Free Chipper Day: Corte Madera Residents Only

Corte Madera Residents
FREE CHIPPER DAY
June 8 th , 2019

Central Marin Fire Department & the Town of Corte Madera have partnered to sponsor a free chipper day. Dispose of your brush, branches, and dead vegetation.

WHERE: The Cove School Parking Lot
(330 Golden Hind Passage)

WHEN: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Saturday June 8 th , 2019

WHY: To provide a more “fire-safe” community.

This is also an opportunity to clear primary and secondary evacuations routes and roadways. Vegetation encroaching into the roadway or limiting visibility from driveways
is more than a nuisance, it's a hazard. 

For the safety of our workers, please follow these guidleines:

  • Vegetation for disposal should be fire-hazardous - any dead vegetation, fallen limbs, or fire-hazardous species put your property at risk (see www.firesafemarin.org/plants).
  • Collection is for “vegetation” waste only. No lumber, appliances, trash, metal objects, batteries, hazardous waste, etc. will be accepted.
  • Stumps and poison oak will not be accepted.
  • Any small plant material that has been pulled out by the roots must be free of rocks and dirt or it will not be accepted.
  • No wire or metal of any kind may be mixed with the yard waste.
  • Proof of Corte Madera residency is required.
