chippers

Wood-eating yard machines

Chippers is plural for chipper, a machine that reduces wood to chips—tree branches, stumps, and brush fed into industrial chippers become mulch or fuel.

A wood chipper appears memorably in the film *Fargo*.

In British and Irish usage, a chipper is a fish-and-chip shop: We grabbed cod from the chippers on the corner.
