Final Chipping Service
The final chipping service (of the year) is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, 2026.
The Borough will bring the chipper to your property to chip tree limbs, hedges, and bushes.
Requests are accepted no later than 12:00 PM the day before the scheduled chipping (September 8th). The request form page will be inaccessible from that time—NO EXCEPTIONS AFTER the Tuesday deadline. Please call #717-566-2555 to put in your request or follow this link: https://hummelstown.gov/index.asp...
Chipping is only available for brush cut by homeowners. This chipping service is not for contractors or anyone doing major lot clearing. Contractors are responsible for their own brush removal. Piles of brush can be 15 ft long, 4 ft high, and 4 ft wide. All branches should face in the same direction (no cross-stacking) with the blunt/cut end facing out. The crew will not enter yards and carry material to the chipper. Material must be placed along a street or alley where it can be placed directly into the chipper. Please have piles of brush set a day or two before the service. Do not place piles on the street
