(VIDEO!!) Watch your hands, kids...

Watch it shred: PRI-MAX vs. BMW

(Thanks, Boing Boing for the heads up. LINK)

Last year after Hurricane Wilma blew down nearly every tree here in Broward County, there was an obvious problem that needed an immediate solution: what to do with all of the vegetative debris that were literally the streets, clogging the canals and generally causing chaos?

(And I'm not even going to take into account the construction and miscellaneous debris, even though I personally hauled a hundred pounds of roof tiles out of my tiny patio.)

The solution they used last year was to burn the debris. Not the most environmentally-friendly means of disposal, but it had a pretty high reduction rate.

Check out the link and see how I think it should be done in the case (almighty being forbid!) that we get hit with another hurricane.

And if the machine eating the Beamer doesn't impress you, there are a number of other videos showing the beast at work here.
