2012 Chipper Program

The Woodside Fire Protection District (WFPD) continues its neighborhood Chipper Program in 2012 in collaboration with the Towns of Woodside and Portola Valley.

The Chipper Program is a collaborative fuel reduction program to help decrease our community's threat from wildfire.

All WFPD asks is that you bring all the materials you would like chipped to the roadside on your designated neighborhood day and they will take care of the rest.

The service is provided at no charge, but there are some restrictions.  The chipper cannot chip Eucalyptus bark or poision oak.  Materials cannot contain nails or screws, as it can damage the chipper and any personnel operating it.  Fuels such as brush, and tree limbs are accepted, and branches with diameters up to 8" are acceptable.  Branches need to be stacked in a neat pile with all of the cut ends facing the road.  Piles are limited to 10' x 10'.  Brush will be chipped back on site with exception for certain areas.
