The Okanogan Conservation District is happy to provide air care events for residents in the Methow Valley this spring. For dumpster events coming to your community, there is no need to sign up.

Please fill out this form if you live in one of the following communities and wish to participate in the community chipping event:

• May 19: Timberline Meadows
• May 20-21: Edelweiss
• May 22: Liberty Woodlands
• May 26-27: Libby Creek
• May 29: Sun Mt. Ranch Club
• June 3: Lost River Airport Association Community
• June 5: Pine Forest
• June 10: Wilson Ranch
• June 11-12: Buttermilk

Guidelines and restrictions:

• All material must be stacked at the end of driveway or placed in an accessible location for personnel to perform the chipping.

          ** Please have piles ready by 8 am on the day of your event.

• Only woody material (branches, tree limbs, bushes, etc.) can be chipped. No leaves, pine needles, trash, or other material. Material left in sacks or bags will not be chipped.

• Stack piles so that the cut/butt ends of limbs, sticks, etc. are facing outward toward the road.

• Material should not be tied together or otherwise bounded up. Tying material together slows the chipping crew down, and loose rope, string, or wire can jam up equipment.

• Logs/branches must be no longer than 6 feet and no wider than 10 inches.

• No root balls or other material with large quantities of dirt.

• Bitterbrush is difficult to chip and can dull blades, please minimize its placement in piles. If you want it to be chipped, it must be cut, not pulled, from the ground.
