During our routine maintenance, in populated areas, tree crews will chip and dispose of most small limbs. In unpopulated areas, branches will be left for wildlife cover. Larger limbs will be cut into handling lengths and piled at the base of the tree for the property owner’s use or disposal. Debris that has resulted from a storm where trees or limbs have blown or fallen onto wires will be left for the property owner to dispose of after the area has been made safe by PPL crews or their contractors.
