New idea

[Charleton Chips]

I've got a new idea for my business.

I've been thinking of buying a truck like a Volvo fle 220 steel tipper second hand or using my tractor & trailer and collecting wood chip from people who can't an artic in but can get a little truck in or collect from job. Either charge them or buy the wood chip . Do you think it will work. If it did work how would do the weight or price

That idea may well float buddy, there are many places big vehicles can't get in. If you can get the chip at good price (assuming you don't chip yourself) then go for it

 

 

Good luck and best wishes it cool to see some one thinking and trying to make life better

On that subject if anyone near me then I got a lot of brash from around 100 plus trees if anyone would like to come get it and chip it ......It bout 70% hardwood brash and 30% softwood .....some of the brash is bout 2" dia

Wouldn't it be worth asking some local tree surgeons to tip it at your site and you recycle it and sell it on? they get a free tip and you make a few quid.

Lot of effort for bugger all money, particular with the recent price drops due to power station closure. I bet you wouldn't even cover the diesel and truck running costs properly even if you got the chip free and sold it on.
