What is a Chipper Day and why do it?

This is an annual community-wide event to clean up excess brush and limbs.
The HOA contracts with a local landscape company to be in the subdivision with their chipper, and they will travel to each area of the neighborhood, chipping as they go!
It is an annual Rambling Ridge event to clean up excess brush and limbs to keep our neighborhood safe from fires and looking nice. The tips of a tree’s branches should be at least six feet from your roof in case of high wind, fire or animals using it like a highway to your home.
The HOA arranges the chipper and crew from a professional contractor to come throughout the neighborhood to pick up our piles of branches.
Fallen limbs and untrimmed landscaping looks messy and lowers our property values! Be a responsible homeowner and clean up around your property as well as the areas along the road closest to you. Even a little pile can make a big difference for our neighborhood appeal and safety.
Dates vary each year and will be announced ahead of time.
To participate, get on the pick up list! Contact Kenny Perry kpfasure@msn.com
CHIPPER DAY GUIDELINES
• Brush piles can be no larger than what you can put in the back of a pickup truck (roughly 8 feet long by 6 feet wide). The crews will not take anything larger*
• Brush will need to be out by the side of the road in a neat pile but not in the way of traffic or plows. Ends facing out helps the crew pick up easily.
• Brush and branches can be no larger than 6” in diameter.
Absolutely NO construction debris, vines, finished lumber, bamboo, stumps, potted plants, flower bushes or stems/plants with thorns. This is for the protection of the workers as well as the equipment.
*If you have a substantial amount of brush you can contract separately with the company
we will be using.
Depending on the number of residents who participate, it may take 2 days to complete the job throughout the entire neighborhood. If your brush pile does not get picked up on the first day, sometimes it will move to 2nd day.
Thank you in advance for taking part in this important event to keep our neighborhood clean and safe!
