Chipper Rebate Program

 

Wildfire Adapted Partnership’s (WAP) Chipper Rebate Program encourages the chipping of slash from wildfire mitigation conducted on any privately-owned property in Archuleta County in Colorado. WAP will reimburse homeowners 50% of the cost, up to $250 maximum. A Home or Property Owners Association, Metropolitan or Road District or similar entity may sponsor a chipping day for residents. These organizations can get reimbursed up to 50% of the cost, with a $1,500 maximum reimbursement. You may choose to rent a chipper yourself or hire a mitigation company to provide chipping services, assuming all requirements are met.

 

The program is valid for chipping conducted starting May 1, 2025 and closes on September 30, 2025.

 

Note: For 2025, WAP only has available grant funding for the Chipper Program within Archuleta County and will not accept applications from those living in other counties. If there are changes in funding, updates will be made to our website.
