Chipper Rebate Program

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 southwest 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.

Funding for Archuleta and La Plata County is generously funded by La Plata County Electric Association
