Public Works chips brush once a week in September and October.  There are no specific days for chipping, as it depends on other priorities and the weather.

Here is what the Town will chip:

• branches up to 6″ in diameter
• the equivalent of  4′ high, 8′ wide and 12′ long amount of brush per occurrence
• trees only if their trunk is 6″ in diameter or less
• brush that is uniformly stacked, untangled and with cut ends facing the same direction
• brush that is separated from other material such as trash, yard waste or thorny plants
• smaller branches if left in a pail or similar container

Here is what won’t be chipped:

• anything over 6″ in diameter
• more than 4′ x 8′ x 12′ worth of brush at one time
• a tree (or any part of a tree) taken down, if the trunk is more than 6″ in diameter
• tree roots, stumps, root balls or logs
• brush that’s mixed with other material such as trash, yard waste or thorny plants
• material that results from the clearing of a lot
• any material resulting from someone who was paid to do the work (tree-cutting, tree-trimming, etc.)

If you have any questions or concerns about the Town’s chipping service, contact Cory Buske at 608-575-2369.
