Free Drop
Useful leftovers. Tree crews, sawmills, breweries, stables, and builders post what they have. Gardeners, farms, and homesteaders post where a load can be dropped.
The hauler keeps 100% of the priority pay. The market does not hold the money.
The platform fee is off.

Safety notes
Wood chips
Wood chips can heat up in a deep pile. Keep fresh chips off plant stems, and ask if the trees were diseased.
Logs/firewood rounds
Rounds are heavy and can roll. Green wood needs time to dry before it is burned as firewood.
Sawdust and shavings
Sawdust from treated or painted wood is not bedding or garden mulch. Fresh sawdust ties up nitrogen if it is mixed into soil.
Manure/compost
Manure should be composted before use on vegetables.
Spent brewery grain
Spent grain spoils in 2-5 days in warm weather. Do not leave it sealed in a closed tote.
Leaves
Leaves can hide trash or branches. Compost them before using them on a vegetable bed.
Straw
Straw can carry weed seed. Do not use moldy bales for animal bedding. Hay is not the same as straw.
Used pallets
Take pallets stamped HT (heat treated). Do not take pallets stamped MB, or ones that look chemically stained.
IBC totes
Know what was in the tote. Do not reuse a tote that held chemicals, fuel, or waste for drinking water or food.
Scrap lumber
Scrap lumber may hide nails, paint, or treatment. Do not burn treated wood, and do not use treated or painted wood where food is grown.
Fill dirt
Fill dirt can hide glass, trash, or invasive roots. It is not topsoil unless the poster says so.
