Firebroad,I would not be disappointed with that haul...did you cut it yourself, or was it a roadside trim up?
I have a client that is a tree company...I was at there office and guess what...all the workers have wood burning stoves or fireplaces...there customers pay them to take the trees and the company doesn't pay to dump it because the employees are taking the wood...win/winJoful,
Might be as easy as a call to the utility company to find out what the deal is. Check this out. I watched to county road commision cut down a huge old oak the other day. When I approached them about taking some of it, the reply was "No, we are not allowed to give it away due to liability". Makes me wonder where that prime hardwwood will wind up going to.
Thanks for the thoughts guys,
Tim
Got some oak this morning. Not a whole lot, but scroungers take what they can get.

Gark,I would call that a decent score. The wall of wood in the background looks to go off a very long way into the distance. Nice collection you got there. How many cords in the picture?
Gark,
Total is only around 8 cords. Most of it is less than a year CCS though. So it will be sitting there for quite a while before it ever sees a wood stove. But that's OK since I don't have one yet anyhow

Not my experience at all. Every time I've ever stopped and asked someone for wood, unless they plan to use it themselves, they've been happy to have me cart it away for them. I've actually had people stop on the side of the road while I'm picking up one scrounge to ask me if I could come get some wood off their property, as well!Glad you got the score. As I said in another post, around here $$ is king. People will not give wood away--they will, however sell it to you. Tree trimmings will sit and rot before it is given away. Unless you know the person, chances are the prop owner will want money.
