Bulk Arb Waste wanted - can collect but how to find

[Woodwanter]

Morning All,

 

not posted for a while. We use around 300 tons of arb waste a year for personal use at home. in the past we have collected it with out too much trouble but it seems there has been a lull recently.

 

i know there is plenty of demand for decent cord wood that can go through a processor but is there much demand for knottie trunks, awkward shapes and general big arse bits that need 5 guys to lift and can't be easily split? We are not in the least bit fussy on what we take in, can be any shape size or species. 

 

ideally i would make contact with some local lads who have a yard and once they have enough for an artic load, one can be organised.

 

where do folk get rid of that 'tricky pile' in the corner of their yard? The Log Goblins only seem to like the bits which can go straight in their log boiler! I am at the other end of the scale from them focusing on the WATSE part of arb waste!

 

based in Oxfordshire, a few minutes from the M40 so great access.

 

any help or suggestion welcome. 
 

PLEASE NOTE, AS PER MY AD, I AM EXPECTING TO PAY SOMETHING FOR ARB WASTE!

Exactly what I thought!

Almost two tons a day throughout winter.

300 tons for personal use i think not 😂

[Woodwanter]

Ha, yes it does heat a house, we also use it for grain drying, our wood burner is just a bit bigger than said log goblins.

 

i meant not for resale when i said personal use - perhaps not that clear, granted. 

 

its why we can take the big bits, just load them in whole. getting too old to use a chainsaw!

 

any suggestions welcome!

Either way he's looking to collect artic loads.

I've offered loads of tree surgeons to clear all the arb waste they've got, quite hard to get them to do a deal rarely hear back.  Busy I guess.

Good luck

Why would they give it away for free when it can go for chip paid loads.

[Woodwanter]

im not asking for it for free. ive got an Ad running too offering to pay. 

 

most of the stuff i get in would not fit through your average 12 inch chipper, some of the logs are 2m wide bases, roots, all sorts.

 

OK then, what do most surgeons do with the bits that are to big to man handle, chip or split?

You never offered to pay in your first post. The farmers I know in my area who take wood chip also buy it in by the bulker load!

I didn't and i will edit it to match my add where j do offer to pay.

 

Chip is easy to handle and wanted by many.

 

farmers and others buy in chip thats dried to burn, thats way more refined than arb logs which are clunky etc.
