Chipping of Branches

Chipping:

  • Begins first Monday of each month, January through December.
  • Branches must be 4 foot or longer and placed at the curb (not in the street) in a neat manner with everything facing the same direction
  • Branches should be put out no sooner than the weekend before the date of scheduled pickup
  • Branches may not be left in the street due to new state Stormwater Management rules
  • Root balls must be removed, bagged and placed in trash
  • Shrubs and branches shorter than 4 feet must be placed in trash, they will not be picked up by chipping crew
  • Contractors removing or trimming trees are responsible for disposal of all tree debris
  • We will not chip huge amounts for residents clearing lots
  • Branches cannot be mixed with trash or vines
