I think if you want regular donations then it is best to contact your local tree surgeons.  Took a few attempts but I have a pretty regular supply now for the cost of a few bottles of wine.

Ah sorry. In this case I will be right there!

no sign of any free wood

TBH i think the word ,FREE in cases like this is a little bit cheeky, The offer of a brew and a few chocolate biscuits goes a long way and to drop the lads 20 or 30 quid will go even further and a few added beers even further, Given the present times and as some lads in the industry now start to feel the pinch and the demand for firewood gets greater, it simply gets dropped off at the place where the exchange is fair for both sides,,

That’s why I modified the directory so those offering something in exchange will be first to get a bite of the cherry

I can see less and less lads being willing to give up their logs for nothing or even token offerings as times get harder and harder. Every penny will count for a lot of people soon. I see more and more posts on FB Market place from Tree Surgeons selling Arb Waste at the side of the road or off the back of the truck on a first come first served basis and see to sell the relatively quickly as well. Whilst at the same time  huge numbers of folk signing up for tip-site. 

 

Seems to be a big disconnect between want and reality.

Yep, I have realised that and changed my listing to paid one, in exchange for some cash or home cooked curry 👍
