When a very devastating wind storm blew through the City of Duluth in the summer of 2016, during the height of tourist season, it also affected a great deal of the City’s boulevard, park and homeowner’s trees. The City of Duluth jumped immediately into action and started clearing the roads and City parks and assisted the thousands of citizens who also lost trees and needed a place to haul them to. The City’s Parks Department set up two disposal sites to allow homeowners and City workers to dump the storm damage tree debris. Tens of thousands of yards of tree debris were hauled into these sites totaling well over 250,000 cubic yards of material. Sylvester Custom Grinding was contracted by the City to grind up all of this material into 4” mulch and haul it to the MN Power Biomass Wood-burning Co-generation Plant that is co-owned by the City of Duluth. The City was able to re-coop most of the funds spent on this project from the money they received from the finished mulch product being sold to the MN Power Plant.
