Brush Collection & Chipping

How it works

The Fire Safe Council says it sponsors regular brush collection and chipping sites in Southwest Riverside County to mitigate hazardous fuels in and near the wildland-urban interface.

What it covers

The official program page says the service is designed to support residents’ removal of flammable brush surrounding their homes and properties. The page does not give an amount of material accepted, a reimbursement amount, or a dollar value for the service.

Related local wildfire work

The Council also states that its broader wildfire-preparedness work includes community meetings and workshops, fire-safety educational materials, community disaster planning through its Community Wildfire Protection Plan, High Visibility address signs for WUI residents, and large animal evacuation sites.

Timing and funding

The page says the Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded by grants and public donations, and that it has received U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Cal Fire/Carbon Capture Initiative support. No dates, application window, or current funding cap is stated on the page for the brush collection and chipping service.
