Please explain Woodchips with Limitations*

[NEDKELLYGUY]

Hi, I'm new to registering a Wood chip tip site and under the option for receiving chip I have "clean woodchips" and " Woodchips with limitations* ". Please can someone explain the latter option. I want to receive woodchips for making woodland pathways and but do not want to risk inheriting infected or chemically potent deliveries for fear of harming my woodland ( e.g. Chalara ash die back spores ). Can someone please explain the categories?. thankyou.

It is for people who want to specify any species they can’t accept, such as potentially poisonous species like yew. This is mainly for people keeping livestock etc. In your case clean wood chips should be the correct category

Hi Steve, are there regulations about chipping Ash and distributing it as chip ( to prevent ash dieback spread )? Could I be sure a delivery would not contain the disease?

You can put in the description that you won’t accept ash and discuss contents if anyone contacts you. That part of the transaction is entirely between you and them. Not sure about regulations regarding the movement of ash chips specifically though sorry
