Excess Chippings

[treedom]

Got a shed load of chippings and wouldn't mind shifting them to free up some space in the yard.

 

Biomass looks an option.

 

Need to find any companies who'll come and take it away for reasonable rates in the SE of england. Haven't got a loader but could borrow one if they don't have loader.

 

Any contacts?

 

Cheers

I'm sure I saw something about Eddie Stobart picking up chip for biomass.

Cheers,

saw that too but about £7 per tonne, i was hoping for a bit more

Stobarts pick up woodchip for biomass but at the moment there is a massive amount of chip around, apparently Stobarts aren't collecting until current levels go down.

There are a few big firms who will pay for chip, however I would try and find a farm who have installed a biomass system of their own. I am speaking to someone at the moment who has a biomass system that heats a heated floor barn for grain drying. when that is not being used it could be used to dry chip to improve its value as fuel. You could even do a deal where they get free chip and you use the spare heat to kiln dry wood...

That would be a very slick setup Tom!!

What would you do with it if you left it? £7 a tonne for what is really waste isn't bad mate.

ihad the same thought when i read the post surely £7 is better than watching it rot away and get nothing

Cheers guys.

 

Will look into those options.

 

Appreciate the advice
