Where to get free wood chips in Maine and how to use them

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • August 18, 2024

The simplest option for getting “arborist chips” delivered might be ChipDrop, a site for both tree companies and gardeners. You can sign up, pay an optional donation to cover delivery costs and wait for chips when they become available. It isn’t for everyone, the company warns. On social media posts, some Maine users praised the service, while others said they’ve waited for years. When a drop arrives, you could end up with a large quantity of chips dumped on your driveway without warning. It might not be the cleanest or the most finely chopped either. But, it’s free.
