Depends how friendly you all are round your way, a 5 minute chat when they drop off waste might see you picking up the odd job helping them out or able to pick up an extra hand if you're busy.. or they might be scouting you out to undercut you.... depends how friendly they are

True, I guess there are some people round here i know and trust , some I don't know...

Personally I find arb waste a night mare to process compared to nice clean straight bought in timber,, then you have the down time to consider with hitting metal and various othere items,, with bought in timber you can make a nice uniform  product, but as with arb waste if its soneone  else's who don't give a ×××× what timber or size they are tipping off fir you,, I do try to avoid othere people's waste niw a days,,,

Don’t sell much firewood myself but burn a lot as it’s my only form of heating. I run a JAPA 700 saw blade processor and a separate hydraulic splitter and it can be a pain to process but I’ve slowly educated the lads to trim the wood out more cleaner. Some Arbs bosh it out but ex forestry guys tend to trim it out clean. Either way if the woods free and let’s face it some of us also charge for removing it from site to our yard so it’s win win🤔

We are a small arb company based in Derby. We process all our waste wood into firewood but we sell out every year which has made me think about buying timber in and upgrading our current splitter. 
 

my question is, if I were to buy in 26T of ash cordwood how many 90x90 vented bags would I expect to get per tonne? 
 

Any help on this would be great.

You may need to consider how much you can make for a day on arb work and how much from firewood. Probably best to concentrate on your main business and have the firewood as a sideline

Good advice!  Every time you put prices up a few customers drop off the bottom... keep doing this until demand meets supply?

This is actually a well known business technique called the 'client ladder'.
