the cut ends toward the road. This makes the pile easier to pull apart to feed the chipper.

• Individual cut pieces must not be thicker than 8” in diameter.
• Stack similar sized items together in piles. Please pile items by hand.
• Debris should not be blocking any traffic.
• Limit to 10 cubic yards per land owner

NOT ALLOWED:
