On-Site Burn Box Services
Efficient, Clean Debris Disposal for Restoration & Waterway Projects
At MTM, we offer on-site burn box solutions for clients who require efficient, environmentally responsible disposal of woody debris, brush, and vegetative waste. Our burn box technology delivers a cleaner, safer, and more controlled alternative to open burning—perfect for stream and habitat restoration, logjam removal, and waterway maintenance projects.
How Burn Boxes Work
High-Efficiency Combustion
Burn boxes use refractory-lined steel chambers and controlled airflow to achieve high combustion temperatures. This results in a more complete burn, dramatically reducing smoke, particulate emissions, and environmental impact compared to open piles.
Portable & Flexible
Our burn boxes are designed to be transported directly to your project site, whether it's a remote riverbank, bridge crossing, or restoration area. They're quickly set up and can handle a variety of wood waste, including tree trunks, branches, root balls, and storm debris—even if the material is wet or freshly cut.
Minimal Residue, Beneficial Byproducts
The process produces minimal ash and biochar, which can be used as a soil amendment to improve site restoration outcomes.
Use Cases for Burn Box Services
Stream & River Restoration
Clean up and dispose of woody debris, invasive species, and logjams removed during restoration, without hauling material off-site or risking uncontrolled burns.
Vegetation Management
Safely eliminate brush, trimmings, and tree waste from dam and bridge maintenance, preserving access and minimizing fire risk.
Disaster Cleanup
Rapidly process storm debris and downed trees after floods or severe weather events, reducing landfill use and site disturbance.
Invasive Species Control
Destroy pest- or disease-infested wood (such as beetle-killed trees) on-site, preventing spread and complying with regulatory best practices.
