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?

Yes, the guys at the paper plant will know. Why not give them a call?

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.

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.

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.

I'd just wait until after Christmas when many parks departments take
trees for recycling. Tell them I had this REALLY high cathedral ceiling.

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.

My parents had a lot of fires in the fireplace, and much of the wood
around here is pine. We had really a lot of pine trees around the
house.

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

South Florida was dependant on pine wood (fire wood). A Loblolly Pine
has a deep tap root and was harvested from forests for turpentine.

The root is prized for kindling, at least back in the fifties.

We called it a lighter knot.. Expect this pine sap to burn hot.

Here in the city of Chicago I just call 311 and ask for a
"Forestry pick-up" and the city sends out one of its big blue
trucks with da mare's name painted on the side and the chipper in
tow and takes care of everything!

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.

Amazing. 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. We have all seen them,
the posters who have never heated with _any_ wood and never knew
anyone who had.

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.

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.

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.

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.
