Won't you be needing a waste carriers licence?
Chuck it in the back of a trailer and fly tip it

You use skips for green waste?? Finally red tape has worked in northern ireland and brought about a positive change. Now assuming its from a domestic property i can tip as much as i like at the councils yards for free, just pay my waste carriers license once a year for 140 quid.
Its a lot better than paying 70 quid per transit van load a few years ago.

i used to have a mate on the bins who would do hedges and stuff for a drink
we put 70 foot of 6 ft by ft privet into the back of his bin lorry in 20 minutes
well crushed and a bargain at £75
obviously he has long since been sacked for his extra curricular activity

Have you not got a council recycling depot near you?
If you're trade then you may have to pay but not as much as a skip?

you could hire a chipper and blow it back on the garden, thought your were going to try and get the dr.s on a contract.

Could you not get it all cut and put in some ton bags over the weekend, and then come in the week and pick the stuff up for ferrying to the council yard?

Why not start the job friday afternoon, and then start early on saturday morning. Should give you enough time to get it done
