Around here, both towns and utilities mostly hire tree services to trim the trees around the poles and wires. So the trimming and chipping usually go together. Bucket truck for the guy with the chain saw, and a dump truck pulling a shredder with a couple guys ground crew feeding the shredder and cleaning up with leafblowers.
Our village does have some of their own equipment, but I think they like being able to contract most of the routine tree trimming out because there are lots of tree services and the competition drives the price down.

Nice, this is probably where we’ll end up. Ideally, we could find a balance of: we cut, town chips.

The vast majority of pole lines are on public ROW which means the local political entity controls the property and is generally responsible for the condition of the trees. When we have asked in the past if the village (insert whatever political entity you like) cared if we trimmed around lines none had any issue with it. Most said thanks - they didn’t want to do it.
