NO COST CHIPPING SERVICES FOR AMADOR COUNTY RESIDENTS

The Amador Resource Conservation District (ARCD) is implementing a residential fuels Roadside Chipping program, a Neighborhood Chipping program, and Community Chipping events to help encourage continued vegetation maintenance in the county.  The ARCD will administer the chipping services program through a grant awarded by the California Fire Safe Council.  This chipping program is open to all Amador County residents that first pile vegetative slash along roadsides or driveways, then submit a request for chipping service (see below, but please review all requirements first). The ARCD will send an industrial chipper and crew to the site to process the roadside slash.  The program will provide the community the ability to process vegetative debris, or residents can bring their green waste to one of the scheduled Community Chipping events throughout the county. 

TWO OPTIONS FOR ASSISTANCE

COMMUNITY CHIPPING EVENTS

The Amador Resource Conservation District (ARCD) will host Community Chipping Events at various locations throughout Amador County in 2023.  Landowners will be able to bring vegetation material cleared from their own properties to these Community Chipping Events, in which a contractor and industrial chipper will be used to chip the material. Click the Community Chipping Event link at the bottom of the page for more information.

ROADSIDE AND NEIGHBORHOOD CHIPPING

Roadside and Neighborhood Chipping is available for residents of Amador County. Once vegetation is cut and piled by the landowner, the landowner should submit an application for Roadside Chipping.  Click the Roadside Chipping link at the bottom of the page for more information.
