Don’t know what to do with all those tree branches in your yard after the last storm? Maybe the branches are from your last pruning work? However they came about, you can’t afford to leave those branches lying around. They are not just trip hazards; they can also make your yard look dirty.
If you did the pruning work to remove diseased branches, leaving them in your yard for too long may cause the disease to spread. Don’t know how to dispose of tree branches safely?
Hope’s trusted tree service will discuss the best options for getting rid of tree limbs in this post.
Rent a Woodchipper
Consider hiring a woodchipper if you have too many branches to dispose of. With a woodchipper, you can turn branches into smaller pieces. You can also choose to convert the branches to wood chips you can use later.
However, using a woodchipper to dispose of cut tree branches might be dangerous. It’s heavy-duty equipment, so there’s always a risk of injury if you haven’t used one before. It’s safer to hire a wood-chipping company to do the job for you (if you have enough tree branches to justify the expense).
Send the Tree Branches to a Receptive Landscaping Site
You probably haven’t thought of this before, but if you have any landscaping projects going on around you, the company might be willing to take tree branches. And they won’t have any issues with coming to your yard to pick them up.
This is one of the most eco-friendly tree branch disposal methods.
Sell the Branches to Firewood Companies
Firewood should be one of the first things that comes to mind when thinking about how to dispose of tree branches. If you have a fireplace, it makes sense to chop up the branches and store the wood for use in the winter months.
If you use a furnace for heating, you can sell the branches to firewood companies to convert them into firewood for their customers. However, selling the wood as a way of handling tree branch debris may not be practical if you don’t have enough wood or if the branches are not big enough.
Take Advantage of Your Local Curbside Pickup
Many municipalities will offer curbside pickup for tree branches and other green yard waste. Check with your local waste management team to see if they provide this service. If they do, find out their rules and regulations. Many of them have rules about bagging or bundling branches, days of the week for collections, etc.
Rent a Dumpster
For most people, renting a dumpster is the easiest method of proper tree branch removal. All you need to do is call a dumpster company and rent the right size from their collection. When the dumpster arrives, throw in the branches you want to dispose of and call the company to haul everything away.
This will save you the stress of carrying the branches from place to place. One good thing about renting a dumpster is that you can hold it for up to a week, so you won’t be in any rush to clear up the branches from your yard.
