around here yard waste is run thru a chipper and available for free, but you have to load and haul....
so yrd waste doesnt end up in landfill.
every now and then there a brick mixed in, to the in pile, they damage the chipper

Our town used to have a section at the dump to put re-usable items that others could pick. It was eliminated about 10 years ago. as for logs, the town sells wood every fall to the highest bidder.

My town has a pile like that. And the town uses it to heat their highway dept garage.

I would make a caveat here, having done that once. Make sure the wood you are picking up is 1. a species that burns well, 2, it is not rotten, 3, it is not full of termites or other undesirable characters, 4. isn't moldy.
Lots of people want to get rid of wood, but a lot of it is not of the quality that is worth the trouble. Not all, but a lot, I'd say.
But, then occasionally, there are nice rounds of a tree that was felled, and they just don't have the means to take it away, a splitter, or maybe even a fireplace.

I used to live in Louisiana. Whenever they would make a new road, they would post publicly a notice that people had 90 days to cut all the wood they wanted. Oak, pecan, and lesser species, but LOTS of oak and pecan. Then they bulldozed it. It was great.

Yeah, that kills me. Sometimes when I go a builder will be dumping a load of fine remodler goods. All I can do is sigh and unload my crap.
