Chipper Service

For longer and thicker branches and brush, the City offers an on-demand chipper service. Chipper service will run weekly on Mondays from April 13 through Sept. 24. Residents are required to submit a service request through Hilliard Helps for chipper service. Requests must be placed prior to 3 p.m. on the Friday before.

Please note: If a significant number of chipper service requests are submitted or if there’s inclement weather, the City may need to delay your service to the following Monday.

Before placing a service request, residents should place their large limbs and brush (more than 4 feet long and 4 inches in diameter) in the tree lawn, between the curb and sidewalk.

Acceptable chipper service items:

  • Limbs or brush greater than 4 feet long and/or 4 inches in diameter

Unacceptable items:

  • Leaves, grass clippings, shrubs, weeds and brush, and twigs and small branches are considered yard waste
  • Logs bigger than 10 inches in diameter
  • Cut firewood
  • Vines
  • Thorns
  • Root Balls
  • Grass of any kind
  • Foreign materials (metal, lumber, nails, wire, string, rope, or staples)

This service is great for storm damage and resident landscaping needs. Those with excessive amounts or who are unable to wait for their scheduled pick up should make other arrangements. (We recommend dropping off at Ohio Mulch or Kurtz Bros. Mulch and Soil). Commercial companies hired to cut down trees or clear areas are solely responsible for removal.
