Brush Chipping
Brush chipping is delayed until May, 2020.
Like many other non-essential services, we’ve had to delay the start of brush chipping. We had planned on beginning Tuesday, April 6th, but as of today, it has been pushed it back to Tuesday, May 4th. (date may change).
Brush Chipping will begin in April and the last chipping in October.
Chipping will begin on the 1st Tuesday of every month.
(weather permitting and township emergencies take priority)
Brush MUST be out before the 1st Tuesday of the month
The route may change each month.
Brush not put out in time will be left for the following month.
There is no list that you need to be put on.
10 minutes MAXIMUM per location
Nothing larger than a 4" diameter
Stacked neatly with all ends facing the road
Brush chipping begins in April and ends after the October brush chipping is complete.
