Chipper Service is provided to Millersville residents for the purpose of removing tree limbs from your yard that have blown down in a storm or from minor tree and shrub trimming.
The limbs must be stacked at the road with the ends pointing in the same direction, toward the road. Limbs must not exceed 6″ in diameter and should be cut to a manageable size. The city does not remove tree trunks or stumps. The root ball from pulled up shrubs may damage the chipping equipment and will not be picked up.
Call 859-0880 to place a work order for the chipper service. Please keep in mind that this service does not run on a weekly basis. Our goal is to have the service in all areas of the city at least once per month. It may be several weeks before the chipper truck is back in your area.
Note: The service is not intended for the removal of limbs and trunks resulting from major pruning of trees and the city will not chip debris cut by landscaping crews. Tree, debris and stump removal businesses are available for major needs. In fairness to all taxpayers, the city may limit the amount of chipping at a residence, regardless of who cut the limbs. Removal of fallen trees may be covered under your homeowner’s insurance policy.
