A guy that helps me at times clean up downed trees for the wood told about a time where he agreed to cut up some trees for the wood for a woman in our area. He burns wood almost exclusively to heat his place, a bit ironic since he's in the heating/cooling business, so he doesn't turn down the chance to get some. She wanted all the chain saw chips cleaned up and the small sticks raked up, she told him this after he was about done. He said he was out lawn raking and vacuuming the field where the tree fell. Did it because she is a good customer otherwise and refers others to use his business. But it was the last time he ever did that kind of work for her. I know her and she is a nasty piece of work, I told him I wouldn't pee on her if she was on fire.
Bryce, I think you have some good advice given in this post. Tell the lady you don't need the wood but would clean it up for a price. Make sure you cover your out of pocket costs and a resonable rate for your labor and something for the wear and tear on your equipment. Otherwise she can call someone else or a tree service.
