Getting rid of waste from clearing land

Eoghan89

Hi,

Just cleared approx 1/2 arch of land which was mix of ditch, bushes and trees. Now I've got a pile approx 20ft high and 30ft wide to get rid of. Anyone any suggestions what's best to do? The person to cleared land with machine said just get permit from council and burn it after few months when it drys up.
Is there any companies that remove this sort of stuff or will I just have to burn it.

Thanks

Seems a waste to make a bonfire of a goodly amount of wood much of which would be useful to dozens of folks who have drying-sheds and would use this when properly seasoned, and would collect. Even cut hedgerow is useful to bulk out boundry-ditches or coppice. Where are you located?

Based in North County Dublin. Might stick up on adverts see if anyone would want to cut any fire wood out of it. Just don't have the time myself still a lot of work I've left to do on house and garden.

If its on private property, i.e. your own house, then you run an enormous insurance risk problem if some chainsaw-wielding Rambo slices off his jolly roger while on your property.
Likewise I don't believe you will get a licence from FCC to burn it.

What size are the biggest pieces, maybe you could get it shredded.

Wish I was near enough to collect (Mayo!!) for use in my own sculptures. You should find a recipient for your woodpile with a logging-licence, chain-saw and experience on Boards "Farming & Forestry" thread and of course, as Calahonda notes, ensure you are dealing with someone who is competent and insured.

I contacted council already they just said fill out form and pay €25 fee.
Sheddar would be option as nothing really bigger than say 5 inch but problrm is ud have to hand feel it in and it's a huge pile.
