All Tiburon and Belvedere residents can drive their vegetation cuttings and “slash” to be piled for chipper removal courtesy of Tiburon Fire Prevention Staff & Town of Tiburon Public Works equipment.  Vehicles are to dump the cuttings in the assigned area with direction from staff and only need to indicate the address from where the cut vegetation was removed.  This information is used to track compliance efforts and target tonnage removal.
