Branch Chipping Services                                              April - October 2013  

Branch Chipping begins on the First Monday of the listed months, and continues until a complete route through the City has been completed.  For 2013, this service will be provided to residents April - October. 

NOTE: One route through the City will be done in each of the designated months.  

Branches should be placed on the curb by the first of the month to ensure pick up during that month. 

NOTE:  Due to the time required to provide this service to the entire City on a monthly basis, the crews will be unable to return to pick up branches that were not out for chipping when your street was completed for the month. 

We ask that you pile the branches parallel to the roadway (cut ends not facing the road) to assist our crews in their collection efforts as this increases efficiency and worker safety as they operate the chipping equipment. Please use caution and remain alert when driving near the chipping crews to keep our workers and yourself safe! 

NOTE:  Branches must not be larger than 10 inches in diameter.

REFUSE AND RECYCLING  

The City of Twinsburg has a contract with Waste Management for residential waste and recycle collection services, and they provide residents with containers for Trash and curbside Recycling at no cost to the residents.  Collection is every Tuesday between the hours of 7AM and 7PM. To ensure pick up, please have your containers curbside by 7:00AM on Tuesdays, but preferably not before 6:00PM on the evening prior.  Contact Waste Management directly at 1-866-797-9018 to request refuse and recycling containers.   

Holiday Schedule
The six holidays Waste Management honors are: New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. If your service day falls on or the day after one of these six holidays, you will be serviced one day later on Wednesday.
