Lake Valley offering to chip slash piles

Lake Valley Fire Protection District is offering free wood chipping to assist homeowners with their efforts to reduce flammable vegetation and create defensible space.

This service is offered to resident serviced by Lake Valley and people living at Fallen Leaf Lake.

LVFPD is continuing to work with South Tahoe Refuse to offer two methods of slash disposal. The chipping program is no longer setting restrictions on pile sizes, however slash that can be easily wrapped in twine should be disposed of on regular trash days.

When the pile is ready, call 530.577.2447. Chipping is scheduled by zones, so it may take several weeks.
