Fuel prices skyrocket!

As you may have noticed recently, the price of fuel has jumped up considerable! However unlike our competitors, Wee Chip Cowichan is very pleased to announce that we will NOT be raising our rates.

We feel that if we use good fuel management and keep our equipment in top operating condition, we will be able to hold our prices as they are for the foreseeable future.

We believe that it’s important for the environment that our customers chip their material and not burn. We also realize that we need to keep it affordable in order for our customers to be able to continue to use our service.

Did you know that renting a DIY chipper can be very dangerous!

Chippers, especially the kind and size that we operate, can be very dangerous machines. Lives and limbs have been lost because of a lack of training and understanding of how these machines work and what can and cannot be done with them. Accidents happen and they happen very quickly with devastating results.

Renting a chipper without the proper training can be like playing Russian roulette!

When you rent a chipper you’ll have to sign a Liability Waiver, go through a very quick lesson on the machine, usually from someone with no experience, and you will need a tow vehicle to move the machine.

Hiring a trained professional just makes sense!

At Wee Chip Cowichan, we have gone through all the training for the proper operation of various sizes of chippers. We are Work Safe BC Certified, Bonded and Insured. We have had the training required for the safe use and operating procedures for these machines. We know what can and cannot be safely done.

So why rent a chipper when it’s far safer to let Wee Chip Cowichan do the work!

Forget about renting and chancing an injury, call Wee Chip Cowichan. In most cases we can do the job a lot cheaper! Did you know that our services include clean up, the hauling away of all the cuttings and provides the highest standard of safety.

Before You Call Wee Chip Cowichan

Proper preparation of waste greenery and stacking saves you money!

We get calls that sound something like this all the time,

Customer: “Hi, can you come over and chip a big pile of branches?”
Wee Chip: “How big is the pile? Is it the size of a small car or the size of a large pickup truck?”
Customer: “Somewhere in between?”
Wee Chip: “Is it hand piled or machine piled?”
Customer: “I don’t know my spouse did it!”
Wee Chip: “Does it look like a bonfire or a neatly stacked pile of sticks?”
Customer: “Um…(silence)”

At this point, I tell people that the better stacked the pile is, the faster I can chip it and the more money they will save.

So remember, if their greenery pile looks like a large unruly bonfire, it is going to cost them more money, then if it looks like a neatly stacked pile of branches and greenery all facing the same direction. A little preparation and the proper stacking of waste material will always save you money!

At Wee Chip Cowichan, we understand that not everyone works Monday to Friday, so we try our very best to accommodate our customers when it comes to working on Saturdays or Sundays.
