The City of San Luis Obispo Public Works’ Tree Division is sponsoring a woodchip and firewood giveaway at 25 Prado Road, City of San Luis Obispo Corporation Yard, on July 24 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. or until wood chips are gone.

The wood rounds and rough wood chips are generated from various tree trimming activities within the City of San Luis Obispo. This green waste recycling program is for residential use only — please, no contractors or retailers.

City staff will be on site to assist with loading of pickup trucks and small trailers. Residents are encouraged to bring smaller containers to fill themselves and are asked to follow the directional signs at 25 Prado Road to the loading area.  

Donations will be accepted to help cover future Arbor Day activities and tree plantings within San Luis Obispo’s Urban Forest.

For more information, contact Urban Forester, Ron Combs at (805) 781-7023 or Maintenance Supervisor, Keith Pellemeier at (805) 781-7022.
