Chips

[likeitorlumpit]

Never had a lot of luck selling it though we didn't try advertising too hard.

I'm happy to give it away close to where we are working- fresh

I don't produce much chip myself, I tip at a another local yard, where they chip for biomass etc.

I was approached by a local school who had an urgent need for min 3 tonne to poss 12 ish tonne of chip. I approached a local wood yard as they produce loads. Explained the need, and said I'd pay whatever they got paid plus a bit extra for loading my truck. The guy then told me he wanted £100!

Told him what I thought of his greed and left!

Oh dear handbags at dawn! your question was phrased poorly and gave the impression of stupidity. I apologise.

 

Essentially a chipper pays for itself through getting through the work quicker, not through the end product.

 

The end product is classed as arbo chip and is only any good as either landscape mulch or biomass wood chip for large power stations.

 

The size of the wood chip, and the moisture content means that it will never be suitable for smaller biomass application where the chip has various specs which relate to moisture content and thickness. G20, G30 and G50 are the common ones, this type of chip is produced by chipping dry roundwood to order.

 

The market for your arbo wood chip has many players, Shredco, Boomeco, Stobbarts Biomass and AW Jenkinsons to name but a few. They will all pay you around 8-14 £ per ton for biomass loaded into there walking floor lorries. It needs to be clean and loaded off either a thick layer of wood chip or a hard stand. You keep the weigh ticket from the lorry and invoice on the back of that.

 

You need to be able to receive articulated lorries and load them at 14'.

 

Hope that helps

Pile it up in your back yard, run a matrix of central heating pipes through and let it heat up, then pump all that lovely heat into your house for cheap cosyness

Thanks guys that's helpful. Don't think I'll be able to fill artics any time soon, but I'll definitely look into garden centres etc especially since I already supply a couple with lit's.

 

Sorry about how I first worded the question, I'll spend a few more hours pouring over it next time!!

The arctic is vast and would certainly take some filling be it the south or north pole . Or did you mean an artic ?

 

Hmmmmm... The South Pole is the Antarctic... ;-)
