City offers free mulch to residents

Residents of San Marcos will be able to access free mulch at three open access locations across the City.

Due to the collaborative efforts of the City of San Marcos Resource Recovery, Parks and Recreation and Stormwater Management departments, free mulch will be available at Dunbar Park, Archie Street, and Del Sol. Normally, mulch is only available during a monthly Brush Drop-Off.

“We realize only having the mulch available for residents one Saturday per month for a limited time isn’t convenient for most people,” Community Enhancement Initiatives Manager Amy Kirwin said in a press release. “Our hope is that utilizing these locations will help more people access the mulch and help keep their gardens beautiful.”
