It’s a free drop-off event supporting FireSmart safety on properties by facilitating the removal of excess yard waste & wood debris that could potentially fuel wildfires & endanger homes. Yard waste will be responsibly chipped & disposed.
Yard & Wood Waste Drop-off Rules:
• No rocks, nails, or roots to prevent damage to machinery.
• No treated lumber, construction waste, bags of leaves, or grass clippings.
• Ensure all bottom ends of the branches point in the same direction for efficient processing.
• Tree trimmings must be under 16 centimetres (6.3 inches) in diameter and 10 metres (32 feet) in maximum length.
• No invasive species such as Scotch Broom, English Holly, Giant Hogweed and Knotweed.
• Wood chips cannot be returned to the residents as they are considered fuel under the FireSmart principles.
• The onsite chipping contractor reserves the right to refuse any pile or debris they feel does not meet these rules.
It’s from 8am-3pm daily in the Comox Fire Hall (1870 Noel Avenue) parking lot & everyone’s welcome.
