Residential Chipper Service
The City of Goodlettsville provides brush chipper service to assist residents who need to clear out or trim up brush, shrubs, small trees, etc. You do not have to call in to request this service. The chipper crew will pass through your area on a routine basis and will remove brush placed at the street. Normally, the chipper will be in your neighborhood once every 14 working days. This schedule, however, may be delayed following severe weather due to heavy chipping loads. If you would like to notify the department of the need for residential chipping service, please contact the Public Works Department at 859-2740 or email us. Please note that if you paid a contractor to trim for you, it is their responsibility to haul off the debris.
