How it Works
City crews will chip your brush at your curbside. To ensure your brush is chipped quickly and safely, please follow these guidelines:
- Place brush neatly at the curb, stacked in all one direction.
- Place the cut ends facing towards oncoming traffic.
- Ensure limbs are at least 3 feet long – smaller sticks and twigs should be placed out for compost collection in a Kraft bag or can marked for compost.
- Keep limbs long – no need to cut into shorter pieces.
- Ensure brush pile is not taller than 5 feet tall.
- Clear root balls of all dirt.
- Limbs with thorns and vines or vine-like weeds cannot be chipped – place vines out for compost collection.
- Ensure vehicles are not blocking or parked too close to brush piles.
- Keep brush removed from any legal, marked parking space or fire hydrant.
- Keep brush separate from bulk leaf piles in the fall season.
- Diameter of each limb should not exceed 6 inches.
