Land Clearing and Fire Fuel Reduction

Biomass One can deploy industrial masticators to reduce fire fuel risk in wooded areas. Our equipment mechanically shreds and breaks down underbrush and dead vegetation, eliminating excess materials that could ignite and spread wildfires.

What kinds of projects is this equipment good for?

If you have a big problems with trees or brush, give us a buzz. Our industrial masticators can be highly useful in various applications, particularly in our region of Oregon where forestry and land management play significant roles. Here are a few types of jobs where such equipment would be beneficial:

  • Fire Break Creation: Utilizing masticators to clear vegetation and create fire breaks, reducing the spread of wildfires.

  • Forest Management: Managing and maintaining the health of forests by thinning dense undergrowth and removing diseased or pest-infested trees.

  • Trail and Road Maintenance: Clearing vegetation and debris for the creation and maintenance of trails, roads, and access paths in both public and private lands.

  • Ecosystem Restoration: Assisting in restoration projects aimed at bringing ecosystems back to their natural state by removing invasive species and promoting the growth of native plants.

  • Land Development: Preparing land for development projects, such as residential or commercial building, by clearing unwanted vegetation and obstacles.-

  • Agriculture and Farm Maintenance: Helping in clearing land for farming, managing orchards, and maintaining fence lines in agricultural areas.

  • Utility Line Maintenance: Clearing vegetation around utility lines to ensure safety and compliance with regulations, reducing the risk of outages and fires.

  • Logging Operations: Assisting in sustainable logging practices by clearing smaller growth to enable more efficient harvesting of timber.

  • Recreational Area Development and Maintenance: Employing masticators to create and maintain parks, campgrounds, and other recreational areas, ensuring that they remain accessible and enjoyable for the public.

Wood Waste Collection Bins

Biomass One has several wood waste storage bins that can be rented and placed on your property. Take a few days to load it up, and then we’ll haul it away.

 

  • Our bins are standard 35 yard bins, inside dimensions of 6′ high, 8′ wide, 22′ in length. The bin is open on top and also has double doors on the end for easier access and hand loading.

    Our program is for collection of clean wood debris. The material can range from shrub and tree limbs to pallets, wood shakes, discarded wood, construction debris, etc. (no berry vines).

  • The fees start at $180.00 and go on a sliding scale depending on the delivery location.

    A $75.00 refundable deposit required helps to guarantee only acceptable material will be placed in the bin.

    • When approval from our wood yard has been given your deposit will be refunded.

    • If the bin contains unacceptable materials you may loose a portion or all of your deposit.

    • If the bin is severely contaminated it will be diverted to the landfill with the charges passed on to you.

    • For a speedy return of your deposit, please issue a separate check, we will simply return your own check to you.

  • You may utilize a bin for up to five business days and incorporate a weekend for a one week rental. If you fill the bin sooner than expected you may call for an early pick up, we will certainly try to fit you into the dispatch schedule. Each additional bin is an additional fee. You need not be present at the time of the retrieval.

    Someone must be at the site when the bin is dropped (by appointment). At this time the driver will expect to collect both the fee and the refundable deposit. There is also a release form you will be asked to sign.

    We hope you will find our service useful and beneficial. All material brought in from the bin program goes to our wood debris recycling yard. It is then recycled into usable fuel for our wood fired boilers.
