I would think you could take it to a paper plant. Anyone know for
sure?


The moron who lives on the other end of my block who put a woodburner in
his garage will take it. We wondered what the stinky acrid smell was in
the winter and spotted the smoke slowly coming out of the chimney and I
walked by and there was a pile of pine piled up next to the garage.


The smell was due to burning a cool, choked down fire, not from the
wood. Pine that is burned as a stove should be burned has a pleasant
smell as does almost all wood. There are a few that would make a skunk
proud.
