Default Hauling Uphill

For close to the cost of the container, you could rent a heavy duty
chipper/shredder that can handle everything up to a foot or more in
diameter... all that organic material would make great soil amendments. )

If any of the larger trees are hardwoods, consider putting up a sign for
free firewood.

Hi. We'll be cutting down trees, removing overgrown brush, etc. from
about 4000 sq. ft. of our downsloping lot. I've rented a large green
waste container, but can anyone suggest an efficient, cost-effective
way to get the stuff we cut uphill to the container at street level.
It's not possible to get any type of vehicle behind our house.

Right now, we're just thinking of putting as much as we can in either
boxes or heavy duty plastic bags, and having two people carry one of
these up, then repeat (and repeat...) I'll have two other guys
helping me. Thanks for any help.
