Wintertime "yard work"

With the heavy snow we have had in the Northeast recently, we have some big branches that have broken off trees.

I never thought of this before, but what do you do with these?  No way am I willing to put these in the garbage, but I guess I will have to put them somewhere in the yard so I can wait until spring for the town to take them when they start yard waste pickup?

Re: Wintertime "yard work"

  • I would just break them up and put them in my yard waste, but we have yard waste pickup every week year-round (its also our compost). You could also break them up and put them under/behind shrubbery, etc, to naturally decompost and eventually return their nutrients to your own ground.

  • You may be able to drop them off at the waste processing facility year round, even though there is no pickup of yardwaste in winter.  Maybe their website or recording offers some information.

  • We're in the NE too. We drag the big branches to our log pile area, or run trips to the "dump" aka recyc facility. I've been out there after all these snow storms removing snow from evergreen limbs, I hate to see them go. We've lost some big ones this year.
