ATTENTION: PLACER RCD CHIPPER PROGRAM RESUMES OCT. 1
AUBURN, CALIF. (September 29, 2020) — Placer Resource Conservation District’s (Placer RCD) Chipper Program will resume services on Thursday, October 1, 2020. Although the program experienced a temporary pause this spring due to challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Placer RCD is grateful for the community’s patience and excited to announce its reopening.
Due to increases in project costs, the cost-share price has been raised to $80/hour. Landowners are required to pay for a minimum of one hour of work. Service fees may be waived for community members with a disabled person vehicle placard or a household income not exceeding the “Very Low Limit” defined by Placer County Department of Housing and Urban Development. Please call the phone number below and leave a message with your name, site address, phone number, and location of the brush pile to request service. Program participation is encouraged, however, due to high demand, landowners may experience extended wait times from when the request is received until the brush is processed.
The Chipper Program is the District’s most popular and utilized program. Hundreds of community members have taken advantage of this low-cost, residential chipping service. Placer RCD looks forward to continuing to help landowners in our county maintain safe, defensible space around their homes.
