Where is Gene Millers place to drop off needles? Does he also take branches?
Thanks

Saw this in the BLSHA newsletter…

Some great news regarding where to take your pine
needles this year. Gene Miller is waiting for the delivery
of a large Curtain Burner (CB) which will be handling the
pine needles from here on out. Hope it will be ready to
operate by April 1st but this will depend on when this
equipment is delivered to Gene Miller. This is a
permanent fix for the issue of where to take pine
needles. There may be some days during fire seasons
that CAL FIRE will ask Gene not to use the CB. If there are multiple days in a row, Gene
may have to temporarily stop taking pine needles till CAL FIRE allows him to use the CB
again. Knowing this, it would be wise for all that can to get your yard work done for your
CAL FIRE Inspection date (June 1st). After this time, there very well could be days that
Gene can’t take pine needles. The first of July, Ultra Power will no longer take our material.
Gene chips and hauls to them; they are going solar we hear. So most all yard waste material
will have to be run through the CB after this date; therefore, when CAL FIRE stops Gene
from operating his CB he very well may have to close his yard for the days he is shut off
from using the CB.
