Found a cheap trick for hauling brush out of tight backyards

Last month I was working a job in a cramped city lot in Denver, couldn't get my truck within 50 feet of the pile. Grabbed a cheap plastic tarp from the hardware store and a rope, dragged it out faster than a wheelbarrow.

Tarp dragging is honestly one of those things you don't think about until you need it. I had a similar deal last fall with a big pile of branches after trimming some overgrown lilacs behind a fence. Got a heavy duty 8x10 tarp and tied the corners together, slid the whole thing across the grass to the curb in like 10 minutes. Way easier than loading a wheelbarrow and dumping it 20 times.

My tarp shredded after two hauls on some rough bark and left me with a bigger mess.
