Recycling Municipal Trees
http://www.fs.fed.us/na/morgantown/frm/cesa/rmt/rmt_index.html
The purpose of this guide is to make officials of munici-palities aware of an alternative strategy for using their street tree removals; a "recycling" strategy which 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.

Meanwhile, the American appetite for wood continues to grow. Although
net growth on commercial U.S. forestlands exceeds harvest by about
one-third, our nation is still a net importer of forest products. The
utilization (recycling) of municipal trees can contribute to the conservation
of forestland resources by generating wood products from trees that
need to be removed anyway.

In the United States over 200 million cubic yards of urban tree and landscape residue are generated every year. Of this amount, 15 percent is classified as “unchipped logs.” To put this figure in perspective, consider that if these logs were sawn into boards, they theoretically would produce 3.8 billion board feet of lumber, or nearly 30 percent of the hardwood lumber produced annually in the United States.
