There is a large quantity of waste wood annually available, resulting primarily from forest thinning projects and urban tree trimming. Wood residue from Boulder County Parks and Open Space projects is currently . . .

Mixed ashes and other residuals from pulp and paper manufacturers also have value as a soil amendment and lime substitute, but they do not meet the definition of wood ash as defined in this publication. The University of Georgia, in cooperation with several other organizations, is studying many of these other by-products. If these studies indicate that land application of these materials is appropriate, procedures for their use will also be developed. Testing Any supplier wishing to make wood ash available to the public for land application should first test the product. Testing . . .
