Most companies in my neck of the woods (greater Seattle area) charge for cutting down the tree(s) AND keep the wood, unless you pay them more to keep it yourself or the wood is fairly worthless.

Also Greater Seattle Area. Friend had someone come out and verify a tree up the hill from his house was at high risk of falling onto the house. Some kind of maple.

Got immediate approval to take it down from the city without all the usual permitting process.

Quotes he got all included **paying extra **to haul the tree to the dump. He opted to keep it on his land so they left a bunch of rounds in piles around his house / driveway, and it took four of us a weekend to use a wood splitter and axes to chop into firewood (and even then we didn't finish it all).

I guess they just dump it because land is too expensive in the area to store it stacked to dry to be usable firewood. Not to mention the labor costs.
