Whether you're a gardener or an arborist, you can find and drop off wood chips and logs at local sites. First you have to sign up and pick what type of account it will be - gardener (wood chips receiver) or arborist (wood chips donor). Then, write down your full name and contact, and your shipping address. Finally, activate your account through an email link you'll be receiving, and then you can start getting free wood chips or giving them away.

By signing up and placing a request, you'll be added to a list of people in your neighborhood who are trying to get free wood chips. ChipDrop matches people who want free wood chip mulch with arborists and tree companies who are trying to get rid of it. The next time a local tree trimming company is in your area, they might deliver a load to you.
