NEW BRUSH CHIPPING POLICY

EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2006

The new brush chipping policy will start May 1, 2006.  The rules for chipping brush for the residents of the Town of Pearisburg will be as follows:

1.  Contractors that trim trees should remove all brush.

2.  The Town crew will give each household 45 minutes per month.

3.  Any pile of brush that cannot be chipped with in that time limit will be left for the next month or there will be a charge of $20.00 for every 15 minutes to complete the job.

4.  If any resident that chooses to have the town go over the 45-minute time limit you will need to make this arrangement by calling the Town Engineer.  The Town will bill you for the extra time spent.

If you have any questions on this matter call Rick Tawney, Town Engineer at 921-0340.

Weather and holidays may alter pick-up.

Christmas Tree Disposal

We will chip Christmas trees after the holiday season.  To make collection easier and more efficient we ask you to follow this rule.  When you take down the tree, place is at the curb with the trunk pointed towards the street.  This allows town workers to quickly dispose of the tree.  Town crews will come by and dispose of the tree.  The town will chip trees beginning the week after Christmas.  There is no fee for this service.
