Dealing With Waste Question

[TIMON]

We have an ongoing conundrum with regards to a large accumulation of various landscaping waste, I.e non-arb green waste, cuttings, clippings, roots. Fencing waste, old fence posts, panels, old sheds from clearance jobs etc...

 

Currently our yard is full of this stuff, which we get rid of by grab loader.

We have around 20-30 grab loaders worth to shift..

Can anyone recommend a cheaper, more efficient way of disposing of this..

would it be worth hiring a shredder that can cope with waste timber (nails & screws etc..) firing it into 40 yard roll on off skips?, and would the extra process/man power and machine hire be worth it?

 

Particularly interesting in hearing from people who have been down this route before.

 

Thanks in advance.

Everyone’s going to say a fire, starting with me. Hire an air burner if you’re feeling posh. Do it when the council aren’t working if you’re feeling realistic.

Have you seen the machines which deal with the green waste at dechetteries?
Could probably do the lot in a day.

What do you currently do with your chip, and how much do you produce? Would it be viable long-term to get a shredder for this unchippable waste stream and mix it in with the chip?

The chip we produce from tree work (which isn’t a lot now we have downsized) goes to a nearby free site, put through a trommel as biomass, probably for power stations.

Probably 10% of our waste is chip-able.

A guy up here who own's a saw mill just bought a TW s426 shredder for pallets and stuff with nails in it, works for him.

Guy has 300+ ton and you give him a shredder to use 🤣 Most grabs are 16 ton min with a payload of 14 ton x 20-30 loads.
