Most cities in North Texas have a similar program. Some restrict how much you can get, but they will load it with a front end loader for you. Call your city offices and ask.

J well I did check with my city but they don’t offer the mulch/compost. Wish they did but I load grass clipping bags in my truck on trash pickup days and use that as mulch and also for composting too. My garden plot is pretty small but it still takes quite a few bags with staggered pick ups during the season. All that hauling compost work keeps you young and spry my man.

Hi Johnny,

A few years back I got about 25 truck loads from Maxwell AFB, which has a large composting facility... Mandated by various green laws to compost stuff rather then throwing it out.

Well, I didn’t know to what extent Maxwell sprays all their beautiful lawns and the golf course, but they run through thousands of gallons of Round-Up and other poisons a year... I ruined a series of raised beds I made.

I also got a bad infestation of Yellow Nutsedge I am still fighting.

Free compost is great, but please, I strongly urge you to find out what it is made from and what chemicals they’ve used on the plants before grinding.
