Recycling of Household Pruning Branches

The city promotes the recycling of pruned branches by using a vehicle-mounted shredder to chip the branches, which are then used as weed suppressants in parks, thereby working to reduce waste.
When using the pruning branch chipping service, please follow the procedure steps below, contact the Living Environment Division in advance, and confirm the work site before bringing in your branches.

How to Use

1. Based on the schedule below, please contact the Living Environment Division by Friday morning of the week before the work date and confirm the work site.
   (At that time, please provide your address, name, phone number, the type of pruned branches, and the approximate quantity.)
2. Please be sure to remove the leaves before bringing them to the work site yourself between Saturday and Monday.
   ・Note: No work will be performed on days without an application.
   ・Note: Grass and similar waste discharged by Business Operators or households cannot be brought in.
