Obtaining free wood chippings?

[infowarrior]

Hi,

 

I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this but couldn't see a more suitable sub forum. I'm looking for free wood chippings to use as mulch in an allotment and a tree surgeon that I emailed recommended this forum and said someone here could point me in the right direction. I have the use of a sprinter van and can collect as long as it's not too far away. I live in Cramlington about ten miles north of Newcastle if anyone can help or maybe point me in the direction of anyone who can? I've emailed a few local tree surgeons with minimal response.

 

Cheers in advance.

TBH as you are wanting it for nothing, not even offering a little something for people trouble, I can't say I'm surprised.

the problem is tv and radio programmes suggesting that tree surgeons will let you have it for nothing. you can be lucky. like most however, i charge!

You can come and take all of mine if you want it. Might be a bit far though!

Find out who's doing utility pruning in your area - they often like to have local tip sites for chip.

I think you'll find there'll be plenty of tree surgeons happy to have an additional free tip site. best of luck with your search and welcome to the forum

Keep your eyes pealed a lot of wood chippings are left behind on road verges .

Remember take into account road traffic hazards.

I give mine away to lots of people, allotments, farms etc, some give me some beers, some give me food, some give me bugger all, BUT I get rid of my chip for free and without any hassle of wondering where I'm gonna tip.

Obviously I'd offer something for them plus they wouldn't need delivering as I have my own van. Cheers for the replies anyway. If there's anyone wanting rid of any in the northeast in the future let me know.

 

 

Cheers.
