May 19th (this Saturday) is THE LAST DAY of the Aromas Chipper Program. Crews have chipped a HUGE pile making room for you to bring down more trimmings.

Please remember:
-No lumber, sawn wood or yard waste.
-NO POISON OAK.
-Nothing greater than 4” diameter.
-NO METAL, barbed wire, metal fencing etc.
-No loose material such as leaves, grass, sod or firewood chunks.

All of these present safety hazards to our firefighters and cannot be accepted.

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. ... See MoreSee Less
