The Free Slash Drop-Off program will assist residents in creating defensible space around their homes and other structures. Cutting away vegetation 5 to 30 feet from all structures and removing all debris and dead vegetation from roofs, decks, and the ground can reduce the potential of a wildfire spreading to your home.

Please take advantage of the Free Slash Drop-Off program as you create defensible space around your properties.

Only the following items will be accepted: brush, branches, grass, leaves and yard trimmings. All slash must be removed from plastic bags.

Items that will NOT be accepted are: lumber, stumps, roots, cactus, metal, and garbage.

This program is for residential use only. Commercial loads will not be accepted.
