Leylandii waste disposal

Hi there, We've just removed nine leylandiis that were once hedges, but had been left to grow into 15-20 ft (ish) trees by the previous owners. We've cut down and stacked up the branches, leaving us with a pile 5m across and 1m 50 'deep', and about 6ft high. One problem is that there is no rear access to our house. We were originally going to hire a small chipper for a week, and fill bags of chippings ready to take away, but I wonder if this is the best way to do it. Our hallway is small and narrow, at 73cms across, so the heavy duty chippers won't fit through the house, but the chipper below seems to be small enough: http://www.bestathire.co.uk/garden-tools/garden-clearance/garden-chipper-garden-shredder An alternative is to hire someone to do it for us, or hire a skip and put the branches straight into that. I don't like the idea of bringing branches through the house, as it is newly painted (white!) and is generally pristine! I'd be very grateful if anyone could suggest what might be the best thing to do. Thanks A & M
