Mulch: Free mulch and discounted compost will be available to Denver residents at Denver Recycles’ annual Mulch Giveaway and Compost Sale. This event generally takes place the first Saturday in May. Information on this event locations and times are available after April 1st each year.
The mulch for this event is made from thousands of Christmas trees and branches. The trees and branches are ground to make mulch that is perfect for ground cover in your yard. The supply of Christmas trees comes from residents that recycled their tree in January through Denver’s annual Treecycle program. Mulch can be used to control weeds, help soil retain moisture and protect shallow-rooted plants from weather extremes. |
