Brush, Trimmings and Limb chipping is available to residents every-other Wednesday, occurring on the non-recycling weeks.
This service is for trimmings only. No full tree removal. Residents are asked to stack all trimmings with the large end facing the same direction. This allows for easier loading by our public works department. No dirt or root balls can be fed in to the chipper. Please remove any dirt or root balls prior to placing curbside. Limbs are not permitted to be larger than 6" (six inches) in circumference. To have your brush, trimmings and small tree limbs picked up, please call the City Garage at 724.527.4023. Leave a message with your address and the location of brush (front of home, side, back, etc.). |
