You can't, unless it is a byproduct.  When the trimming crews with those huge 
truck borne chippers are cleaning out the powerlines, I stop and ask them if 
they need a place to dump close by .. which they always do.  I've gotten tons 
of chipped wood this way.

Of course, it's like a lot of things.  If we run short, which we must, of 
chemicals to grow food and our only real solution is to create soil, then 
suddenly the direly necessary becomes economical as well.
