"Burning the tree trunks was seen as a cost-effective alternative to the previous method of grinding the dead trees into mulch and transporting it to the Larimer County Landfill."
“This is a more affordable solution as the problem grows larger,” said Zurn at the April Town board meeting when he made the request to purchase the burner. “The process of grinding, hauling and disposing of tree material after grinding will soon become cost prohibitive. The staff feels that the air curtain would pay for itself within the first two or three years.”
