Wood chips are a by-product of the maintenance line clearance tree trimming work being done in your area. All desired dumping sites must be marked clearly. Once the chips are dumped, it will become the responsibility of the person making the request to relocate the wood chips. South Central Indiana REMC makes no guarantee to the quality, load size, type, or condition of wood chips that have been chipped to make the load. A suitable and accessible dumpsite is needed for the truck size and condition of the surface being driven on. Our crew foreman may refuse to dump at a site if he or she feels conditions may jeopardize the safety of employees, the general public, or company equipment.<\/p>\n
