YOU CUT AND STACK, WE’LL TAKE CARE OF THE REST!
Cut Vegetation
START CUTTING YOUR VEGETATION in advance of your scheduled neighborhood clean-up date. Focus your efforts within 100’ of structures and roadways, in the area known as your “Defensible Space Zone”.
Stack for pick up
Vegetation must be longer than 3 feet, less than 16 inches in diameter, and stacked at the curb of your roadway with cut ends pointing toward the road to be chipped.
VEGETATION MUST BE STACKED NO MORE THAN TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE OF YOUR CHIPPING SCHEDULE AND BY 8 AM OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS DESIGNATED PROGRAM SCHEDULE (SEE BELOW) TO BE ADDRESSED.
What Can’t be Chipped?
Leaves, succulents, pine needles, palm fronds, stumps, branches with thorns, vines, bamboo, root balls, grasses and other small trimmings CANNOT be chipped. Roll Offs will be available for disposal of these materials. No plastic bags or manmade materials are allowed in the roll offs.
