if you see a group selling firewood under 973-479-9820 avoid them they are selling garbage wood thats frozen in blocks of ice and snow has no uniformed cuts or splitting many pieces will not even fit into the doors of my large woodstove after the ice and snow is removed this is just a warning you can do what ever you feel is best.

"I have 6-7 large trees (70-100 feet tall - fir, hemlock, maple, maybe a cedar) that I'd like to get rid of. If you'll come and SAFELY take these down, you can have the timber for milling/firewood/whatever. You'll need to be able to climb, limb, and section the trees and drop them in a direction I'll specify. I'd prefer a licensed and bonded timber service, but will consider entrepreneurs with a signed liability form and a $500 cash damage deposit to be returned once the trees are safely removed. You can drive a pickup truck to the felling area for quicker loading, but must avoid driving across a drain field.

I believe this work to be fairly easy for an experienced crew, but you could come and see for yourself."

This could easily become the longest thread in the history of forums! I was just browsing CL in the "Free" section, lots of firewood, and so many ridiculous ads. The supply of laughs is endless.
 
Here's a good deal...free wood if you hire a professional tree service to take them down!


Black Walnut Trees (2) (Shoreview, MN)

I have two large black walnut trees that I would like to give away. Both trees are healthy and still standing. You will need to find and insured tree service to take them down at your cost, but the wood is all yours. I will help you remove trees from my yard. And they are both free. Thank you.

This has to be a spoof. Or someone loosely tethered to reality. Not sure...

Is it really free if you have to pay someone to cut them down for you? Hmmmmmmmmm
 
If Craigslist is any indication, maybe I should plant my entire acreage to black walnut trees, then come retirement I should be able to sell them all for... ONE MILLION DOLLARS!! (Que the Dr. Evil pinky in corner of mouth) >>

I ain't getting near him unless he puts his shoes on.
Wonder if he'll notice when flaming limb falls out and rolls on the carpet?
Is that fire built with "logs"?

Have a Walnut stump I'll need ground after I get a licensed and insured tree professional to remove it for free. You can keep the sawdust if you want to grind it.

You must be a licensed and insured grinder.

Other stumps on property will be available if I can get someone to cut them down for free, too. if interested.
 
This is right in the farm and garden section where plenty of people are selling wood and offering delivery. Just none of them are selling it for $100 a cord. :)

Fire Wood Free (Eva, AL.)

I need some one that needs fire wood to cut on halves. I have the trees ,you cut the tree and split the wood and you get half free. About 3 miles south of Eva, AL. Email me or call, no text. Thank You.


This may work in some areas. Around here, this is ridiculous. No one would give away half (really more) of their work. Too many totally free trees to be had.

More people want a free tree service to do their yard work...

Free Firewood - Fallen Cherry Tree (Glenolden, PA - Delco)
01010_3MupK8KL8o5_600x450.jpg




If you are willing to remove the ENTIRE tree from my yard (and leave no mess), you can have the wood for FREE. You will need to supply your own Tools and Helpers. ***You and your helpers MUST be qualified to handle this type of job.

Any Pieces of wood or branches you don't want will need to be thrown into the woods at the back of my property. Please don't leave me a mess.

I'd prefer to finalize arrangements by phone...so emails that include a phone number will be answered first.

Thanks!

P.S. I will delete this ad once the wood is gone.

Don't leave a mess, y'all. Simply ridiculous.
