Materials Accepted vs. Not Accepted

Accepted: Limbs, branche s, woody debris, tree bark, pine cones, logs (max length 8 ft, max diameter 6 inches)
Not Accepted: construction material, lumber, household tras h, metal of any kind, rocks, tree stumps, yard waste/grass clippings, bags, leaves

The majority o f the materials that are not accepted often cause damage to our heavy machi nery. Construction material and lumber typically have metal hidden througho ut, which can cause damage to our grinder. Tree stumps often have rocks, wh ich are challenging and time consuming to remove. We also do not accept lea ves since other debris, such as rocks and metal, can get swept up with the leaves.

The fees that are charged help to offset the c ost for the processing equipment, staffing and keeping the program sustaina ble so it can continue into future years.

Help Reduce Wildfire D anger
What is Slash?
Slash is debris, from nature, such as tree limbs, prunings and pine cones. If not removed, slash can add to potential fire hazards on your property. The importance of miti gating and preparing your property for wildfire cannot be overstated - and again this year, Jefferson County is your partner in this effort.
The Importance of Mitigation
Removing slash and crea ting a defensible space around your home, is the first line of defense agai nst wildfires. You can create zones around your home, removing any fire fue ls, such as tree debris. Having a properly mitigated property doesn’t mean that wildfire will pass you by, but it gives the fire department a better o pportunity to save your home when it does come. Great tips on how to protec t your home and property can be found on the Jeffco Sheriff’s hazard mitigation page and at FireWise website. Jeffc o's CSU Extension also has a factsheet that can help homeowners plant low-flammabilit y gardens.
