Bulk Arb Waste wanted - can collect but how to find

[gand]

I'm guessing your listed on the tip site thing on here, also have a look at Greenline Arb app. Similar sort of thing and seems to work for people I've spoken to in south of the country

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!

 

 

It won't happen, as Didcot gobbles all green waste, including sweepings, chunks of logs and woodchip and because they won't have to pay haulage they'll pay alot more for everything that you won't take. That's how it is there. It's absolutely silly....

who are these people!? they pay to take stuff in?

 

the only thing i wont take is brash (just chip it first) or soil. 

 

i thought roots and big awkward lumps craned down are the most tricky to get rid off?

 

speaking to the lads who i see here, they all say they get paid to take the stuff down and unless its decent straight bits, just want to dump it as quick as possible and get on to the next job. 

 

is this now different then?

That must only be for pee wee outfits. 

 

There is and always has been a value albeit small in the timber and chip. Letting that go to waste or giving it away is not good business and never will be
