City Chipper Service
The Public Works Department of the City of La Vergne, provides a chipper service all year to
the residents of the city free of charge.
Guidelines for the service are as follows:
- 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.
- The maximum diameter of the limbs is six(6) inches. Anything thicker than
that will not be picked up.
- The pile of brush can be no larger than three(3) 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 next month.
- The chipper cannot handle vines, loose leaves or root balls.
- Do not include in your pile the following: plastic, metal, wire, cardboard,
paper or glass.
- The City will not chip limbs that have been cut by a commercial trimming
service. The service should remove any debris generation by its operations.
There is no need to schedule a pickup. The Chipper service alternates between
the East and West sides of town each week. However, if debris has not been
picked up within three weeks, call the Public Works Department at 793-9891.
