Dealing with scrap materials in forestry and construction sites is no different from any other process: You want the job done as quickly and economically as possible. Transporting debris to a landfill may be an option, but recycling can be an attractive alternative if it is economically feasible. This is where processing debris on-site becomes attractive because it turns debris into a marketable commodity, such as mulch, compost, or biofuel.
Peterson Pacific Corp., Eugene, Ore., has made this type of work easier with its tracked mobile grinders. The series is used to grind a wide range of feedstock (usually pallets, railroad ties, and other waste wood); plants, tree trimmings, and other biodegradable waste; asphalt shingles; whole trees; and construction and demolition debris. This track-mounted waste recycler can maneuver over terrain too challenging for wheeled vehicles. This saves money because it can go where the work is, rather than having to bring the work to it.
