The City of Dublin

Curbside Chipper Service

The City of Dublin's Chipper Program helps residents dispose of tree and shrub trimmings.

The city will bring the Chipper machine to private residences with a house number and remove tree and shrub trimmings subject to the following established regulations:

• Tree and shrub clippings only. NO VINES. Clippings which include vines will not be picked up.

• Trees and bushes with roots cannot go through the chipper machine. Roots must be cut off and processed through other composting programs.

• No FIREWOOD, lumber, boards, wire or other debris.

• All trimmings must be piled within 6’ of the curb or at the end of the driveway. Trimming piles should be piled neatly with the cutoff ends pointed towards the street. City equipment and employees will not come on private property to remove trimmings.

• Clippings should not be piled near mailboxes, fire hydrants or parked cars, as they may scratch the cars. Clippings deemed too close to parked cars will not be picked up.

• The machine will accept branches with a maximum diameter of 8".

• The longer the trimmings are the easier it is for the City crews to remove them, therefore there is no maximum length. However trimmings should be at least 4' in length.

• The amount of clippings which will be picked up will be limited to one truck load per day per residence. Citizens with excessive amounts of clippings should make other arrangements.

• City employees will not leave mulch at residences.

Call ahead scheduling is not mandatory, but is highly encouraged to ensure prompt pick-up within 1-7 days.  Please call the Hot Line at 614-410-4780 (24 hours per day) and state your name, address, and day time phone number at the prompts.
