Goliad Sparkles Chipping Service and City Clean Up: The City has scheduled its next “Goliad Sparkles” campaign to begin Monday, July 26, 2010. Please note that the City has modified some of its policies regarding chipping service. The City provides chipping to individual property owners who conduct a cleanup and place a reasonable amount of debris for chipping and removal no earlier than six (6) days prior to a scheduled campaign start. The City will no longer provide chipping services to clean up after a contractor has been used to clear or clean a lot. The City cannot chip overly large piles with larger than average limbs. Please stop by City Hall to complete an application for the service by Friday, July 23, 2010 to be included in the July Goliad Sparkles Chipping Service campaign.
