Shifting Brash

So recently I've had more enquires for domestic work where its a tree at the end of the ornate garden and all the bits have to be removed. Logs are easy to handle with barrows etc but does anyone have any hints/tips for brash? I've got a small/medium Leylandii to remove (about 30ft) but bulky as hell and the access size is a wheelbarrow/walkway so large dumpy bags are no good. I've got loads of the green waste dumpy bags 40x40x60 size which are great but I want to make life easier for the groundies if I can?

I'd go for the wee chipper option before the arb trolley if you had the choice. Much more efficient to Barrow out the chip than the brash. 

A wheelie bin takes a good bit of chip but is a pain to tip, I use a "standard" plastic wheel barrow with greedy boards for such jobs. Made the boards from a couple of supermarket stackable crates.

Have you thought about a wee chipper and chip into a wheelie bin? See it a few times on Instagram. Might make shifting it easier. Or crane and just lift it out.

It's not big enough for a crane, that's for sure and it's about a 80 yard walk back and forth. Not sure on the crane boom distance?
