Wood Waste Waiver Program
The current wood waste program in effect is operating under Resolution R12-72, adopted in 2012. This program is intended to encourage the public to clear a 30-foot defensible space around their homes by providing a free and convenient disposal option for clean wood waste removed from within that zone.
These "Wood Waivers" are available only through local fire districts chiefs that can distribute the coupons to local residents based on individual properties' defensible space needs.
To obtain a waiver, please contact your local fire district:
