Abstract
A wood chip collection system having a stump grinding wheel, a chip chute and a chip collection bin. The chute is positioned such that chips generated by the rotation of the wheel when engaged in a stump will be directed into the chute. The chute, in turn is sized and shaped to permit the energy in the chips to move the chips into a collection bin. The bin is positioned adjacent to and in alignment with the trailing edge of the chute in order to effectively receive the chips.
