Default Hauling Uphill

For hauling heavy loads in a wheelbarrow, like the wood part of the debris,
you can use two people. The front person slings a rope loop around the
wheel brace and pulls and the rear person uses the wheelbarrow normally. I
used this method for hauling concrete up a slope.

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.
