City of Hendersonville mulch/compost giveaway begins Sept. 28

Press release from City of Hendersonville:

Our seasonal mulch giveaway program is set to begin the last weekend in September. Beginning Thursday September 28th, the City will have a person on site to operate the backhoe and load the material. The mulch will be given away on Thursdays and Fridays from 3:30 PM to 7:00 PM and on Saturdays from 8:00 AM until 12:00 noon. We will continue to give away the mulch until November 4th. The location is at our old Waste Water Treatment Plant which is 80 Balfour Rd.

In addition to the mulch, the City will be offering composted leaves as a separate material. These are leaves that were collected during the fall of 2016, ran through a chipper several times, and composted for a year. This compost should be an excellent addition to your vegetable and flower gardens. For questions about this project, please call the Public Works Department at (828) 697-3084.
