Program details
How it works
Medford Fire and the Parks, Recreation and Facilities Departments host Free Wood Debris Chipper Days as a seasonal cleanup service for residents. The city says the goal is to help keep properties safe and clean year-round by letting residents bring wood debris to a designated drop-off site for chipping.
What the service covers
The event accepts clean wood debris only, specifically limbs and branches. The page says the maximum branch size is 8 inches in diameter.
What is not accepted
The city specifically says not to bring:
- Grass trimmings
- Weeds
- Trash
- Construction materials
The event is intended for Medford residents only and no commercial loads are allowed.
Timing and locations
The page announces the 2025 event dates as Wednesday, November 19 and Thursday, November 20, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Drop-off locations listed on the page are:
- East Side: Donahue-Frohnmayer Park, 1687 Spring St.
- West Side: Fichtner-Mainwaring Park, 334 Holmes Ave.
Why it matters
The city says getting rid of debris helps reduce fire hazards around the property and minimizes the potential spread if a wildfire occurs. The page presents this as a recurring community cleanup effort rather than a one-time-only notice.
