Chipping Info

The Town of Woodway offers chipping service to all residents. The chipping service is offered at a rate of $84.00/hour billed in 15 minute increments. Chipping is done on the first and third Thursdays and must be requested before 7:00 a.m. on Thursday morning. The chipping schedule may change depending on demand.

Proper preparation of material to be chipped is necessary to facilitate chipping and to expedite the chipping process (saving you money). The Town's chipper is designed for chipping medium to large branches up to 10" diameter. Excessive small branches may clog the chipper's shoot, causing delays and additional billing.

The following requirement must be met:

• The chipping pile must be accessible by the Town's truck and
  chipper
• No rakings, rocks, dirt, stumps, nails, painted wood, metal, paper
  or other rubbish will be chipped
• No noxious weeds or excessive vines
• All "butt end" of braches must be placed in the pile towards the
  truck access point
• If piles overlap, material in the front of pile must be on top of
  material in back of pile or divide into separate piles
• Piles should be no taller than 5'

Improperly prepared piles may be refused.
Contact the Public Works Department for chipper availability and any questions.
