I have several active provider chests near my base entrances as trashcans. I have also one trash car in my work train, in which I can put wood, stone, artifacts etc. when I have outdoor works. The trash car is automatically emptied to active provider chests.

Because I have no use for wood, I have requester chest near my steel furnaces. I use circuit to cut the coal input when there is wood in that chest, and put wood to fuel line. I have burned more than 300k woods during the game.

Place 10 requsters requesting wood.
Wait them to fill up, shoot them.
Dirty but it works.

The best thing to do w/ all that wood: Burn it, in your burner devices (or with the flamethrower if mining it is too tedious; not a problem once you get Construction Robots). I figured out how to design the input side of my fuel line to automatically prioritize fuels as I desired, so I make Wood priority #1 one I have Electric Distribution Mk1 researched (and hence no longer need Wood regularly for Small Electric Poles as I can just use Medium Poles instead).
