^^^^ you will struggle to get on the feed out of a factory like that, as oil/gas/coal prices just keep going up more people are turning to wood. Anyone anywhere in the UK who has wood waste, no longer has to pay to take it away, people will happily que up for it!
Up here I forage for offcuts from forestry operations, they leave some bits & the flak to rott down to feed new growth etc, but where they load them onto wagons the machines leave hundreds of 2" to 30" discs of wood (mostly evergreen, but increasingly often, deciduous). evergreen's aren't great for burning as you need to season the hell out of them, and they tar up the stove & chim much more quickly. But its free and PLENTIFUL! Often even after I've been back to a location more times than I need to, I've barely made a dent in the piles of junk they leave :)
