However, it's not the great solution one might assume.

It would be for branches, because heavy-duty equipment is needed to break them down into small pieces.

So why go through all that? Just cut out the middle man and compost the leaves without driving them all over the place.

I did a study about 5 years ago and found the cost of this to be over a million per town in my county.

Stupid way to spend money.

Oh, and did I mention my property taxes are $16,500 a year on an ordinary middle-income house?
