City of Joplin schedules wood chip giveaways

(From the City of Joplin)

The City of Joplin will provide free wood chip giveaways on Friday, August 15 and Saturday, August 16. 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.

For more information, call the Joplin Recycling Coordinator at 417-624-0820, ext. 501.
