As part of October Wildfire Awareness Month, chipping services will be provided at no charge by the Sheriff’s Office Fire Crew.  This is your chance to get rid of your slash piles and create defensible space on your property.

Date: Saturday, October 8^th, 2011

Time: 10:00 am-3:00 pm

Location: Soby Residence, 9998 Gold Hill Rd. 100 yds west of the Gold Hill fire barn
What do you have to do?  Get your slash to the Sobys.  If you do not have a truck to haul your slash, call Pete Soby (303 444-9249).
Drop-off Guidelines:

·         Site is open for material drop-off between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.  (No material accepted before then.)

·         Onsite registration/check-in is required.

·         Maximum diameter of slash: 6” (minimum diameter of slash: ¾”)

·         At drop-off site, stack slash neatly with the cut ends out.

·         Longer branches are acceptable, no need to cut them short.

·         Only forest slash will be accepted. No leaf litter, trash, construction waste, dirt, metal or rocks.  It is very important that slash does not contain any metal (including old nails and fencing). That material will damage donated chippers.
