  • Only tree branches longer than four feet and less than 6 inches in diameter will be chipped.
  • There must not be any debris or roots mixed with the branches. 
  • Tree branches for chipping should be in a neat, uniform pile between the sidewalk and curb or close to the road where there are no sidewalks. All branches must be stacked with the butt ends of the branches facing the street. Due to the hazardous condition involved in the operation of the chipper, residents will be advised to re-stack branches if not stacked properly and chipping service will be rescheduled for a later date.
