Tree removal and storm cleanup on Signal Mountain

The Town runs a year-round brush route with its own size limits, and it won't take stumps or contractor brush.

Town brush route

Signal Mountain's brush trucks run a continuous route year-round, usually two to four weeks per loop, with no special pickups. Cut brush into roughly 10-foot lengths, no more than 10 inches in diameter, and leave it at the curb on your own property, not in the right-of-way or ditch. The same limits apply at the Transfer Station. Questions: Public Works, 423-886-2177 ext. 2.

Stumps and contractor brush

Stumps are not accepted, curbside or at the Transfer Station, and the Town does not pick up brush when the work was done by a contractor. Grinding stumps in place and having the crew haul the wood is the usual answer.

Burning

Signal Mountain is in the Air Pollution Control Bureau's county permit area ($15). The Town notes you need the Bureau's approval first (423-643-5970). Burning is allowed only October 1 to April 30, and never stumps.

Stump grinding and 811

Tennessee 811 needs at least 3 working days' notice before digging, homeowners included.
