Chipper Service / Brush Pick-Up |
The Town of
Smyrna provides a curb-side chipper / brush pick-up service. This service is
free to all residents of Smyrna. The Streets Department runs the program. The Streets Department which is in the Public
Works Division explains that the program is operated with the following
guidelines:
1. The pile of brush must be left within four (4) feet of the edge of the road.
This allows the crew to have access to the debris without making a mess in the
resident’s yard.
2. The pile of brush must not be placed under trees, overhead wires or guy wires
so that our equipment can reach it without posing a danger to the operator.
3. The maximum diameter of limbs is six (6) inches. Anything thicker than this
will not be picked up.
4. The pile of brush can be no larger than ten (10) feet by ten (10) feet. If
you think you will have more than this, consider laying out one pile for now and
the other pile the next month.
5. The chipper cannot handle vines, loose leaves or root balls.
6. Do not include in your pile any building materials, plastic, metal, wire,
cardboard, paper or glass.
7. If you have hired a commercial tree service, have them haul off the debris.
In all likelihood, they are already billing you for it.
8. Leaves can be picked up. Simply put them in bio-degradable bags and leave
them at the edge of your yard. Loose leaves will not be picked up.
9. Do not put pile on
street. If an accident occurs as a result of this, the homeowner will be
liable for the damages.
10. There is no need to schedule a pickup. The town is divided into sections and
one section at a time is cleaned. The length of time between pick-ups varies
depending on the amount of debris in the different sections. Please keep in
mind that this is our busiest time of year.
*Note*
The chipper service is a free public service
for the residents and homeowners of Smyrna.
The Town of Smyrna will not pick up anything cut by
a "for profit" trimming or clearing service.
Any questions please call us.
