FAQ
ChipDrop questions, answered.
ChipDrop is built around arborists in the US, so in the UK there are few, if any, tree surgeons to drop chip for you. Chiprun does the same job for the UK: list your garden, allotment or farm and UK tree surgeons find you when they're working nearby.
Search Chiprun by postcode or town to see drop sites near you, or list your own spot so local tree surgeons can find it. Listing takes about two minutes.
Yes, ChipDrop is a genuine service, widely used in the US. The idea works because tree surgeons have to pay to tip chip, so a garden that will take it saves them money. Chiprun brings the same idea to the UK.
Yes, and for everyone. Listing your site is free, getting woodchip or logs is free, and tree surgeons search free. There's no fee to move up the list.
Yes. When you list, choose mulch / woodchip, logs or both. Logs from tree work arrive green, so they'll need a year or two of seasoning before they're ready for a log burner.
Tap “Remove listing” and you're off the map straight away. Every listing also expires after the time you choose, from a week to three months, with a one-tap reminder email before it does.
