I'm always interested. I'm in Mequon, WI. If possible I would like to stay with hardwoods except for Box Elder, Willow. I can't offer much money for a drop off but there is always cold beer on hand.

I live in Oconomowoc, WI and work in Brookfield. I would love some free (and insect/disease free) firewood. I can not take a ton of it, but I can pick it up.

Free firewood in Bloomington, IN

Lots of wood, free for the taking. The problem is that the wood is down and needs to be cut. I have one big poplar, a decent size cedar, and a mix of locust, sassafras, sumac, and some others. Most is in a good location for cutting, but getting it out would have to be a couple hundred feet by wheelbarrow or four wheeler...no truck will fit back where the wood is. Drop me an email if you would like more information.
 
For free wood in any area, try 1.going to new construction sites when they are clearing lots. 2.Stopping and speaking to tree service guys when you see them in the area (or hear the music from their saws & chippers). 3. Look for piles of wood out to somebodys curb.
I live in NYC and heat my house entirely with wood and have never paid for it. Most of my wood now comes from where the NYC parks dept. dumps the wood they cut, or from a commercial land clearing operation when it is piled up before it's chipped. I like the latter two methods better because I can be more picky about what I take when there is a pile of oak, maple, ash , and cherry.
Some cautions. If you get a tree service to deliver to your house for free (the most anyone ever asked for was a case of coronas) You cant be to selective about what you get....notches, crotches, and carpenter ants.
If you find wood in front of someones house, ask if you can take it. and split a piece before you load up your truck it sucks to see that the wood is beginning to rot after you get it to your place.
If you ask a commercial tree operation to bring you wood, there is always the possibility they might think you want wood when you dont. My dad once recieved an "unscheduled delivery" that blocked his car in the driveway for a week and a half!

I'm looking to stock up on firewood, mixed hardwoods preferred, for the woodburning stove. I can pick up as much as the Silverado will hold.

I'm near Barrington, IL, about 1/2 hour from the Wisconsin border. I make frequent trips to Davenport, Iowa and Chesterton, Indiana.

If you are within my range and have firewood you'd like picked up, e-mail me. Thanks!

I'm 15 min north of Milwaukee. I have plenty of shorts, butt ends and other pieces that are not suitable for sale. There is nothing wrong with the wood it's just not nice to look at. I also have a lot of Box Elder and Basswood you can come and take all you want. The shorts pile is Elm, Ash, Maple etc.

Front Royal area, Virginia. Have saw, will travel for free firewood. I'm not picky. If it will burn, I'll take it.

Well, okay, I WON'T take any orange tree wood. That stuff is just nasty.


But then, I doubt there's much around here!
 
I burn a-lot of fire wood, and sell a cord or two a year on the side. If any of you Arborist or removal guys in the Cincinnati area have any wood you don't want I'll take it, i'am not picky, as long as it's solid I'll take it. I would much appreciate it.

Thanks Andy.
 
While I'm still in the process of making the trees into the firewood, I will have several cords of maple and oak here in northeastern CT (Ellington). I'm happy to let someone that can use it have it, rather than hauling it to the brush dump.
 
Say, you folks that need to just get rid of firewood, try www.freecycle.org. It's amazing what people will give away and amazing what you can pick up for free. There's probably a FreeCycle group in your area. Check it out.


Uh, those of you who aren't in my area, anyway. :D
