City extends tree limb disposal to be open each month throughout the year

The City of Joplin’s monthly tree limb program now will be available every month on the third Saturday and preceding Friday.

These new hours start this month, and the site is open today, Nov. 15, and tomorrow, Nov. 16 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This service will be offered monthly on the third Saturday weekend. It will be open again on Friday, December 20, and Saturday, December 21.

The drop-off site address is 1702 North Schifferdecker Avenue, approximately six-tenths of a mile north of Belle Center Road on the west side of Schifferdecker Avenue.  This free drop-off service is for Joplin residents only.  Professional contractors will not be allowed to dump.

Joplin residents should also note that the City’s residential trash service through Republic Services allows yard waste removal on their regular trash pick-up day.  Limbs must be cut to a maximum of four (4) feet and bundled.  Bundles shall be no heavier than 50 pounds.  The diameter of each tree limb shall be no larger than four (4) inches.

Please contact the Recycling Coordinator at 417-624-0820, ext. 1501 with any questions about the site drop-off. For questions about curbside pickup, contact Republic Services at 800-431-1507.
