Spurn the burn – Chip it instead

Turn branches and woody debris into great mulch for your yard instead of a smoky pyre that pollutes your home and lungs with fine particles and toxic chemicals. A chipper or shredder converts your yard waste into useful mulch - or the perfect compost pile. Equipment comes in a range of sizes for different yard and garden applications - or you can enlist professionals to do the work for you. Check out the variety of chippers available from home improvement stores, mass retailers and many online marketplaces. Or consult your local yellow pages for a listing of professional chipping services and companies that rent chipping equipment.
