How do I request wood chips?: Wood chips are available to residents at no charge. To obtain a truck load, call 563-1177. These shredded tree limbs will be brought to your residence and placed in your driveway. PLEASE NOTE: These wood chips are not mulch; they are a combination of softwood, hardwood, sticker bushes, evergreens and vines, and they are not suitable for mulching around trees, shrubs, flowers or any other plant beds. The wood chips, if fresh, could take nutrients from the soil and discolor or even kill the plants. These wood chips can, however, be used for pathways or to cover non-growing areas.
