City of Jacksonville - Clean up day
Each year Jacksonville participates in Wildfire Community Preparedness Day, a national campaign where people come together to raise awareness and reduce wildfire risks. Our city is vulnerable to wildfires due to many homes situated in the urban-wildland interface, in close proximity to woodlands and forested land.
Jacksonville’s Wildfire Community Preparedness Day will be held on Saturday, May 4th from 9 am to 2 pm in the D Street Parking lot.
Citizens may bring branches and other vegetation to be chipped and disposed of. Two dumpsters will be available, one for small vegetation debris, and one for debris that needs to be chipped. Members of the Jacksonville Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) coordinate and manage the event in conjunction with the Jacksonville Fire Department. This event is open to residents of City of Jacksonville and funding for this event was provided by Oregon State Fire Marshalls office.
This is an invaluable opportunity to dispose of branches, dead trees, and dead shrubs found on your property. Removing dead vegetation in close proximity to your home and pruning tree limbs so that the lowest branches are 6 to 10 feet above the ground will help protect your home in the advent of wildfire.
