City of Joplin to open tree limb disposal for residents


(From the City of Joplin)

As residents work on their fall outdoor chores, the City reminds them that the monthly tree limb drop-off program is open on Friday, October 20 and Saturday, October 21 for them to bring their limbs and branches.
 
The site will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is located at 1702 North Schifferdecker Avenue, approximately six-tenths of a mile north of Belle Center Road on the west side of Schifferdecker Avenue. This free drop-off service is for Joplin residents only. Professional contractors will not be allowed to dump.








This is the last month of this regularly scheduled service offered every third Saturday and the Friday preceding the third Saturday from March through October. This is the last scheduled drop-off weekend for 2023. The City may open this site following a weather event for residents to dispose of branches. Announcements of these openings are announced through local news stations, the City’s website and the City’s Facebook page.

Joplin residents should also note that the City’s residential trash service through Republic Services allows yard waste removal on their regular trash pick-up day. 








Limbs must be cut to a maximum of four (4) feet and bundled. Bundles shall be no heavier than 50 pounds. The diameter of each tree limb shall be no larger than four (4) inches.

Please contact the Recycling Coordinator at 417-624-0820, ext. 1501 with any questions about the site drop-off. For questions about curbside pickup, contact Republic Services at 800-431-1507.
