The Okanogan Conservation District is happy to provide chipping services for the City of Okanogan and the City of Omak. Please fill out this form if you wish to receive chipping services on the week of June 16th, 2025.

Please sign up by June 15th so that we can adequately prepare. Piles must be put out by June 16th to ensure they are ready when the chipping crew comes by.

This will be a mobile event, meaning the chipper will stop along the roadside to chip your materials. The woodchips from the Omak event will be hauled away and available for pickup at Omak Eastside Park. The woodchips from the Okanogan event will be hauled away and available for pickup at the American Legion Park. These woodchips are available for free, for anyone to use.

Note: This is different than the City Spring Clean-up event.

Guidelines and restrictions:

All material must be stacked at the end of your driveway or in a place accessible to personnel performing the chipping. Material left behind gates, fences, or not near the roadway/sidewalk may not be chipped.

• 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.
