Good deal at $85. It's hard to find cheap wood here, unless you get
it yourself. I've given up on that!


My city has a "yard waste" pickup schedule (it alternates months with
"heavy trash"). Or, the city says, you can take your yard waste to the
collection center.

I haven't checked, but I'll bet the city wouldn't mind if you hauled off a
pickup load of logs...

'Course you'd have to have a home-made splitter like we saw in the video!


You lose. They won't allow any salvage at all. I go to the dump, and see
bicycles and all sorts of things I would like to bag. They won't let you
take anything, and for insurance purposes, you cannot load anything that is
there.
