My situation is different from yours, but I am equally as mad as you are. My local power company does a very good job of trimming limbs that are near their power lines. They do a very good job of chipping the limbs and hauling the chips away.
However, I have a high-voltage, tall-tower power line that is owned by the TVA that runs across my farm. About two years ago they decided that they needed to widen the right of way under the line. The literally cut down hundreds of trees (most small, many very large) along both sides of their right of way.
They then came in with a huge shredder to grind up the trees. It made a terrible mess! The shreds are three or four inches in diameter and some of them are four or five feet long. They did not remove any of the shreds from my farm. They just left them lying on the ground.
I fussed and fussed and fussed at the right of way guy, but he basically told me to shut up - he wasn't going to do anything more.
It will take 10 or more years for the shredded trees to deteriorate. In the meantime, my cows are restricted as to where they can walk, and I can't even begin to do any brush hogging over the residue.
