<br />Planning and preparation'of informational material could begin March 1, 1989 and for. us for m,o m~'mths on
<br />outreach to sign-up residents for pa~nieipation in the program, which would continue through October 19~9. April
<br />would culminam in the commencement of the program with the sixth annual Dean-up day. Th:re would be ~
<br />mmporm")' drop-off chipping demonstration at the landfill sit:. for citizens to show the chipper technology, the.
<br />process and the product and another demonstration to panicipanu in the Arbor Day Tree Sale and Green Business
<br />Expo. From May continuing through August, up additional intcrestex:I residenm ,*'o=i~ be signed-up and there would
<br />bca focus on the implementation sequencing in the neighborhoods, aiming for one chipping day-e-wool: per
<br />neighborhood. For one neighborhood par week, ~ to 30 neighborhoods would be a eycling Lime of about 6 months
<br />from May to October. The route of cn~'-y (method to iht:res: residents to participate) will be especially through
<br />ncighborhoorl diseased tree con=o] effort, s, abatement of open burning permits, and to further on-sim yard wasm
