Chipping drop-off guidelines, location

With the chipping pile at the Dammeron Valley Community Gardens being open again for drop-off of yard waste, we ask that anyone dropping off follow our guidelines, as the DVFR chipping crew encountered a lot of difficulty with items not stacked properly or that were unacceptable for chipping while processing the pile April 4-5.

Acceptable items:

• Small branches or limbs no more than 6 inches in diameter🆗

• Sage and other brush that does not include root balls/dirt🆗

• Other small diameter brush items.

Not acceptable (cannot be chipped):

• Shrubs or items containing dirt or root balls🆖

• Branches or limbs more than 6 inches in diameter🆖

• Stumps

• Construction wood or other building materials🆖

• Anything containing dirt or rocks

• 
  

Please stack your items in orderly piles with the cut ends facing out. This makes it easier on our crew to feed the items into the chipper.

Now that we have some amazing cooler weather, it's a great time to start your yard cleanups and get your items to the chipping pile.
