Us too. We have a dandy yard waste facility across town. They grind it all up and turn it into compost. There's a huge pile to use for free and they sell semi loads commercially. With the Emerald Ash Borer problem, all the usable tree trunks are sold to sawmills and the smaller stuff is cut into fire wood. (free as well to the citizens) and the sticks are chipped or ground for mulch and compost.
