Next Chipping Day is set for Sept. 28

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Fire Safe Council is sponsoring a “chipping day” at Fire Station 4, 4375 Pala Mesa Dr. on Saturday, Sept. 28, from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. This event is open to all residents in the Fallbrook, Bonsal, Rainbow and DeLuz communities.

Material that will be accepted for chipping include branches, less than six inches in diameter, trimmed brush, palm branches and other cut vegetation. Brush must be free of mud, rocks and other debris. No tree stumps will be accepted. No commercial landscaping companies will be allowed to participate.

Volunteers will be at the site to assist in the unloading of vehicles. The material will be placed into a roll-off container donated by EDCO Waste and Recycling, Inc. and transported to the EDCO recycling facility in Clairmont for processing into mulch that will be made available to all San Diego County residents.

This event is supported through a grant provided by the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation, SDG&E and the San Diego Fire Safe Council.
