Two Sundays ago I saw a friend at church who recently went to work at his father's tree service biz. They've been cutting trees since 1984. Anyway, I asked if he ever dropped wood off for people who use/burn firewood and he said absolutely. He said it actually does them a favor as their company would typically have to pay for disposal. I told him I have all the space he could want/need to dump off hardwoods. He said be careful what you ask for...each dump load could be 3-4 cords depending on job.
Well he dropped off the 1st two loads---ash and maple...about 2.5cord worth. I couldn't believe it!
I now have a supply of free, DELIVERED hardwood as I told him that I would be primarily interested in oak, ash, maple, and fir from time to time. He said not a problem, he would not drop off wood from jobs that are not good for burning. Pics of course...
