Free Mulch Day #2 May 9 at the Bayfield Transfer Station
La Plata County will offer free wood mulch, loaded into trucks and trailers from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 9 at the Bayfield Convenience Center, 4496 County Road 223 in Bayfield.
Please remain in your vehicle at all times and in park while loading. The equipment operator can maneuver around your vehicle when you stop. If you wish to cover your mulch load, there will be space to pull forward and away from other vehicles at the loading area. Feel free to make more than one trip and dump trucks are welcome.
The Bayfield Convenience Center accepts dry, brown yard waste such as tree trimmings, slash, and tree trunks. These materials are periodically mulched and offered to residents free of charge. Traditionally, residents are required to self-load the mulch into their vehicles. However, next Thursday, La Plata County staff will be on site with heavy equipment to load trucks and trailers with wood mulch. The transfer station will be open during the free mulch-loading.
La Plata County encourages residents to take advantage of this offer to load free wood mulch. For more information or to share ideas and suggestions, please contact Leslie Jakoby at (970) 382-6376.
