Careth Ltd offer a chipping service for woody garden waste, reducing the overall volume and creating a useful material which can be recycled as compost or spread out as a weed-reducing mulch. In a similar process, tree stumps can be reduced by grinding to below ground level, enabling garden re-development.

While not all garden materials are suitable for chipping, and not all chipped material is suitable for recycling as mulch, this process can reduce the quantity of garden waste dumped in landfill sites and provide a useful by-product.
