The Chipping Program starts two weeks early this year.
Please review the website below so you know when the Chipper is coming through your neighborhood: https://summitcountyco.gov/885/Chipping-Program The wildfire prevention objective is to engage every citizen by providing action opportunities.
The county-wide wildfire prevention programs fund large scale forest health and resilience projects; moderate scale community cost-share grant programs; small scale property owner removal of backyard logs, branches, and sticks to be processed by the curbside Chipping Program.
You can protect your home from wildfire with help from the Summit County Chipping Program. Summit County government helps residents and property owners create defensible space by providing free chipping and disposal for branches, logs and small trees. If you clear woody vegetation from around your home and stack it in a slash pile, we’ll chip it and haul it away at no cost.
For more information, call (970) 389-5756.
When it comes to wildfire, it takes everyone to protect everyone.
