Questioned deciding on an unknown revenue number, warned against the 'I don't use it so I won't pay' logic, and cautioned that higher fees can lead to illegal dumping in ditches.

Agreed with Myers that the branch fee should go — it used to be free, and $30 for a pickup load adds up for property owners with many trees.
