Curbside Chipping
Household chipping is done, on average, one week per month. All chipping should be put out curbside and with butt ends out. The Township will chip brush up to 6" in diameter; anything bigger can be taken to the transfer station. The Township will not chip brush if trash / debris is found in brush or if the work done was completed by a contractor or if the work being completed is lot clearning. This service is for the residents and done at the discretion of the Public Works Department. If there are any questions on this matter, contact the Public Works Department.
