Pine trees
I just had a large pine cut down because it was struck by lightning.
The guy that took it down said that he has to pay to dump the pine because no one will take the pine wood. I would think you could take it to a paper plant. Anyone know for sure? |

At best they _might_ take it off your hands if you brought it to them -- no way are they going to pay or pick it up (assuming there is a mill close by anyway)... The trimmer is probably correct if it is any place that has any trees at all that is is simply waste. -- |

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. |

Is it just pine that must be paid for, I'd be calling the landfill to find out for sure. Here, all tress are free to dump, it all becomes mulch for the City to use. Or call another arbourist, they would also know. Must be some kind of recycling center near you, that would take it for mulch. samurai. |

A lot of mills will not accept "back yard" trees because of the danger of embedded nails, etc. Their saws are too expensive to take a chance. Find somebody with a fireplace who is willing to cut it up an drag it home. Charlie |

Best solution -- have trees trimmed or removed by a company that has a chipper, have them chip up the material as it is cut down, then have them leave it behind for you to use as mulch. |

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. Harry K |

A whole thread about pine and not one person (I was going to say idiot but want to stay polite) didn't make the mandatory "don't burn pine, you'll burn your house down" post.

Most plants won't accept trees from residential yards because of the high likelyhood they have nails, bolts, wire, etc. embedded in them. However landfills usually will take anything. I'd guess your tree cutter just doesn't want to take the time or expense to haul it off. Red |

I would think you could take it to a paper plant. Anyone know for sure? how far away is the nearest paper plant? Maybe it would cost more to take it there than to a dump,even with dump charges. You should have had it ground to mulch,used it around the house. Mybe if it were a LARGE tree trunk,a mill would take it for lumber,or maybe a hobby woodworker. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |

Best friend has wood stove, after a nasty chimney fire he quit burning
pine completely. Around here you put pine at curb with free add in pennysaver, free firewood for camp. It always disappears |

Harry K Not counting palm trees, in this area of Central Florida (Highlands County) the primary native trees are Live Oak, Cypress and Scrub Pine, with more than a few Red Maple, plus a decreasing number of invasive exotics, esp. Melaleuca, Australian Pine (not really a pine) and Florida Holly (not really a holly -- aka Brazillian pepper). The most common fireplace wood is the propane gas jet. The most common landscape or dooryard tree is probably a citrus -- orange or grapefruit, with magnolia and Royal Poinciana also in the mix. From here south, the most common tree is probably the Palmetto, with Queen palms also in large numbers, if you want to include palms as "trees". In Palm Beach County, by code, three palms = one "real" tree, for landscaping approval. |

I use them all the time. Great for getting a fire started. Red cedar is also good since it contains a good bit of cedar oil. Not all pine stumps turn into lighter. Seems like those trees cut in the winter when the pine sap is mostly on the roots will form lighter stumps, whereas those cut in warm weather will just rot. Lighter stumps are harvested, placed in huge pressure cookers where the steam forces the turpentine out, then sold as "steam turpentine". Red |

Check out http://www.FreeCycle.org .
I just learned about it a few days ago. It's pretty cool. I wish I knew about it sooner when I had other stuff to give away -- even things like scrap metal or pine wood. It is a website to give away or get stuff for free and there are local groups for most areas. Part of the idea of giving stuff away is so it will not end up in a landfill. If you do decide to join one of the local FreeCycle online groups, it is sometimes easy and better to use a Yahoo email address for it. If you don't already have one, just create a free Yahoo email account with fake name, etc. "Terry" wrote in message ... I just had a large pine cut down because it was struck by lightning.

Tallahassee is beautiful with majestic oak. Central Florida is the same. The largest loblolly pine is located in a state park (around Gainesville?). On the edges of the Everglades you can observe strands of pines growing on the high ground (for what it is). Sea level. -- Oren "I wouldn't even be here if my support group hadn't beaten me up." |
