Subcontracting
Need extra capacity or specialist skills? TreeStation provides subcontract crews for:
- Treework and tree surgery
- Woodland management
- Forestry operations
- Chipping
- Timber extraction
- Landscaping
- Haulage
We run our own haulage fleet in-house. That means your job stays on schedule, because we are not waiting on third-party transport.
Arisings Disposal
We handle green waste from one-off clearances through to large ongoing contracts. Every option keeps your arisings out of landfill and feeds them back into the supply chain as woodchip, firewood or timber.
How It Works
- Hooklift bins at your yard -- We place bins on your site and swap them out when full. Particularly useful for local authorities and contractors with regular volumes.
- Drop-off at TreeStation -- Bring your arisings to our yard at Vaughan Street, West Gorton (M12 5FQ). Use postcode M12 5BT for satnav.
- Site extraction service -- We collect directly from your work site.
Charges and Payments
What you pay (or what we pay you) depends on the value of your arisings. We assess based on:
- Species
- Contamination level
- Dimensions
- Presentation
We accept virgin timber only. No soil, rubble, wire or other contaminants.
Contract Chipping
We bring our chippers to your site and process your timber into woodchip on the spot. You keep the chip, or we buy it from you.
This is cost-effective for large volumes and works well for local authorities converting arisings into biomass fuel for council boiler systems. No transport costs for the timber, and you get usable fuel or a sale at the end of it.
