The enviroment agency now require all tree surgeons and arboricultural contracters to carry a valid waste transfer licence. this means that any one who carries waste material i.e woodchip or timber should have the correct licences and are registered to the local enviroment agency. without this licence it is infact illegal to remove waste from any site.

On average we produce between 200-250 tonnes of woodchip a year, we also have a high volume of timber. Our machines are maintained regularly to make sure our chip quality is to a high standard, this means it can be recycled and used for biomass, we store large volumes of woodchip that is collected on a regular basis and used in power stations accross the uk.

We can also provide our customers with woodchip for their gardens and allotments. Our timber can be used in different ways. Hard woods i.e beech, oak, ash etc, can be used for firewood as it burns very well. Soft woods i.e conifer and pine can also be used for fire wood if properly seasoned or sent to be used for biomass also, it will be collected and processed through industrial sized woodchippers and then further processed in the same way as our woodchip.

Where possible we send larger pieces of timber away to saw mills to make garden furniture and other useful products that you see in many gardens.

Herts Tree Surgeons works alongside companies to make sure our waste is managed in the best way possible for a greener and more pleasent enviroment. If you have any questions about this or any of our recycling methods our friendly staff are always on hand to help and if you would like to see our licences prior to any work commencing we are pleased to send you over a copy
