Disposing of a diseased tree

Are there any restrictions on disposing a diseased tree? Can a tree surgeon remove a diseased tree that's already uprooted?

"In my opinion it's best to burn it... in a safe environment, of course.

There are farms and places that you can drop off the tree to that will do this... at a small cost.

Always clean your equipment and my trailer afterwards afterwards

"As long as there’s no TPO and doesn’t need to be reported. Or is unsafe to homeowner or public then yes can be removed.

Take pictures of the current state before continuing with works"
