Yep, maybe a bit off topic on my part, but still somewhat related. Wood chips are considered debris where I live and you have to pay to dump them at the landfill. Fortunately, if you want to load up a trailer full of wood chips and take them away from the landfill, they will let us do that...

At least we can load up our wood chips for free from the county landfill. They only charge to dump debris. Last year I was out at the landfill and noticed that someone had thrown out some metal scaffolding. It looked like it was still in good shape, so I loaded it into my trailer. The guy at...
