Roadside cord prices

[Iain H]

So i have got a surplus of ash at roadside, somewhere in the region of 100 tons . Not sold any before, i have processed it all myself but have plenty and have ongoing contracts for further stocks through the winter. What is the going rate? I am i silly to sell it?

Wood is cut to 2.5m and ranges from 10inch down, ideal for processor because that is what we cut it for!

It would be the smaller diameter heaps in the picture

Hi there,

 

Where abouts would the timber be, as regards to haulage?

[Iain H]

yes i guess it depends if you are buying or selling! What made me ask the question was that i got offered £30 and he would take everything i had! Thought i better just check what people are paying?

I am buying at roadside £35 for good stuff averaging around 8" . £40 a tonne I walk away. "2 twigs or 2ft buts I walk away. I think you may be too far away transport would kill it . At £30 a tonne I would buy it all looks good.

Your right Steve £35 is a fair price roadside the reason i said £35-£40 is that its ash and it would be good to go this winter.

i think you'd be mad to sell it, keep for a year if in no rush to shift it and this time next year if you still want to sell you can stick another £10 a ton on the asking price

if you could wait a month till i get my lorry on the road i'd buy everything you got for £35 a ton....

Down hear its £40 ton roadside then paying 12 haulage on top of that, so its no wonder they would take the lot at £30 so would i if it was closer, you should be asking 35 min as its also sorted to same size piles.
