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.
