It's Chipper Week!
Public Works will be driving the city’s chipper route this week. If you have limbs or logs for collection, please place them neatly by the curb before your service day.
Chipper Material Requirements:
- Items must be under 10 inches in diameter
- And no more than 24 inches in length
- Please stack everything neatly with cut ends facing the same direction.
Please note: Chipper Service is separate from regular yard waste collection. Yard waste is collected on your regular service day. Brown paper yard waste bags—available at most home improvement stores—are required, and Waste Management will collect up to ten (10) bags per week per residence.
Thank you for helping Public Works keep Lilburn looking its best!
