If you get a regular supply, a good way to make use of it is: dig out your paths to about 9" deep, then fill right up with the wood chip. Over winter, they will rot down a fair bit. In summer, once plants are growing well, scoop out the rotted wood chip and add to the surface of the beds around plants. Refill the paths with fresh wood chip. Repeat every year. Works well with no-dig beds, or can be dug in at the end of the season.
The only down side is that chippings may contain diseased material, but personally I've not had any trouble in that respect.
