Ak86Roth Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Hi! Due to the strong winds this week, our back-garden tree partially came down and we've begun the process of dismantling it. There is alot of waste from that dismantling. It's just lying around atm and would be great if there is an organisation that might be able to pick up these branches etc and dispose of it? I've tried to break some of the smaller branches down and put into our green bin alongside any leaves etc but there are more bigger branches that won't disappear! I don't know what would be done from an environmental side of things, recycling plants for these types of waste? Not an expert, as you can see! Advice appreciated.

mart Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 My first thoughts are get a bow saw (they are very sharp, not expensive and easy to use-like a hot knife through butter) and cut the thicker parts in to manageble size lengths. Then, either offer them on here as free logs, or take them to the dump site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ak86Roth Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 ^Thank you. The branches aren't as thick as logs (might put up a picture tomorrow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboy Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 You could put the branches through a chipper and put the chippings back on your garden. this is putting the goodness back into your soil and helps keep the weeds down.

Chez2 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The process of decomposition will remove nitrogen from the soil. Its okay if you are aware of this and want it as a mulch. If not, rot it down before putting it on your garden. Only once its well rotted will it add nutrients to the soil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBiz Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 It sounds like you need to pay someone to remove this stuff. From you're description the debris isn't worth anything. Whereabouts are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez2 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Cut it up , and sell it as fuel I wouldn't have thought it was worth obtaining product liability insurance for this, not for a few bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggidee Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 just cut it into 2ft lenghs and stack in the corners of your garden, or just lay them under bushes on bare soil and they will rot down and the insect life will hide under them for winter, you could put the odd one in you bin every week, but better to just let them rot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
