An Opportunity for Profit from Waste Wood    (View PDF)

Allan Marsinko

Abstract: A firewood lot was operated for two days in order to dispose of waste wood which typically consisted of large unsplit and forked pieces. Customers loaded their own vehicles, splitting the wood when necessary. At $10 per pickup truck load, the lot generated $1,230 in gross revenue during its two days of operation. The nature of the wood and the purpose of the lot have potentially profitable implications for arborists.
