What species of trees? If they are hardwood like oak, maple, ash, etc…, it would be good for firewood or possibly for lumber if it’s cut long enough. If it’s softwood like, pine, spruce or fir, then it’s a tougher sell. We used to share these species with scout groups for firewood since it burns fast.

I will ask the guy who cut them down, he hasn’t cut them yet either. That may be Monday.

If the pine is big enough someone might be interested in milking it into useful planks. The maples will really depend on the which kind. Red and sugar maple can be cool for slabs, Norway and swamp maple not so much. Could be good for free firewood if it’s cut to 18-20” pieces.

I think he’s going to cut them into useable pieces, it’s just a matter of where we can dump them. We don’t want money, we just want to get rid of it for space but I keep trying to call places in NJ and I’m Either getting no OR no answers.

There’s a lot of free wood out there. Use Facebook or local online resources. The species are not great for readily giving away.
