How to give away large amounts of chopped not kiln dried wood?

[DonmarW]

Hi,

 

Bit of an odd one, I work for a theatre based in London that will be chopping logs of wood on stage for weeks (9 logs per performance). We would like to give away the wood, however it would be not kiln dried, likely chestnut wood.

 

How do I approach this? Are there schemes in place to give away wood?

 

Many thanks,

Horse chestnut or sweet chestnut? Either way, if you save it up then list it in car boot sized loads free on gumtree or Facebook I should think people would collect it. They certainly would down here, may be a bit different in London?

Still good firewood, patience will dry it just as well as a kiln. Local FB page, or look on the tip sites page here on arbtalk.

Or just put it in gift bags and leave them in the foyer for the audience to take home, maybe with a charity collection box next to it.

That's a good idea

TBH getting rid of wood is never a problem if it will fit in the boot of a car.  Lots of people out there happy to take wood and dry it.
