Program details
How it works
The Alameda County Fire Department runs a Chipper Program and provides homeowner sign-up, FAQs, and an interactive application page. The official page confirms the program exists and is currently being promoted by the Fire Department.
What the service covers
The program is a chipping service for vegetation and yard waste generated as part of wildfire preparedness. The official landing page links to a signup form, FAQs, and an interactive application.
Amounts and matching
This is a free service rather than a cash grant. The public page I found does not state a dollar value or homeowner match.
How to apply
Homeowners can sign up through the program’s official sign-up form or interactive application linked from the program page.
Timing and deadlines
The page is branded for 2026, but the site excerpt I reviewed did not state a specific seasonal window, service area map, or cutoff date.
