Maybe they sell it ?
Mixed Wood Chips go for around ~$30 per ton
TimberMart-South | South-wide Average Prices
about the same as mixed paper recycling.
Mixed paper products ~$30 / ton

One full mature tree can be up around ~10tons.
Even if it took 1 hr for a full tree worth .. which it doesn't take that long .. that would be about ~$300 per hour.
Or maybe it's both .. they get paid to do it .. and .. then they sell it.
