This is my experience with "free roadside wood"... regardless of the 25 foot ROW in my state, if the wood ends up in front of private property or especially a residence. i simply knock on the door and ask if i can take it. this is easy to determine in wooded areas because of posted signs (most have a name and number). if the wood is laying on the side of the road in front of county or state property, I take it. i have personally stopped asked county/state and utility workers if i can have the wood. their answer has always been "well that's why we leave the burnable stuff by the road". next time you see them out there cutting, just stop and ask.
Taking wood from along the road, legal?
