Well chippers are pretty expensive… the insurance for a company that runs a chipper is fucking ridiculous, you also need a dump truck with a chipper box, etc.
I don’t know about $100,000,000 but I know its not cheap to run these operations, especially when they are in from other states, and they need to take care of hotels, food, overtime, travel expenses and more for these companies. There are only so many chippers in the city.
