There's a website chipdrop.com that will help lots of people find chips in urban areas, but if your area isn't active on that service, just search for local arborists and give them a call. They typically have to pay to get rid of the branches they trim at the waste transfer staion and they're happy to find somebody that will take this "waste" for free.
If I had a few acres, I would establish a spot for the arborists to dump woodchips, and just tell them they are welcome any time. Then I'd ferry that all over my property a la "Back to Eden."

Only, I bought it in like 2010 and it had a useby date somewhere in 2012. It still looks completely fine though. Since' I'm generally not to finicky about older food and use my own smell and taste to determine if things are still edible, I'm feeling like eating it. But Miso is an aquired taste and my palate is not yet developed to the the stage to diffentiate between "mmm, strong" and "oy, off" flavours in miso. What I think of as mmm, might still be spoiled or gone bad and I might toss it due to strong flavours that are new to me, but not neccessarily bad.
So, can miso go bad?
