Fire Hazard Mitigation Program
If you have large piles of tree trimmings to dispose of you have an alternative to residential burning or making that run to the dump.
Chipping
You can have that pile of material chipped and returned to you as mulch for your garden. Placer County provides a chipping service that is FREE and available to all residents. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CDF) manages the overall program.
The goal of the program is to reduce the local fire hazard by converting large piles of flammable material into small piles of useable biodegradable material.
Program Requirements:
- Chipping will only be done along a road or driveway frontage which will allow the crew to work from the road or driveway.
- All material to be chipped must be placed along the edge of the road or driveway with the cut ends pointing toward the access.
- All material chipped will be blown back onto the property.
- To arrange for chipping service in the Loomis area, call the CDF fuel reduction chipper program- (530) 889-0111, ext. 200.
