Curbside Chipper Event (Wildwood Neighborhood, Thousand Oaks)
Lower your wildfire risk by reducing overgrown vegetation on your property!
The Ventura Regional Fire Safe Council is hosting a FREE Curbside Chipper Event for any residents in the Wildwood Neighborhood on May 26th!
(South of W Avenida De Los Arboles & Lynn Rd – click to view map)
Each resident that REGISTERS will do their own yard work and set all their ready-to-chip vegetation into a neatly formed stack at the end of their driveway by May 25. On the day of the event, a crew will drive by with a chipper and chip their vegetation and either haul the chips away or keep them on site, to be determined at registration. REGISTER your pile and learn more at venturafiresafe.org/chipper

Tips for making a Chipper Pile
- Simply place branches, with the cut ends pointing toward the road, at the end of your driveway or roadside adjacent to your property.
- Leaves, succulents, pine needles, palm fronds, stumps, branches with thorns, vines, bamboo, root balls, grasses, and other small trimmings CANNOT be chipped. WE CANNOT TAKE BAMBOO AND OTHER NON-CHIPPABLE MATERIALS WITH US.
- Chipping in each area may take several days to complete. The number of days spent in each area depends on the amount of vegetation set out and the number of residents participating in the program.
