Chipping is a common way to remove tree limbs and branches after they have been cut down. Once tree branches have been cut down, it is then put into a wood-chipping machine, which grinds the wood into chips.

Cutting down a tree can involve getting rid of the material. Once the wood has been chipped it can be hauled away, used as bark or even spread back over the land to fertilize soil. This makes tree chipping an environmentally friendly approach to removing and recycling tree waste.
