Hedley Improvement District (HID)

Hedley’s 5th Boulevard Boost: Saturday, May 27, 2023

RDOS will be sending a chipper to pickup and chip branches at your home from 9:30am – 1:00pm May 27th.

Everyone must be registered. Please email your name, address and phone number to: hedleyblvdboost@gmail.com or call/text Carol 778-888-8322.

Registration closes May 24, 202.

Guidelines for removing woody debris:

Accepted materials are:

Wood up to 12” in diameter, including branches and twigs (no roots, please).

Please refrain from raking needles/grass into the debris piles. This collects gravel and stones that cannot be placed in the chipper. Needles/grass can be placed in yard waste bags for regular pickup once a month with garbage.

It is best to have the debris piles at the end of each driveway on the “boulevard”.
