Brush Drop Off Day Next Saturday!

Next Saturday, 25 April from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Carbon Canyon Fire Safe Council once again offers a brush drop-off event as part of its Fuel Reduction Program project.

During those five hours, any resident of the Chino Hills portion of Carbon Canyon is welcome to bring their cut brush, which Fire Safe Council will assist in loading into roll-off bins paid for by the City of Chino Hills and provided by Chino Hills (Republic) Disposal.

The location is just north of Chino Valley Fire District station 64 at 16231 Canon Lane at Carbon Canyon Road.

Residents should bring their ID, a copy of a utility bill or a Carbon Canyon Emergency Access pass to verify that they are eligible to take advantage of the program.

With fire department inspections coming starting 15 May, this is the time for local property owners to be cutting their brush, hauling it down to the drop off point, and be ahead of the game when it comes to reducing fuel and keeping our fire risk lower.

For more information about the brush drop-off program and the Fire Safe Council, call (909) 902-5280, ext. 8833 or www.CarbonCanyonFSC.com.

Carbon Canyon Resident Brush Drop-Off Day #2 This Saturday

The second installment of the brush drop-off program for residents of Carbon Canyon on the Chino Hills side only, coordinated by the Carbon Canyon Fire Safe Council and paid for by the City of Chino Hills, will take place, once again, next to Fire Station #64 and Western Hills Park on Canon Lane and Carbon Canyon Road.

The hours have been shortened to between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., because that's when all of the activity took place at the inaugural date in September, which had an additional hour at each end.  As with last month, residents can bring their brush to the drop-off point and members of the Council will be there to assist.

Those bringing brush should bring proof of residency in the Chino Hills side of Carbon Canyon, such as a driver's license, utility bill or Carbon Canyon emergency access pass.

For further information, call (909) 902-5280, x. 409.

Carbon Canyon Resident Brush Drop Off Day This Saturday

Though grant funding recently expired for a long-term project concerning a fuel reduction program, which allowed the Carbon Canyon Fire Safe Council to arrange for brush pick-ups for residents on the Chino Hills side of the Canyon, a new arrangement has been made by the Council with the City of Chino Hills.

This Saturday, the 24th, from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., Canyon residents will be able to bring cut brush to a drop-off location at Western Hills Park on Canon Lane, across from Fire Station 64, just north of Carbon Canyon Road.  There, a green waste dumpster provided by Chino Hills Disposal and paid for by the city will be available for off-loading the material.

It is important to note that all contents MUST BE BUNDLED and that those dropping off brush are to be prepared to do their own unloading.  For persons with special needs, there will be Fire Safe Council volunteers to assist.

Because this is a free service offered to Canyon residents, it is also essential that those taking part provde residency by bringing their driver's license, utility bill or Canyon emergency access pass.

With the fall coming and Santa Ana winds fueling the potential for dangerous fires within the Canyon and in adjacent areas, keeping up on the removal of brush assists greatly in mitigating some of the risk.

For those who cannot get their brush to the collection date this weekend, there'll be another time to do so next month, specifically Saturday, 22 October.

More information can be obtained by calling (909) 902-5280, extension 409.
