Stobarts not payin for wood chip

[nick channer]

Anyone else been told this this week.

Called me yesterday to say they would cover the 5 loads booked in next week at £3 ton but after that they payin £0

I should be charging gate fee which I'm not and have no intention of Startin to do .

No not heard that, I told em last time it's 6 pound a ton or it stops where it is.

[Steve Bullman]

Its because people are giving them away for free...they don't need to pay anymore! Need to educate tree surgeons that their chip is actually worth something, stop giving it away!!

Hi foe all stobart pay for chip

[nick channer]

All our chip goes north

Mostly Liverpool so guess closer u are to there more u get

Used to get £6 before stobart bought out ahs

Every one who tips at ours would play £20 load if they had to but I'm not gonna start that.

No one at yard very often and end up with 10 load wood chip tipped and £40 through the letterbox

[nick channer]

You still got to load the stuff

Only reason we offered free tip was to get £3 ton so about £80 for 30 mins work with forklift which at most we can only charge out at £45 hour on farm working its nutts off in a muck heap etc

We try to get 3-5 loads in morning/day so good earner for loading

Why has the price of chip fallen so low is it due to the grants drying up. The recycling place near us charges per tonne £15 to take soil £12 to take rubble and £171.00 + vat to take anything wood ish. Even mixed waste plastic etc is only £110

Part of it will be the new rules for biomass from sustainable sources meaning the sort of chip your loading will only be suitable for compost.
