Free firewood?

Question

There is a person a couple street and they cut some big limbs off a maple tree. He left the logs in his front yard. I was wondering how would I ask him if I can have the wood? What if he says no or he wants money? I dont know why Im asking this.

Answer 1

Ask him if he is using the wood or not -- it doesn't hurt to ask. Worst thing that could happen is he needs it -- and no harm done. If he isn't going to use it, then you'll have to cut it yourself with your chain saw and carry it off yourself. You are providing him with a service then of getting it off his property. The amount you pay him is dependent on the amount of wood, but if it is just tree limbs then don't go over $20

Answer 2

Just nicely ask your neighbor if he is going to use the limbs and if not you would be glad to clean up his yard and in the future if he does not want the wood, that u would gladly clean up his yard again. BJP

Answer 3

Go up and say, what you planning to do with that wood ?

tell him I will be glad to haul it off for firewod.

I just trimmed three large trees and had mine hauled off , the person had to cleam up all the limbs and haul it all off for the wood.

Answer 4

Offer to clear the wood - tell him you'll take it off his hands/clean up the lawn in exchange. If he says he wants to sell it then let him sell it. What are you out for asking?

Answer 5

Free Firewood - he's totally innocent!

Answer 6

JUST GO UP AND KNOCK ON HIS DOOR AND ASK HIM IF HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE WOOD REMOVED FROM HIS YARD.

Answer 7

yeah just simply ask and you would be suprised how nice they can be, i agree with the $20 limit and if you own a chainsaw tell him you dont mind cuttin it smaller
