Service Details
The City of Plymouth provides a brush chipping service for all city residents. This is at no additional cost to residents and is used as a way to dispose of a few limbs that residents have trimmed from their yard.

These services are not available to tree removal or trimming contractors.

This is a year round service designed to pick up larger limbs and branches. The schedule is as follows: 

• If your address is in area A, municipal services crews will be in your area the first full week of the month.
• If your address is in area B, municipal services crews will be in your area the second full week of the month.
• If your address is in area C, municipal services crews will be in your area the third full week of the month.
• If your address is in area D, Municipal Services crews will be in your area the fourth full week of the month.
