The City of Joplin will resume its free wood chip giveaways on Friday, July 18 and Saturday, July 19. The City will load wood chips from 8:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., weather permitting.
Bring a truck or trailer to the wood chip site, and City employees will use heavy equipment to load the wood chips for you. THIS FREE EVENT IS OPEN TO EVERYONE, REGARDLESS OF RESIDENCY. The wood chip site is located at 1702 North Schifferdecker Avenue, 6/10 (six tenths) of a mile north of the intersection of Belle Center Road, commonly known as Snow Ball Hill between Zora and Belle Center. Look for the sign and turn onto the driveway on the west side of Schifferdecker Avenue.
The chips are derived from many different trees that came down in the December 2013 ice storm. They are then mixed together during the grinding process.
The City will also open the tree limb drop-off site for free tree limb and brush drop-off on Saturday, July 19. The hours will be 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. This free drop-off service is for Joplin residents only and has no load limits. Please bring identification. Commercial contractors will not be allowed to drop off tree limbs. Leaves, grass clippings, trash, etc. will not be accepted.
The tree-limb drop-off site is also located at 1702 North Schifferdecker Avenue. This is a service for Joplin residents, and commercial haulers will not be allowed to drop off tree limbs.
