Our next free chipping days will be June 17-19th, 2024.
Chipping Day Guidelines
Chipping Pile DOs
-
Stack material next to the road so the chipping crew can easily reach the pile.
-
Stack all chipping material neatly and evenly with ends facing the road.
-
Stack materials loosely so the branches/limbs can be pulled apart easily.
-
Tree trunks and limbs must be smaller than 6 inches in diameter.
-
Keep your piles under 4 feet high.
-
Keep your pile less than 12 feet long.
Chipping Pile DON'Ts
-
IMPORTANT: No oleander or poison oak - these are toxic/harmful and will not be chipped.
-
No palm fronds, Scotch broom, berry vines, or thorny material (e.g. roses).
-
No construction materials, tree stumps, or rocks.
-
No foreign material - wire, string, metal, etc.
-
No roots – dirt and rocks in the roots damage machinery.
-
No mud or dirt - do not drag your branches through mud or dirt.
-
No bulldozed or machine-stacked piles.
-
Do not cross-stack piles.
-
Do not stack brush over existing vegetation or the roadway.
