The City of Joplin will open the tree limb and brush drop-off site on Friday, August 19 and Saturday, August 20 from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm. This free program is open the third Friday and Saturday of the month from March through October, unless there is a weather event that warrants cancelation/postponement.

Limbs must be cut to a maximum of four feet and bundled. Bundles shall be no heavier than 50 pounds. The diameter of each tree limb shall be no larger than four inches.
