Mulch Giveaway & Compost Sale

Pick up FREE mulch produced from the Treecycle program and purchase discounted compost made from the leaves collected through Denver LeafDrop.  The FREE Mulch Giveaway & Compost Sale is a one-day event takes place on May 4, 2013 and is a great way to save on your landscaping upkeep.  Both mulch and compost can help your soil retain moisture, and compost provides needed nutrients.

Grass Trimmings / Grass Clippings 

Lose the Bag and Leave the Grass Clippings on the Lawn!  Mulching grass clippings rather than bagging them is the natural way to a beautiful lawn. Called Grasscycling, more and more residents are choosing to recycle the natural way and leave their grass trimmings on their lawns. Doing so helps enrich the soil beneath your lawn, because clippings decay rapidly and return valuable nutrients and water to the soil without any additional costs to you.

Leaves

Small amounts of leaves can be mulched by digging them into lawns and gardens. However, leaves should not be raked or swept into the street because street sweepers cannot pick up large amounts of leaves. Leaves left in gutters can clog storm drains, leading to drainage problems and flooding after rain or snow storms. 

In the fall, excess leaves can be recycled through the city's annual LeafDrop program.
