-No lumber, sawn wood or yard waste.
-NO POISON OAK.
-Nothing greater than 4” diameter.

Please get your trimmings in this week. We will NOT be accepting trimmings after the 19th.
While you’re here take as much of the wood chips home with you. They’re FREE! They’re a great way to conserve water and to protect and beautify your ornamental shrubbery.
Here’s more info on the Residential Chipping Program. PLEASE help us help you by following these rules.
More info on how you should prep for Wildfire from our cooperators in fire protection, CAL FIRE.Fire can spread around your property in the blink of an eye. Allowing for extra vertical spacing between shrubs and trees will slow the spread of fire and create a stronger defensible space around your home. An easy formula to follow is 3x Height of Shrub = Minimum Vertical Clearance. #WilfireAwarenessWeek Learn more at: www.readyforwildfire.org/Defensible-Space/
