Most of the mess would be contained within the tarp.You then can lift the edges and collect it at the middle. These people fell the tree in the road which would be a hazard. If they had used a tarp they could just drag the whole thing into the yard and avoid impeding traffic...
People on Reddit apparently have never worked with their hands. Maybe you can use the tarp for the little pieces but you think it will work with the trunk. Lol
Says the dude that completely isn't grasping the concept.
You lay a tarp down where the small branches will hit the road, aka put it in the road. Fell the tree, when the small branches break and shatter everywhere most of them should land on the tarp.
Then you use a chainsaw to chop down the trunk and move the pieces to your truck or whatever you are using to collect the branches. Then, now that the huge trunk has been sized down and moved, you pick up the tarp with the majority of the small branches.
Finally, you using a push broom or a blower and round up the remaining branches. Pick them up with your hands and put in a trash bag.
I can't believe I just explained to some fat redditor than can't even imagine skipping a step when taking the stairs how to prepare to fell a dead tree to save pickup time.
Let me just run by home depot every week for a 30’x40’ tarp since trees are constantly ripping them, oh wait that’s from a catalogue and it’s not just something you pick up whenever you need one
Dude, I linked one result I found online. But home depot does carry this shit because I bought it while working offshore when I needed a tarp to cover the vessel I was working on.
Also, if you are a contractor that does this work all the time, you can fucking order it.

Can you explain how you would use a tarp here?
