Sustainable Tree Disposal Starts Here
Managing tree debris after removal, trimming, or land clearing doesn’t have to mean waste, or pollution. At McKay Tree Service, we operate a dedicated vegetation landfill that provides a responsible, licensed, and efficient solution for disposing of organic wood waste.
Whether you’re a homeowner, contractor, or municipality with tree debris to manage, our wood waste disposal site in Habersham County is equipped to handle it safely and cleanly, with minimal environmental impact.
What is a Vegetation Landfill?
A vegetation landfill is a designated site for disposing of tree-related organic materials. This includes everything from tree limbs, stumps, and logs to clean lumber and brush.
Unlike general landfills, our facility is purpose-built for tree recycling and vegetation disposal, using EPA-approved technology that makes the process cleaner and significantly more efficient.
What We Accept
At our Habersham County location, we accept a wide range of clean wood waste, including:
- Tree trunks and limbs
- Brush and woody debris
- Stumps (free of soil)
- Clean, untreated lumber
- Land clearing waste
- Wood chips and mulch byproduct
Please note: We do not accept painted, treated, or contaminated wood products. Only natural, organic materials are permitted.
AirBurner Technology – Fast, Clean, EPA-Approved
Our vegetation landfill uses an EPA-approved AirBurner system, which is a major step up from traditional open burning.
- Burns wood debris up to 40 times faster than open air burns
- Produces significantly less smoke and particulate matter
- Meets environmental and air quality regulations
- Leaves behind natural biochar, which can be used to improve soil health
This advanced system allows us to dispose of large volumes of material quickly, responsibly, and with a smaller carbon footprint.
Why It Matters: The Case for Responsible Tree Recycling
Tree care generates a lot of debris. Without proper disposal options, that wood waste can pile up, causing environmental hazards and wasted space.
Our vegetation landfill and tree recycling site offers a smarter alternative:
- Reduces illegal dumping and backyard burns
- Protects local air quality
- Supports local contractors and property owners
- Encourages sustainable forestry and land care
By choosing a licensed and permitted landfill, you’re not just clearing space—you’re doing it the right way.
