Waste disposal without chipper or van?

[paradise]

Wondered if anyone here had ever done work without a big chipper or truck/van and if they had worked out a system for dealing with the waste. This would only be work on small trees so won't be getting rid of huge volumes, but would be scattered around a bit geographically. I can only think of something along the lines of having a man-with-van on speed dial but that requires finding someone really reliable - not sure how easy it would really be.

 

Any ideas?

why not get a skip in? I used to do this before i could drive and was operating out of the back of my mums nissan micra. I also used to ask a local farmer to drop off a trailer if he had one going spare and then he'd come and pick it up. I also hire a chipper and get it delivered and collected.

You're p***ing in the wind, mate.

 

Micro chipper?

 

Think someone on here has one....

try subbing it out,stack the brash and get some local arb worker to perhaps come chip it

[timtree81]

where about are you ?

[paradise]

I'm in London. If I had sufficient local contacts I might be able to do as you suggest timtree - but at the moment I wouldn't know anyone in the appropriate areas.

 

I've pondered the idea of a portable electric shredder and selling the merits of woodchip mulch and logpiles for conservation...

Electrical shedder? you'll struggle to chip anything with those!

if you've got a car get a towbar fitted and buy a trailer thats how i started doing the odd job on weekends, after a few years and a lot of graft worked my way up to a truck and chipper. the hardest and most expensive part of the job is getting rid off rubbish

work only on windy days and cut the pieces so small the only thing your left with is saw dust:lol:

 

sorry couldn't help more
