Welcome to Heritage Tree Recycling

At Heritage Tree Recycling, we transform tree waste into lasting environmental value. Our mission is to recycle tree debris and convert it into high-quality biochar—a powerful, natural material that restores and enriches the land.

Our biochar products support:

• 🌱 Farms and gardens: Improve soil fertility, water retention, and microbial health

• 🌿 Landscapes and lawns: Enhance resilience and reduce the need for chemical inputs

• 🌪️ Storm-damaged soils: Accelerate recovery and reduce erosion

• ♻️ Carbon sequestration: Lock carbon in the soil for centuries, helping combat climate change



Features

Eco-Friendly Recycling

At Heritage Tree Recycling, we believe in giving tree waste a second life. Our eco-friendly recycling process transforms unwanted tree debris into valuable biochar and mulch, helping to reduce landfill waste and promote sustainability in our community.

High-Quality Biochar and Mulch

 Biochar and mulch are powerful allies for healthy soil. Biochar improves soil structure, boosts microbial life, and locks in nutrients and carbon for the long term. Mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect soil from erosion. Together, they create a thriving, resilient environment for plants to grow.  They are two essential ingredients for restoring damaged soil.


Convenient Services

Heritage Tree Recycling is committed to supporting the needs of all customers  having unwanted tree debris or needing biochar and mulch from foresters to farmers to developers to landscapers to homeowners.  We can manage all aspects of the process, from gathering and transporting unwanted tree debris, transforming debris into valuable biochar and mulch and delivery to your farm or garden.

Community Commitment

We started Heritage Tree Recycling  to help our local area recover from Hurricane Helene by removing unwanted debris and helping repair damaged soils and then evolve the management of tree waste, farms and gardens to a more sustainable model.  By choosing our services, you're not just recycling; you're contributing to a greener future and helping to create a healthier environment for everyone.

Better Debris Management


When storms strike or trees come down, dealing with debris can feel overwhelming. At Heritage Tree Recycling, we make recovery simple and sustainable. Here’s how:

Fewer Steps, Faster Results

Our process is streamlined—no complicated handling or multiple stages. We turn tree waste directly into something valuable.

Big Reduction in Volume

Instead of bulky mulch piles, our approach reduces tree debris by nearly three times more than traditional methods. That means less space taken up and easier cleanup.

Essential for Farm Recovery

After severe weather, restoring soil health is critical. Our biochar helps farms bounce back by improving soil structure and fertility.

A Valuable End Product

We’re not just getting rid of waste—we’re creating a product that enriches soil, retains water, and supports healthy plant growth.

Portable and Marketable

Because biochar is lightweight and high-value, it can be sold beyond the local region, turning storm debris into an economic opportunity.

No Burning, No Smoke

Forget the old practice of burning mulch piles. Our method avoids harmful emissions and keeps the air clean.




Building a Network for Sustainable Growth

At Heritage Tree Recycling, we’re more than a single business—we’re part of a network of small to midsize companies working together to turn tree waste into opportunity. This collaboration creates jobs, strengthens local economies, and supports a cleaner, greener future.



Our ecosystem includes:

• Foresters and Loggers – harvesting and managing timber responsibly

• Grinders and Truckers – processing and transporting materials efficiently

• Composters, Bagging & Processing Teams – preparing products for farms and landscapes

• Biochar Producers and Sales Experts – creating and distributing high-value soil amendments

• Logistics and Administration – keeping everything running smoothly

✅ Downstream Impact

This network doesn’t stop at production. It fuels downstream businesses, from agriculture and landscaping to environmental restoration projects.

✅ Economic Benefits

Together, these partnerships generate significant direct and indirect employment, driving economic activity across Western Carolina. Eventually building a home to other biochar-related industries, creating a hub for innovation and sustainability in the Carolina Mountains.
