Free Mulch Day

The City of Fort Collins Forestry Division will provide free wood mulch to residents of the Fort Collins community on Saturday, May 9. If the event is cancelled due to inclement weather, Free Mulch Day will be pushed back to Saturday, May 16.

Loading assistance will be provided onsite by City personnel using a front-end loader. Visitors should bring their own open-top vehicle or trailer and will be responsible for covering their loads upon departure from the facility. For safety reasons, residents should stay in their vehicles during the loading process. Please note, this offer is not available to commercial businesses.

Access to enter the event will only be permitted from northbound Lemay Avenue. Long lines and wait times should be expected in the morning. Afternoon wait times are typically shorter. To exit the event, visitors must make a right turn from Poudre River Drive to northbound Lemay Avenue. 

If you are unable to attend the Free Mulch Day event, two self-load sites are available throughout the year at Timberline Recycling Center and the Gardens on Spring Creek.
