All Tiburon and Belvedere residents can drive their vegetation cuttings and “slash” to be piled for chipper removal courtesy of Tiburon Fire Prevention Staff & Town of Tiburon Public Works equipment. Vehicles are to dump the cuttings in the assigned area with direction from staff and only need to indicate the address from where the cut vegetation was removed. This information is used to track compliance efforts and target tonnage removal.
For more information on this event, residents can call (415) 432-8879 or (415) 435-7202. To learn more about Defensible Space, go to Tiburon Fire District Vegetation Management Program or click on the Prevention drop down menu tab on the homepage to find the Vegetation Management Program page.
Tiburon Fire District would like to thank all who support Chipper Days by bringing their vegetation cuttings to the events. We see great success with tons of vegetation removed from the peninsula each year!
