Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide information and guidance for utilizing street tree removals; a “recycling” strategy that can potentially turn a cost-burden scenario into an income-generating opportunity. The strategy involves merchandising sawmill-size logs from street tree removals to sawmills or other companies that have unique uses for street tree logs. Recycling municipal trees by converting street tree removals to valuable sawlogs can generate income as well as reduce the amount of time and labor costs involved in processing this material into firewood.
