Compost Is Here!

Well, we have a giant pile of compost in the front parking lot, so it must mean that Earth Day is almost here. Compost is for our residents to use for their spring planting - bring your own buckets and shovels, take what you need and leave plenty for your neighbors.

Join us on April 20th to celebrate Earth Day - come learn something that you can use all year long to effect the change our planet needs. Shop at the garage sale, make fun things to take home, eat yummy food and see friends and neighbors.

We're sending out the newsletter early, since were busy setting up for the big day. Wishing you a wonderful weekend - enjoy the sun!

Have a wonderful weekend!

The Marin Chipper Program is Back!

The Marin Wildfire Prevention Authority is happy to announce that the Chipper Program has returned for 2024. The program provides for the curbside pickup, chipping, and disposal of vegetation material from residential properties. This service is funded by Measure C for wildfire prevention and is available to all residents within Marin Wildfire’s joint powers service area.

During the 2023 season, the program completed over 4,400 pickups and removed over 14,200 cubic yards of vegetation from residential properties. 90% of participants rated their experience a 5 out of 5.

The 2024 program is returning with a similar schedule as last year, along with a few new features that will improve the participant experience.
