chip it
Most of those cheaper home owner models have a removable screen...take it out and run it through the machine. Put the screen back in and run it a second time and you got great mulch.....assuming you want to spend that much time doing it. I have a mackissic chipper/shredder with a 10hp motor and different size screens so I can "custom blend" my stuff. Depending on how much I've cut I do a cursory clean up making a garbage full of bark and other junk fit into a 5 gallon bucket. If I don't have a spot to be mulched, it goes on the grass clipping/compost pile. I also use it in my garden every time I put down grass clippings around the plants...evens out the greens-browns ratio.
