History of the Neighborhood Chipping Program

The Big Bear Valley Fire Safe Council held its first Chipper Days in 2004.

It was such a success that more dates have been scheduled. The name “Chipper Day” is reminiscent of a beaver chipping through the forest turning little trees and branches into chips. It is a convenient way for people in the Big Bear Valley to dispose of their overgrown vegetation, tree trimmings, and branches and have them turned into chips.

Vegetation material is chipped into small pieces and made available free back to the public for use as mulch and ground cover for landscaping.

It’s a great way to recycle our biomass in the Big Bear Valley while at the same time minimizing the waste at our local transfer station.

Look for “Chipper Days” coming to your neighborhood.
