Recycling Services

Following the removal or reduction of trees, we can efficiently cut both the branches and trunks into log-sized pieces, if you would like to keep them. The logs will be appropriately sized for most woodburners, and we can arrange them conveniently on your property, ready for seasoning or immediate use if they are already dry. Alternatively, if you do not want to keep the logs we will shred what we can and take everything away.

Turning Woodchip into Biomass Fuel

When we carry out tree surgery, we often produce a large amount of woodchip - the small shredded pieces of branches and trunks. Rather than letting it go to waste, woodchip can be repurposed as biomass fuel, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.

What Is Biomass Fuel?

Biomass fuel is made from organic material - like woodchip - that can be burned or processed to produce heat and energy. It’s widely used in wood-burning boilers, biomass power stations, and heating systems for homes and commercial properties.

 

 


Spot on service from Tree Monkey. Callum and Connor did an excellent job and took great care with some precarious branches overhanging a neighbours summer house. A thorough tidy up after and left the logs nicely cut and stacked for the wood burner. Thanks guys.

How We Turn Woodchip into Biomass

1. Chipping - We use professional wood chippers to break down tree branches into small, manageable chips.
2. Drying - To be used as fuel, woodchip needs to be dried (seasoned) to reduce moisture content, improving its energy output.
3. Screening (optional) - Chips can be sorted by size, depending on their intended use (e.g. large boilers may require uniform chip sizes).
4. Delivery or Processing - The dried woodchip can be:
