Whenever possible, shredding, chipping and/or composting is a desirable alternative
to burning. Chippers and shredders can be rented by the day, week or month at your
neighborhood rental agencies. Composting can be successfully completed in your own
backyard with minimal investment for its great returns.
For more information on composting:
