Who it's for

Free chipping for residents in the high fire areas of Yolo County who are doing hazardous fuels reduction or 100-foot defensible space work. Residential use only; the crew will not chip material from projects unrelated to defensible space or fuels reduction. Piles must be brush and tree limbs from the property, no more than 6 inches in diameter and 10 feet long, at most 50 by 10 by 5 feet, free of trash and excluded materials, and easily reached from a private road, driveway or lane. Crews spend up to 3 hours per visit and chip back onto the property; the homeowner spreads the chips.
