 Chipping to End the Last Week of October 

The branch chipping season will end for 2011 on October 31st and will resume in the Spring of 2012. Starting to be announced.  


Public Works crews will chip branches no longer than ten feet (10') in length and less than four inches (4") in diameter that residents have cut during the maintenance of their property at no charge to the residents. Branches should be stacked at the edge of the street, with the tips of the branches pointing toward the street.  Please be aware that no chipping will take place if the branches are wet due to the weather.

Public Works crews will NOT pick up tree trunks, stumps with dirt balls attached, full trees, or limbs larger than 4 inches in diameter.  Residents that have a private or commercial tree service cut their trees are required to have that service remove the limbs and branches from the property.  Any tree trunk, limb, branch or debris resulting from the cutting, trimming or removal of a tree on a public easement or on a right of way is considered to be on private property.

By special arrangement, larger limbs may be scheduled for pick up by Public Works at a fee prescribed in the Village of Justice Municipal Code Section
7-314. The minimum charge is $75 for the first 30 minutes or less and $10 for each additional 15 minute period (or any part thereof) past the initial 30 minutes.
