Where can you dispose of tree trunks?
Who falls in his garden a larger tree, gets in terms of disposal quickly a problem. Tree trunks and stumps as well as branches and roots with a diameter of more than 15 centimeters may not be picked up with the green waste or taken to the local recycling center. So what options do you have to get rid of the wood legally?
For fireplace owners: shred and use as firewood
The obvious solution is to shred tree and roots (leaving them and the stump in the ground) and to use them as firewood in the fireplace. Of course, this means a lot of sweaty work depending on the size and moving of the tree, but it can be simplified with the right equipment. The wood can be first chopped with a chainsaw and a circular saw, then chopped into logs with an ax. Even if you do not have a fireplace: In each garden fits a small fireplace for a campfire, for example in a fire bowl or a fire basket.
Instead of disposal: use tree trunk for garden design
Furthermore, tree trunks and trunks can also be used wonderfully for further garden design as well as for larger garden projects. For example, you can hollow out the stump remaining in the soil and use it as a planter, plant planters on it, grow it with vine plants, turn it into a table ... there are lots of great ideas and suggestions here. The tree trunk in turn is suitable for supporting a patio roof, jacked up as a quaint bench or sawn as a rustic piece of furniture.
Dispose of tree trunks: composting plant, container service
If you still want or need to get rid of the wood: look for a composting plant near you. These usually like larger pieces of wood, if you can deliver them yourself. If this is not possible, ask a container service (keyword: waste disposal).
Tips
Ask neighbors, friends, relatives and acquaintances: Maybe someone is here, who is happy about wood for heating or processing? You can also make a notice on the bulletin board of the local supermarket or advertise in the classifieds.
