- What do you do with all of the wood chips? Can I get a load of chips from Asplundh?
Show Answer | Hide Answer
Wood chips are recycled whenever possible, either as fuel or as landscape material. Chips are given away to the public in some areas. Ask the crew working in your area about availability or contact your local Asplundh office for more details.
Remember that the chips are freshly ground, may vary in quality, and contain a mixture of leaves, wood and bark. Crews cannot provide partial loads. A full load is about the size of a minivan. Consult your local Asplundh office about how to best use chips as mulch in the landscape.
