Last Chipping Day of 2020 – Saturday, August 1st 9am to 4pm at LPHS
Denise Cagliaro
WIA Chipping Day wait time is directly affected by the way the brush is loaded on the truck and trailer. The June chipping event had a large number of loads that took a disproportionate amount of time to unload due to the style of loading, leading to a long wait time. Please follow the below guide to reduce wait time. Please call 719-488-2693 x 4 with questions.
Place all branches/brush/slash butt end (large end) towards the back of the truck or trailer. Please keep them all in the same approximate line/orientation. This facilitates removing the brush in one large unit.
Place larger pieces of brush on the bottom of the load. This facilitates removal of the brush in one unit. Pile smaller pieces on top of the larger pieces.
Do not load branches crossed at 90 degree angles, stuck vertically through the top, or otherwise out of plane. This makes unloading difficult and time consuming.
There will be an additional chipper at this last Chipping Day, so we expect even shorter wait times.
If you have pine needles or pine cones in bags, there will be dumpsters for those also; however, it is required that you empty the bags into the dumpsters.
