Central Marin Fire Department will be managing residential chipper days in Corte Madera and Larkspur in September and October, 2020. This new curbside pick-up chipper service is funded by Measure F and Measure C (Corte Madera) and Measure C (Larkspur). Chipper programs are designed to encourage property owners to cut and remove hazardous vegetation and improve property maintenance by reducing the cost of hauling and disposing of vegetation. Participation is voluntary, and availability is on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Online registration is required (telephone assisance available if needed).
