Ideas to dispose of land clearing waste

I’ve given away a bunch of logs off clearing jobs. It’s easy to do this time of year.

Hardwood? yes
Pine? not easy

Anyone with wood outdoor boilers around you?

Why can’t you burn over 5”?

The cheapest option is to burn but that also takes the most time.

If you want fast, hire a 30 ton excavator to dig a big hole and bury everything. You can then rent a forestry mulcher to do final cleanup. Would probably be cheaper than hiring someone to haul away...around here at least.

In my area you need a CDL to haul over 10,000lbs truck and a CVOR and commercial insurance. $500/yr just to get your annual inspection done...not cheap anymore...even farm plates are now forced into annual inspections.

Seems like that would be a massive hole to bury all that and make all that land worthless to build anything at least near that hole because of decomposing wood for how many years

Yea I wouldn’t burry that mess. Where I live it usually isn’t possible to dig a hole that deep but my dad tried that about 20 years ago a few counties over where you actually can dig a big hole. That hole is probably still sinking as the wood rots. For a couple years it was settling a lot like several feet at a time. I would clear a bigger spot and just shove it all in the corner out of the way before I buried it.
