MERRILLVILLE — Police are alerting residents of a business not licensed in the city that is circulating fliers to homeowners asking they sign up for tree removal services.

“If you received this flier be aware that the town of Merrillville has no involvement with this company,” the letter from the Merrillville Police Department states.

The flier from “Tree Service Program” states work crews will be removing dead and hazardous trees, limbs and stumps on the street and against homes.

The flier further told residents that dead ash tree removal “rates would be substantially reduced” to area residents during a two-week period that began Wednesday.

Despite the company’s claim that it is fully licensed, the Police Department’s news release states the company is not licensed to do business in Merrillville.
