The following requirements must be met in order to request a chipping appointment:

• Debris must be piled along a route of ingress/egress that a truck towing a chipper can access - not along county roads

• All cut parts of the limbs must be faced out towards the driveway

• All piles must be within 10 feet of the driveway

• All limbs must be no wider that 5 feet

• All limbs shall be 6 inches in diameter or less

• Piles must be no higher than 4 feet and free of any trash or metal

• Piles can be any length

If limbs are piled incorrectly, the MFSC will not chip them.

MFSC reserves the right to refuse services.

 

Please include the information on the "Interested in Chipping" form below. Incomplete chipping forms cannot be signed up:

1. Name, address, and phone number

2. Type and condition of wood (for ex: burned manzanita limbs)

3. Number of piles

4. Approximate overall length of piles

​

Let us know you’d like to participate by completing the form below. Once we receive your request, our staff will give you a call to confirm your information and add you to the service list. After that, our contractor will reach out directly to schedule your chipping date and time.

​

Turnaround times vary depending on your location and the number of requests we receive. Most residents can expect service within 1–2 weeks, though it may take up to 4 weeks or longer for properties in the more rural areas of Mariposa County. Please be sure your brush piles are ready before submitting your request so we can keep things moving smoothly for everyone.

​

There are two short forms that require your signature: the Request for Service form and a Right of Entry form. These will be provided either by MFSC during a pre-inspection or by our contractor on the day of service. For this reason, someone must be home when the service is performed.

​

If you are a CARE Program recipient, please have proof of enrollment available. The easiest way to verify this is to show the top left section of your most recent PG&E bill during your pre-inspection—it lists your name, address, and CARE participation.
