I hope that was your own private woodland, In the woods I help manage we hate the dumping of garden rubbish, it introduces invasive species and organic matter and upsets the natural balance.
Actually I was trying to make it a community woodland with free compost if you bring your own bag. The farmer next door had all the proper toys. The shredder could do trees. The idea behind the community bit was to have more eyes out for the dumpers. Fortunately it wasn't much of a problem but school holidays were sometimes an issue as youths liked to camp out and occasionally left their rubbish.
I have also found out that it costs £85 not on direct debit but there is an app or something which gives 20% discount. It also gets confusing as some use a brown bin and others use a green one. I did note one council that had 11 various boxes and bins so it's not easy.
