April - November
The brush chipping team completes monthly chipping routes, rotating through the city on a four-week cycle. Map and additional directives are located on the menu above.
Brush piles should be at the curb by 6am on the Monday of your week and must be stacked per the requirements.
Stacking requirements:
Please ensure the branches have cut ends facing the street, a maximum diameter of 6 inches and a MINIMUM length of four feet.  Please do not block a sidewalk, stack parallel to curb if necessary. No grass, stumps, fabric, rocks or debris may be mixed in with the branches. 

The City does not pick up piles of "twigs" or branches less than 4 feet in length - please deliver to the Yard Waste Site.

December - March
Please call the Street Department at 920-262-4080 or email streets@watertownwi.gov to be added to the Winter Chipper List. The crew is sent out when we have enough brush to chip and weather is cooperative- freezing temperatures could freeze the branches to the boulevard. As always, stacking and sizing requirements (below) apply.
