Wood debris disposal is a part of our everyday operations. I doubt most people consider the implications of disposing of wood chips, rotten and diseased wood, and large logs. They just magically disappear from the job site. Some clients think that we sell their wood and make lots of money. This is not the case. Read on to find out how we dispose of the debris we remove from job sites.

Options for Wood Debris Disposal

There are three main options for wood debris disposal; pay per load disposal sites, firewood, and hauling large logs to the wood mill for processing.

First, most wood chips go to a pay per load disposal site. A load of chips costs us anywhere from 75.00 to 100.00 dollars per load to dump. We always offer the chips to clients for free, but them taking them is the exception not the rule. We also give away loads of wood chips if the location is within a reasonable distance. Call for a delivery of free wood chips.

Second, we take some wood to pay per load disposal sites. A load of wood costs us anywhere from 100.00 – 150.00 per load to dump. We do not get paid for the wood.

Firewood

Third, we process a very small amount into firewood. This requires hauling the wood to a splitting site, holding it until it is seasoned, splitting the wood, loading it into a truck for delivery, then driving to the delivery site to dump it. Firewood is very time and labor consuming. It is very difficult to make money on firewood on a small scale, however we do split and sell some to repeat customers.
