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.
