Chippers are small machines or tools used to break down larger pieces of wood into smaller chips. They are commonly used in landscaping, gardening, and forestry to manage waste from tree trimming or clearing. The resulting wood chips can be used for mulch, compost, or as a biomass fuel source. There are different types of chippers, including wood chippers and leaf chippers, each designed for specific materials. Wood chippers can handle branches and logs, while leaf chippers are more suited for soft, leafy materials. Both types help reduce the volume of organic waste, making disposal and recycling easier.
