The city of Hazelwood has extended its Spring Limb Chipping Program for another two weeks until June 19 to assist local residents in clearing yard debris caused by recent storms, announced Tom Manning, Hazelwood’s director of public works.

Residents interested in getting rid of large limbs laying in their yard are being asked to
bring them to the curb and then contact the Street Maintenance Department to have them
picked up. For those with yard waste service provided by Veolia Environmental
Services, limbs up to four-feet in length and two inches or less in diameter can be
disposed of during regular trash and recycling pick-ups. They must be bundled together
in 18-inch bundles before they can be taken.

“The city of Hazelwood has offered this annual Spring Limb Chipping Program to
residents for close to 20 years,” said Manning. “Less than a dozen local municipalities
have a program of this nature. This can be attributed to the fact that since 1986,
Hazelwood has ranked among the top cities in the Greater St. Louis area for its assessed
valuation. Residents and businesses pay one of the lowest property tax rates in St. Louis
County. We’re proud of our low tax rate, particularly in comparison to the level of
services we provide for Hazelwood residents.”

For more information or to arrange limb pick-ups, call the Street Maintenance
Department at (314) 731-8701.
