The Chipper is scheduled for pick up two times a year: May and October. Please check the Village Newsletter or this website for specific dates. Tree limbs, branches, or brush cut to no more than 5 feet in length and placed in the yard waste container.Any brush or branches outside of the container must be cut down to 5 feet in length and bundled (use only twine or string) no greater than 2 feet in diameter. The chipper can accept tree branches up to 10 inches in diameter and at least 4 feet in length – remember, the chipper is designed to process large amounts of wood; therefore, the longer the better. Stack branches neatly in a long low pile on the parkway, with the cut end facing the curb. Remember, Public Works crews cannot pick up material on private property. The following items cannot be picked up: root balls & stumps; building materials; anything with nails, wire, bolts, or other foreign material. We cannot chip timbers or fencing; wreaths; or holiday trees with lights, decorations, or in bags. We also cannot chip grass, leaves, or any material placed in a box or garbage can. The chipper is not designed to process small plant material such as clippings from hedge trimmers or small branches under 2″ in diameter or root balls from dug up plants (this material should be placed in your “Green Monster”).
