2006 Neighborhood Chipping Program

During the summer months of 2006 and 2007, the City of Big Bear Lake and Big Bear Lake Fire Department have partnered to provide a new service to the community of Big Bear Lake. In 2006, the neighborhood chipping program provided property owners within 1,500 feet of the San Bernardino National Forest an incentive for creating defensible space around their homes. It provided a convenient way for homeowners to dispose of large tree limbs, branches, and tree stems by simply placing the vegetation curbside.
