Do you pay for the wood chips or do you have some kind of mutually-beneficial arrangement with a lumberyard/sawmill to take them off their hands?
Generally we don't pay for the chips. We have relationships with a few arborist crews in the area and put in enough face time at Town Hall to be approved as a drop site for the town tree crew as well. Today's load is coming from our next door neighbors, who are removing a few trees that present hazards to their house.
Sounds pretty win-win to me. Awesome you were able to arrange that with the city, too.
