what does a firewood sale cost you in timber?

There is a pile of demolition timber the size of a football pitch at Raymond Brown at Barton Stacey about 30 miles from Slough. They try sending theres to Holland so the rate must be poor at slough.

 

It may be that SHP isn't licensed for the wood if it is painted or otherwise contaminated.

 

Most of the big incinerators can only take residual waste (domestic stuff in black bags) and they charged £80+/tonne a few years ago.

 

One on the south coast would take things like sleepers at a gate price of £50 which is £79 worse than the £29 we were getting for virgin chip at SHP.

 

Just do the figures for for maximising the contaminant content to be within the rules in order to put a bit of waste into the virgin chip heap.

 

The giveaway with sleepers is the smell but you could also see the odd blue fleck from a chep pallet or a bit of chipboard.
