The Prince George’s County Department of Environmental Resources’ (DER) Waste Management Group will sponsor a free Mulch Giveaway for County citizens and residents on Saturday, April 16, 2011. The one-day event will take place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Prince George’s County Yard Waste Composting Facility (Western Branch) located at 6601 S.E. Crain Highway in Upper Marlboro (from Crain Highway, proceed on Maude Savoy Brown Road and follow the Visitors’ Center signs to the facility).

 

The Mulch Giveaway is restricted to non-commercial vehicles, ¾ ton maximum weight. A skid loader is available to load mulch into residents’ pickup trucks. Residents loading mulch into their cars will need to bring their own containers and tools. The mulch will be available until the supply runs out.
