Salt Spring Island Fire Rescue (SSIFR) is once again offering its Christmas tree chipping service.
On Sunday, Jan. 5 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., SSIFR personnel will be on hand at the Central Fire Hall (#3) with a contracted chipper to grind up islanders’ trees, ensuring they don’t become a fire hazard if they are not safely disposed of.
Please note that trees will not be accepted outside of the four-hour period on Jan. 5, and they must be free of decorations, lights, tinsel and stands.
The service is offered by donation (with a $10 suggested amount).
