FSC Chipping Program
The FSCNC will chip any brush that is cleared 100’ from any permanent structure and/or 30’ from any roadside or driveway used for evacuation purposes. Any vegetation that grows past such limitations is beyond the boundaries of what we can chip. The FSCNC is not able to chip solid piles of leaves, pine needles, yard clippings or decaying wood. These materials can be disposed of by Waste Management through their “Green Waste Pick-Up” program. They can be contacted at (530) 274-3090.
The FSC cannot clean up timber harvest project or vacant lots!
