Mulch being given away starting today
Get some free mulch for your yard starting today.
Aiken County’s Barden Landfill has mulched 15,000 cubic yards of natural wooden storm debris and is giving it away to the public at no cost.
The giveaway, which begins today, will end on Saturday, July 18, or until the mulch is gone.
“They come in, and they load it,” said County Solid Waste Supervisor Rodney Cooper. “All they need to do is stop at the scale house and let the gate attendant know they’re there for mulch.”
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, some of the benefits of mulching include protection from soil erosion, weed growth prevention, moisture conservation and mulch helps maintain a more even soil temperature.
Landfill personnel will not load vehicles. Citizens should be prepared to load the material onto their own vehicle at their own risk. State and County law requires all loads to be secured and covered.
The Barden Landfill is located on Connector Road in Graniteville and is open Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. until 4 p.m.
In observance of Independence Day, the landfill will be closed on Saturday, July 4.
