For longer and thicker branches and brush, the City offers an on-demand chipper service. Residents can complete a service request for the City chipper crew to come to their house on the second and fourth Fridays of the month from mid-April through mid-October. Collection dates: April 12, April 26, May 10, May 24, June 14, June 28, July 12, July 26, Aug. 9, Aug. 23, Sept. 13, Sept. 27, Oct. 11. If the City receives a large amount of requests or inclement weather, collection may occur on the following Monday.

Scheduling chipper service allows the City to offer residents this amenity more cost-effectively than having crews drive throughout the entire community each week to seek out branches piled at the curb.

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 near the curb. Do not include vines, thorns, root balls, grass of any kind, and foreign materials such as metal, lumber, nails, wire, string, rope, or staples in chipper piles.

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.
