flooring in some ways is kind of priceless if you can find it to recycle and put it into your own house as flooring or wall board or whatever you want to do with it.
