County residents prepare for Free Chipper Day

POMEROY–Garfield County will host a free Chipper day for country residents at the old rock pit located off Gould City-Mayview Road on Saturday, April 13, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Each year, the county hosts a free chipper day for country residents where they can discard waste from outdoor spring cleaning such as clean yard and garden debris, pine needles, leaves, limbs, and small logs (up to 15 inches). Loads that contain a lot of dirt, rocks, root balls or anything over 15 inches in diameter will be turned away.

If you are bringing leaves and pine needles in garbage bags, please empty the bags and take the plastic home with you.
