The event will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. City staff may suspend or stop the event at any time due to supply or safety concerns and the city does not guarantee the quality or composition of the materials.
A limited supply of partially decayed stump grindings will also be available.
Mulch and grindings must be hand loaded only. Loading assistance will not be provided. Equipment, commercial vehicles such as dump trucks and marked commercial trucks or trailers are prohibited.
Additional giveaways will be orchestrated based on mulch availability and community interest.
