Tree bark can be used to make paper, mulch for the garden, or even burned in an outdoor fire pit. However many people don't realize that it's actually considered hazardous waste by most municipalities and cannot legally be dumped into landfills without special treatment! So if you're trying to get rid of some excess yard debris then consider donating your cuttings to a local arborist who will use them as compost or wood chips for landscaping projects instead. The best way to tell is just by looking at the weight since green logs are much lighter than dry ones which take up more space when stacking together so they won't rot away fast enough on their own before the burning season comes around again next year.
