Lol....

yeah, so long as you have a place to take that mix of "crap"! Around here you'd have to pay to dump that truck; and i only know of one place that would take it, alzo costing an hour of travel time. chips are easy to get rid of so long as they're "nice". Wood also. That being said, ohio is slow at adopting new anything....hell we just legalized gambling 5 years ago, last state in our region.

Thanks for the reply. We have actually been approached by Kurtz Bros. and Ohio Mulch asking us to dump at each of their competing mulch yards more often. They have stopped short of paying us for the material but dumping is definitely not a problem. The Kurtz Bros. rep stated that they preferred our unchipped brush over chips because it gives them more control over screening the final product. I guess if they grind virgin material it yields higher quality products vs. re-grinding chips.
 
we dump a grapple truck cheap here. $35 for 55-60 yard truck at one yard and $25 at another but no logs over 8' or ove 36" in diameter. those dump at $60 a truck at one yard and $12o at another nothing over 12' long at the cheaper yard and if its over 4' in diameter nothing over 8' and the more expensive yard they don't care just unload and leave they do the rest with track hoes n stump screws, and a 40" horizontal grinder.
 
Interesting. We have never paid anything to dump brush. We will end 2014 with a little over $70,000 in revenue from selling our logs from removals.
 
When we do removals, all the material is loaded in the grapple truck. We pull the marketable logs out of the load at our site then empty the rest at the mulch yard down the road. We then invite timber buyers to our yard to give us bids on the logs every few weeks/month or so. Once we have the highest price we deliver the logs to the buyer.
