Green Waste Programs Suspended

The EDCFSC residential chipping and green waste programs have been suspended until further notice.

We regret that we will not be able to accept new requests for chipping or green waste dumpster service until we receive grant payments from the program grantor.

If you have recently submitted a request for chipping and have not yet been scheduled we can only offer these alternatives.

Continue to wait; we will contact you as soon as we have news.

Burn the material.

Make other arrangements to dispose of the material yourselves.

Requests for community green waste dumpster service that have already been approved will be scheduled, but no new applications will be accepted.
