Chipping services are provided to encourage property owners to create defensible space and provide a cost effective way to dispose of cut material. As long as property owners adhear to the posted chipping schedule (below) and place vegetation out according to the designated chipping area they are located in we will dispose of the material at no cost. The chip area map is located on the inside front cover of the newsletter that was sent out in January, on our website or by clicking here. For any questions related to which chipping area you are located in please call us at 965-5254.

There are very specific requirements of what can be chipped. Vegetation that does not meet these requirements will not be chipped and will be the responsibility of the property owner to dispose of.
The following chipping instructions need to be followed:
- Cut vegetation should be laid out in a pile along the street area outside of the drivable roadway.
- The cut end of all vegetation must face the street so contractors can easily handle material.
- Brush should be left in long lengths (4-7 feet). It is much easier to chip.
- Branches should be no greater than 10 inches in diameter.
- Material in plastic bags will not be picked up.Twine or string must not be used to tie vegetation.
- Rocks or other debris will not be chipped.
- Long piles OK as long as they are not over 4 feet in height.
- Old dead vegetation that has been lying around for years cannot be chipped (this type of vegetation damages chipper blades).
- Pine needles or other leaf litter cannot be chipped.
- Piles pushed or moved by mechanical means, i.e. tractor, cannot be chipped.
- Grasses, palm fronds, succulents or agaves will not be chipped.
