Questions about chip.

[treewizard]

Hi

I'm pricing a job which is going to result in a lot of chip just wanted to know what the average weight of a cubic meter of chip, as I'm firing it into a roll on roll off skip and they charge per tonne and the bin takes 40 cubic meters. Wondered if any of you recycling guys could help.

 

Cheers wiz

I work on between 350-600 kg per cubic metre depending on species and moisture content.

Why not stick it in a pile and sell it to the biomass boys?

 

40 yard skips are expensive!

If you have somewhere to tip the chip most skip companies will tip it at your site and just charge the haulage and bin rental.
