We had a bad ice strom here in KC back in 2001 or 02 and it took at least a month to get most of the crap picked up.
There were a number of big tub grinders around the metro area where you could take brush up to fair size trees and they would grind them up into mulch. Needless to say you could get quite a bit of free wood chip mulch for quite a while.
hopefully your neighbor will stay warm for a few years:-)

Most of what came down was branches.. some of them quite large from mature trees.
Remains to be seen if the damage was lethal to the trees.
Between Ike and this storm,,local tree service people have been busy all year.
