I have seen ads around here you cut and pay $20.00 a pickup load, I haven't done it but does't seem too bad, but that price is too high.

I agree nothing wrong with the concept its just too much money, you pay to cut up scrap iron on a person's property and then sell it so not too far from reality I guess.

There is a good market out for this type thing. Some people I know will just buy a rik/truck load/what ever
once a year and not think twice about paying 80 bucks.
by the holidays it has dried up enough to get going in your Fire Place using a gas starter.
Smokes a lot, but they don't seem to mind.

They just say God I would hate to heat my house this way... LOL

re: leftover wood for your tree jobs (freeloader!)

So you want someone to basically deliver free firewood to your house? How pathetic. At least you could offer to pay for it and pick it up your damn self. You're not doing anyone a favor by having them deliver something to you for free that they could sell.

Sure is, this one here works for a bunch of members on this group. If a tree service doesn't have the time or want to process wood to sell for firewood they have to pay to dump it. It's easier to dump in someones driveway if you're working in their area rather than hauling it all the way to the dump.

Exactly how and why i get my wood.

Tree guy hauls to dump = 14 miles + 50-75$ per load.

Drops it in my wood lot = on the way back to his office. He pays me $50 bucks or $150 for the larger trucks.

Then i turn around spend my time, split, stack and then sell.
