Defensible Space Chipping Services:

Thank you to all homeowners who have participated in this program.

Your effort to comply with the City Fire Department defensible space clearance requirement deadline of June 15 has made a huge impact on improving the fire safety for you, your neighborhood and your community! 

Each year, chipping services are offered to those homeowners who reside within the Wildland Fire Suppression Assessment District located in portions of the Foothill and Extreme Foothill High Fire Hazard Areas of Santa Barbara’s foothills. Chipping services are provided to encourage property owners to create a defensible space and provide a cost effective way to dispose of cut material.

THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES TO OUR CHIPPING SCHEDULE FOR ALL AREAS IN 2013. Please refer to the newsletter that was sent out mid-January 2013 for the 2013 schedule and map to determine the appropriate time to place your vegetation out for us. We will not be by sooner, nor will we make second passes to come back. The chipping schedule can be found on the inside front cover of the newsletter that was sent to each property owner in January.

No chipping services will be available until your scheduled day.
