Trees & hedges for rent

Rent a shredder: turn green waste into mulch

After cutting hedges and trees, branches pile up in the garden. A shredder quickly chops them into mulch or compost material and saves you trips to the green waste collection point. On Mietrix you can rent shredders from lessors in Lower Bavaria and the Upper Palatinate – from compact garden shredders to professional machines with a tow hitch. It is also known as a garden shredder, wood chipper or chipper.

Which model is right?

• Blade shredders work fast and are suitable for soft, green material such as leaves and thin twigs. However, they are loud.
• Roller shredders draw branches in by themselves, work quietly and handle branches up to about four centimetres.
• Professional shredders with petrol engines also process thick branches – ten centimetres and more, depending on the model.

The maximum branch diameter is the key figure. It is stated in the item description.

Shredding safely

• Wear safety goggles, ear protection and sturdy gloves.
• Only push branches in with the pusher, never by hand.
• Shred fresh material if possible, as dry branches are hard and strain the blades.
• In residential areas, such machines must not run on Sundays and public holidays, and on working days only from 7 am to 8 pm. Some municipalities have stricter rules.

For the cutting itself, you will also find hedge trimmers and chainsaws.
