Tip sites

[lee day]

Does anyone ever get any timber dropped at their tip site then there plenty of cutting going on but not heard of anyone receiving any timber dropped at tip sites

[Steve Bullman]

Yes all the time. Not sure that you would particularly get to hear about it though.

I have dropped off timber to a fair few on the directory, I always seek out the ones offering cash/wine though.

Yes we have dropped timber off at various sites . Generally when we need get rid of chip we offer the timber as a sweetener.

I got both my regular drop offs via tip site, they do take everything the client doesn't want from chip and ivy ridden stumps to logs and more desirable stuff.

 

If you have plenty of cutting going on near you go and have a chat, if you can collect it from source they might be happy that you are saving them moving it. If you have something else to sweeten the transaction then that might work too.

We literally have everything here. Free CBD for wood chips and logs anyone?

One has to ask, are you making the CBD oil, using the smell of rotting woodchip and running chainsaws to hide the grow house ?.

Embarrassed to admit that as a former geographer my first thought was 'Central Business District'  🤪

Are the guys who are working in the area local to you or are they travelling in from a distance, reason being a local firm are more likely to have long established routes for their 'waste', they might not even look for a tip site in the area - just use what they know. If the firms are outside the area then they I think are more likely to want a local tip site rather than drive a tipper full of waste, a couple of journeys or more longer distances.

 

If you can give one of them a shout next time you pass, that can give surprising results.. chainsaws are hard to hide (till they all go battery). an early lunchtime walk does me quite well sometimes

 

 

I know where I would be going however if I was working in the south west!!
