chip and log sites around the UK

So what would you need to burn the tipped product in a biomass boiler or domestic fire?

 

Its the storing of chip and logs that could be problematic.

 

Farmers are generally OK, if the chip is going to be used in agriculture, for example for cattle bedding.

Appropriate certificates exemption papers to handle such "Waste" Costs money, then the potential fines.

 

Unfortunately its probably best to post a need to tip such then respond by pm.

 

It is a good idea but not in a bureaucratic world lacking common sense.

 

Some E A personnel have quite a reputation for being sticklers, uni not real world.

So we are allowed to burn diseased larch but need another certificate to burn clean Arb waste?

I can take chip near Haverhill on the Suffolk/Essex/South Cambs border.

 

I have T23 and U12 exemptions.

If you are handling relatively small quantities (tens of tons in most cases, for some purposes that's per month, for others per year) then you fall under the exemption threshold, which you register and is free.

 

If you need to handle larger quantities, you will need a permit which you pay for:

I would be happy to take clean chip and logs in leeds.

I think we will need to look into this.

However thinking logically the only difference I can see between our bought in round wood and chip compared to arb waste logs and chip is the fact that have paid money for ours. We store many hundreds of tons of chip and many thousands of tons of round wood so storage should not be an issue. We would be happy to get free or very cheap wood or chip and I think other large biomass users would feel the same.

So if anyone is working in the Saltash area anyone would like to sell us some chip for our boiler, lengths of round wood for chipping or logs for my Rayburn please pm me. I wouldn't

want to pay much but we would then be dealing with a product rather than waste so

presumably no hassles with permits.

Unfortunately logic does not come into it. You need to be very careful of the EA rules I have a string of exemptions as long as my arm but even so still need to be wary of the very low tonnes that you can actually store. Also in respect of chip dont get caught with the composting rules especially run off from woodchip piles into rivers. Thats why I dry my woodchip and put it in IBC containers undercover for storage.

Paperwork?

 

If it comes in as virgin woodchip, the burner is providing useful heat, clean burning and less than 300kW(t) nothing. If the chip comes in as clean untreated vegetation waste with a transfer note you need exemption U4 I think, still haven't got my head round the paper chain once it's burnt.
