Wood chips heat Rice Lake schools in Wisconsin
In Rice Lake Wisconsin the local school district switched to burning wood chips to heat a fire building complex, after a River Country RC&D study found wood fuel feasible for several institutions. Local firms including Burnette Box Factory and Curtis’ garbage service expanded to supply 40 to 60 tons daily, with plans to service more businesses as the venture grows. Don Leach notes the shift followed the loss of a steam supplier and presented cost savings for the district.
