Donating Wood
Donated wood will be shared with a family in need who burns wood.
Please fill out the form on this page if you would like to donate wood.
Wood must be visibly inspected by a member of the Wood Bank and may not be delivered to the worksite without prior approval.
WOOD MUST BE PREAPPROVED FOR DELIVERY, and logs must be unloaded in a designated location based on size and species. Individuals may be responsible for all mitigation and removal costs of dumping for any unapproved deliveries.
PLEASE DONATE clean hardwood species such as maple, oak, elm, ash, birch, cherry, walnut, apple, beech which are free of rot and metal.
WE CANNOT ACCEPT softwoods such as pine, spruce, hemlock or any other tree with cones or needles vs. leaves; any hardwood with rot or metal; standing trees.
The Cumberland Wood Bank does not cut, or pay to cut, standing trees.
Due to the Emerald Ash Borer infestation in Maine, we are limited to specific towns we can accept ash from.
Log & Firewood Accepted Dimensions
Logs can be any length and under 24” in diameter. Already split wood, such as firewood, must be stove length up to 16”. Any wood over 16” must be in a separate pile for donation purposes.
Volunteer Wood Donation Pick Up
We have a 10-mile radius from our worksite, located at 46 Walnut Hill Road in North Yarmouth, Maine, for pick-up requests by volunteers, when available. Upon request, we can provide the name of local service providers who will cut down trees or pick up your wood and upon prior approval, deliver it to the wood bank. Any associated costs of working with service providers are paid for by the donor.
