*The 2025 branch chipping program is now complete for 2025. 

You prune, we remove. 

The City’s 2025 branch chipping service starts Monday, February 24. 

To have your branches picked up:  

  • Leave them on the grass boulevard by 7 a.m. on February 24.
  • Make only one pile (per household) no bigger than 1 x1 x 2.5 metres or 4x4x8 feet – about the amount a pickup truck can hold. 
  • Only put out branches between 2.5 cm/1" to 25 cm/10" in diameter. 
  • Stack them with cut ends together on the grass boulevard.
  • Do not put them out more than two weeks before the pick-up start date. 

Please note that trucks will make only one pass down each street. Victoria residents can also drop off branches and other garden waste for free year-round at the City’s Public Works Yard (417 Garbally Road) on Saturdays from 7 a.m.-2 p.m. (except statutory holidays).
