The Village of Medina chips branches from village owned trees following a wind storm or when a contractor hired by the village or our own men take down or trim village trees. In the past, when we had the extra time and extra manpower, we would send the chipper out to try and clean up branch debris around the village. Under Orleans County Taxes, Village of Medina residents pay to have branches picked up with their regular trash pick up as long as they are bundled in lengths of no more than 4 foot and weigh less than 40 pounds. When residents have a tree service come in and do trimming and take downs on their own property, the tree service must include the removal of all branches and debris not picked up by the garbage contractor. When trimming their own trees they are to bundle them for trash pick up. If there is a wind storm and village forces are coming around chipping, the branches at roadside will be chipped however they came to be at roadside. At no time will we come on private property for the purposes of chipping branches from a privately owned tree/shrub.
