Chipping of limbs and branches is one of the most appreciated town services. Here are a few guidelines:
- Chipping begins the Monday of the first full week of the month.
- If you have a tree removal service or a landscaper, they should remove the brush.
- The Town will not take more than one pick-up load of brush. They will leave the excess.
- No more than ten bags or cans will be taken.
- Loose materials must be in bags or cans. They will not be taken outside of a can or bag.
- Please consider putting loose materials (leaves, etc.) in waste cans or paper bags. We want to avoid placing greenery inside plastic bags.
- We will not take limbs more than 6 inches in diameter.
- Please place the cut ends toward the street.
- Cut the length down to no more than 6-8 feet. This is a safety precaution with the chipper.
- We will not remove any bag weighing more than 40 pounds.
It is the sole discretion of the Public Works employees performing the service if they remove the brush; it may be too large a pile, materials other than the brush could be in a pile, the bags may weigh too much, or for any reason, he or she deems necessary.
