Chipper/Shredders
Operation Type of Waste Permitted Size Limitations Notes
Shredding Dry or moist organic material
including leaves, plants,
flowers, fruits, or vegetables.
Branches and twigs up to 1/2”
diameter and 18” long.
Alternately chip or shred moist green waste
with dry waste to avoid plugging of the
discharge chute.
Process at a feeding rate that allows the
rotor to keep up and maintain a high rate of
speed.
Chipping Long, thicker tree limbs or
small bunches of smaller sticks
grouped together for ease of
handling.
Tree limbs and branches,
or bundles of small sticks
grouped for easier handling.
Maximum diameter of
approximately 3” (7,6 cm).
Bulky tree limbs should be pruned close to
the main stem. Always use a shorter piece
of wood to push end pieces into the chipper
cone. Never place hands in the chipper
cone.
Never chip very hard or dry materials such as
kiln dried dimensional lumber (2x4’s etc.) or
other building materials.
Never use the chipper to process pressure-
treated wood products.
Vacuum
Attachment
Light, loose, dry waste such
as leaves, grass clippings, or
sawdust.
Small materials that will not
obstruct the vacuum hose.
The vacuum is engineered for small, loose
waste and for cleaning around decorative
landscaping and flower beds. Twigs, wet
leaves, and other bulky materials will clog
the hose or obstruct the shredding chamber.
