Clearing and chipping dead branches helps prevent fire from catching and spreading.
If you have dead branches piled up and don’t want to wait till the open burning season, here’s an opportunity to remove the dead dry fuel from around your property.

The Roadside Chipping Day provides residents with an opportunity to have their branches removed at no cost quickly and easily!

Just make a pile at the road and we’ll pick it up, chip it, and haul it away.
