Looking for mulch or compost to help build up your garden before the summer officially kicks off? Denver's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI) has you covered — literally.
DOTI will be holding their annual Mulch and Compost Giveaway on Saturday, May 4 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Denver Central Platte Campus and Havana Nursery, according to a press release from the department.
Green thumbs and local planters will be able to dig their own free mulch at the two locations until supplies run out. Partakers are asked to bring their own rake or shovel, as well as bags or containers for loading mulch and a tarp to cover their truck or trailer.
A free loader service will be available at the Havana Nursery location, helping load trucks and small one-axel trailers.
New for 2024's giveaway, compost will be available at the Denver Central Platte Campus location. Unlike the mulch giveaway, compost recipients must register for a one-use coupon through DOTI's website.
Only Denver residents are allowed to participate in the giveaway, the department said. Commercial vehicles are prohibited from taking or selling the mulch or compost, as well.
