Route Information

Brush Collection/Chipper service in the City of Mt. Juliet is provided by the Department of Public Works to all single family residential properties with frontage on a public street. The Department has one chipper and chipper truck to service the City of Mt. Juliet. During normal operations, brush collection/chipper service is managed on a routed basis. The route begins in the southerly portion of the City and moves northerly throughout the City. It may take as long as 6 weeks to complete a route through the City during the growing season, April through October. Route time is much shorter, often less than one week, during the winter months of November through March. Normal operations are suspended in the event of a significant storm event that requires special response from the brush collection/chipper service.
