I already have a shredder, but unfortunately, a lot of the trimmings are
about 2 inches in Diameter and my shredder could not deal with either that
size or the quantity I manage to accumulate.

It seems to me a shame to abandon year round ease of cultivation for an
event which happens once a year.

I can't do anything but agree but the quantity of the waste is just too
much.

In that case, all I can do is suggest the route suggested by another
poster - make fewer raised beds and leave one area as a bonfire site.
