Around here they have gotten a grant to chip the stuff.  You might check 
with your county or state and see if anyone has a chipping contract.  It is 
usually a "reduction of fuel load" grant.  The service is free.  We got them 
out twice, as we cleared each area.  Will have them out again in the spring 
for the last 3 acres we are clearing of brush and scrub trees.
