Chipping of Branches
Chipping:
- Mandatory rules- summary:
- No more than 4 cubic yards may be placed out at one time
- No brush/chipping may be placed in the street
- Branches MUST be 4 foot or longer and stacked with ends facing the same direction; unmanageable piles of chipping will not be chipped; no leaves or vines may be mixed in the pile
- Short branches and stalks should be placed in your trash
- 4 cubic yards is the maximum amount that we will chip for any homeowner at any one time. This is a roughly a pile that is 6' wide, 6' long and 3' high.
- We DO NOT chip brush and limbs where residents have cleared their lots or cut down trees. You must make arrangements with a tree service to dispose of the limbs or use a truck to take to the landfill when you have over 4 cubic yards.
- Chipping begins the first Monday of each month, January through December. The chipping crew makes one complete rotation of the township. Some months it takes 2 weeks or longer to do a complete rotation. Please be patient.
- 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 must be tied or in paper/plastic bags. They cannot be placed out loose in trash cans. They will not be picked up by chipping crew.
- Contractors removing or trimming trees are responsible for disposal of all tree debris
- Again, we will not chip huge amounts for residents clearing lots
- Branches cannot be mixed with trash or vines.
- If there is something wrong with your chipping, it will be marked with an orange sticker telling you what is wrong.
