lot clearing advice

[Kneejerk Bombas]

That's great if it's a one time deal for a homeowner, but for a land clearing contractor, pushing trees over with heavy equipment and getting it all full of dirt, creating huge piles of pushed over trees and stumps, begs the question, what happens to all this stuff?
Why is a stump attached to a tree, laying on it's side, easier to deal with than a stump securely in the ground, where it can be ground away?
Where are landfill costs for brush less than resale prices for wood chips?

Its illegal (in MI anyway) for yard waste to enter a sanitary landfill. It must be taken to a compost facility and ground.

And yes, trees are considered yard waste according to the MDEQ.

Hauled away to where?

To a stump dump, of course! Companies are starting to get huge tub grinders now, stump dumps can be bad because of what may one day happen to the land.
