Chipping Programs
Learn about the Air District's Agricultural Waste and Wildfire Prevention Chipping Programs.
The Air District is currently accepting applications for chipping services through the Agricultural Waste and Wildfire Prevention Chipping Programs. The application form can be found under the "Chipping Services Forms and Information" section on this webpage. These services are provided to the public at no cost on a first-come, first-served basis, and will be available until funds are exhausted. Submission of an application is not a guarantee of chipping services.
Agricultural Waste Chipping Program
The Agricultural Waste Chipping Program encourages qualifying agricultural operations located within the Air District’s nine Bay Area counties to apply for free chipping services provided by The Davey Tree Expert Company to dispose of agricultural waste material in lieu of open burning the material.
Chipping this material will eliminate unhealthy particulate matter emissions that would result if the material were burned.
Wildfire Prevention Chipping Program
As part of the Wildfire Air Quality Response Program, the Wildfire Prevention Chipping Program encourages qualifying properties located within the Air District’s nine Bay Area counties to apply for free chipping services provided by The Davey Tree Expert Company to dispose of material in lieu of open burning the material. The program goal is to reduce fuel loads and wildfire risk to prevent and mitigate future wildfires.
