One time I had called DOT for wood left on the side of Rt.7, and was told "After 10 days, take what you want", but I would recommend making the call yourself to be sure. While on the phone, ask where do they take it ?....may lead to a mother lode.
 
Big mistake "asking". Beside a public highway is public.
Bureaucrats always say "no". It's in their DNA as a CYA.
 
I’m hearing tornado touch down in the Brookfield/Southbury area and lots of trees down. Hope everyone is safe. Get some storm scrounges!
 
Was at my Nephews house yesterday removing a tree from his car and house. We did cut it up into nice sizes and I told him to leave by the road and it will be gone, as for me, I've got my own mess to clear. He has quite a bit of trees in his back yard, might be easier to keep that for himself rather than drag to the front of the house (he has a small fir pit).....yes, plenty of scrounging to be had in Brookfield....if you can get thru.
 
Craigslist is loaded with free wood right now from those storms/tornadoes a few weeks ago. There were tree companies literally begging people to let them drop off wood as they had nowhere to put it. I even saw an ad from a tree company for free split green wood delivered.
