Firewood
Around 96% of the timber we cut becomes firewood. Seasoned, ready to burn, and sold locally, so the logs don't travel far.
How we recycle Every part of the tree
Nothing we cut goes to waste. Timber becomes firewood through our sister company Woodland Firewood, woodchip goes to gardens, allotments and schools, and the rest heats our yard and local homes.

Our recycling in short
Clearcut Tree Surgery recycles every part of every tree it cuts. Around 96% of the timber is recycled into firewood, cut, split and seasoned by our sister company, Woodland Firewood. Brash and small branches are chipped into woodchip, which is used for mulch and paths and sometimes donated to allotments, community projects and schools. Timber that can't be sold is used on site at our yard to fuel a biomass boiler that heats homes and offices nearby. None of it goes to landfill.

Cut
The tree is dismantled or felled. Brash goes straight into the chipper; timber is cut into lengths.
- 2
Sorted
Back at our yard near West Moors, hardwood for firewood is separated from softwood and lower grade timber.

Firewood
Hardwood is split and seasoned by our sister company, Woodland Firewood, then delivered across Dorset as ready-to-burn logs.

Woodchip
Chip is stacked to compost down for mulch and paths, or donated to allotments, schools and community groups.
- 5
Heat
Timber that can't be sold fuels the biomass boiler on site, which heats homes and offices nearby.
Where it all goes
Woodchip and mulch
Chipped brash makes mulch for borders and woodland paths. It holds moisture in the soil, keeps weeds down and rots down to feed the ground.
Allotments, schools and communities
We donate woodchip to allotments, school grounds and community projects when we have it. Ask below.
Heat
Unsellable timber is burned in the biomass boiler at our yard, heating local homes and offices instead of going to waste.
