The Okanogan Conservation District is happy to provide chipping services for residents in the Methow Valley this spring.

Please fill out this form if you live in the following communities and wish to participate in the events:

• April 25th: Sun Mountain Ranch Club
• May 8th: Timberline Meadows (chipping & dumpster)
• May 18th: Libby Creek (chipping & dumpster)
• May 22nd: Edelweiss
• May 30th: Pine Forest

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.

            (Communities of Timberline Meadows and Sun Mt. Ranch Club communities, stay tuned for further updates).

             ** 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 6.5 feet and no wider than 12 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.

• Communities with Yard Waste Dumpsters: No non-organic material can be placed in the dumpsters. The dumpsters are exclusively for non-woody plant material (wood chips can be deposited). No trash, food waste, or animal carcasses can be deposited.

• Libby Creek Residents: Due to the nature of the funding source for your event, a secondary form is needed to be signed by participants. A form will be mailed or emailed to you by the Conservation District after you have filled out this online sheet.
