The City of Olympia Waste ReSources program is taking reservations for free 2 hour neighborhood wood chipping events. Times are available on Saturdays Feb 9 - May 24.
Turn woody debris into valuable chips for landscaping, mulching, and composting. The City will arrange for a chipper and a two-person crew to come to your neighborhood for two hours of free wood chipping. The resultant chips are left on site for residents to use. Chipping events are scheduled for groups of four or more households that are on City of Olympia garbage service.

And let them fall where they may

Nice program. Out here in GH County, they just start a burn pile, get out the lawn chairs and beer, and that's good for a whole afternoon of entertainment.
