1. Boulder County residents interested in organizing a chipping event for their local community fill out an application under one individual (aka the “Host”).
2. Wildfire Partners staff review the application and notify the homeowner if it’s approved, usually within 1-2 weeks.
3. Upon approval, the homeowner receives an email from Wildfire Partners with a list of approved chipping contractors, instructions for contacting and scheduling a contractor, and a reminder of slash pile requirements.
4. The homeowner contacts a contractor from the approved list and schedules the event day(s), then informs Wildfire Partners and their community of the date.
5. The homeowner educates participating homeowners on how to register and prepare slash piles for the event day(s).
6. On the event day(s), the contractor chips the slash piles at the registered locations and transports the chips to approved donation sites in Boulder County.
7. Wildfire Partners pays the contractor directly upon completion of the work.
