Scrap Wood How Much Would I Get For It?

[Jkerry]

So i can easly get my hands on abit of scrap wood, from joiners ect like mdf and other offcuts from ect, and i would be able to put them in them big white 1 ton builders bags, How much would a full one of these fetch these days? im maybe looking to sell them on to firewood sellers, and they could be easly made into kinderling ect, Please let me know how much you think these would fetch or how much you would pay for one?

A friend of mine use to get the off cuts by the bulk back from local stamco he gave em £10 a bag. I don't think you could ask for more than £25-£30

Wouldnt even think about mdf or ply ect as it's full of glue think it's also canergenic (spelling)

Not sure burning MDF is a good idea, you could get into bother for selling it for that purpose.

ahh i see what you mean

Would not be wise to sell MDF PLY or Treated wood including painted wood as im sure its illegal to burnit due to harmfull emmisions !

I am always looking for joinery offcuts. Untreated no mdf ply or man made boards. Ideally cut to exactly 6inch I have several supplies of this for £5-£10 a bulk builders bag. Or large timbers 2x2 upwards at least 3ft long. A bag of assorted stuff 7in long is a waste of time for us and worthless. The 5in offcuts we struggle to sell for £10 a bulk bag to the public.

I pay £1 per IBC container of softwood joiners waste so you wont get very rich selling to me. I could charge them for waste disposal but thats a whole different licensing paper nightmare.

Selling it as firewood looks like a loosing game ( the same game people play where I am from, except with log nets like the ones in petrol stations, sell them for like, 3 quid a bag), but kindle it up and what the difference between it and stuff fresh off the tree? I would say joiners stuff may be better as it'll already be dryish anyway - less storage time. I have been thinking about this myself

I'd look to get it from a saw mill rather than a joiners shop. It would be untreated, and mostly un worked so it'll be slightly rougher. It would dry better and also catch better when lit.
