Free curbside chipping service
Truckee Meadows Fire & Rescue offers free curbside chipping so Washoe County residents can turn trimmed vegetation into mulch instead of wildfire fuel. The district says it is meant to help people who cannot travel to chipping sites.
Program details
How it works
TMFPD’s Curbside Chipping Program is a free service where residents can have vegetation chipped rather than hauled away. The district says the program is intended to assist residents who cannot travel to its green-waste collection locations.
What the service covers
The official announcement does not spell out a payment amount because the service is free. It is specifically described as curbside chipping for vegetation removed from around homes to reduce wildfire risk.
How it fits wildfire hardening
This is a fuels-reduction service that supports defensible space by helping homeowners remove vegetation near structures.
Timing and deadlines
The district announces the curbside chipping program seasonally, including fall 2024 and fall 2025 offerings. The official announcements give the specific sign-up window each year.
