putting that rope back on the big spool used by those trucks wouldn't be worth doing. That type of rope is very inexpensive, and it's not hugely strong in the first place. Since wear could cause it to break, they just throw it away. If you're lucky, you get some useful rope for free.

I used to heat with wood, too, and I had a couple of tree services who would drop off at my house when they removed trees. I loved it. I had a power splitter, so it wasn't too hard to split. I don't think I ever paid for firewood. Another guy built fences for people. He dropped off old wooden fence posts and boards at my place. I burned the posts and split the boards for kindling.
