Residents looking to improve their gardens or landscaping projects will have an opportunity to access free mulch through a Hinchinbrook Shire Council initiative beginning this month.

Council is making mulch available to residents for personal household use, with stockpiles created from local tree maintenance activities and contractor works across the region. The initiative provides an opportunity for the community to reuse organic material while helping residents with gardening and property maintenance needs.

‍

The mulch will be available for collection from the Lucinda BMX Track at 1–7 Dungeness Road, Lucinda, from Tuesday, 19th May through to Tuesday, 26th May. Collection hours will operate daily, including weekends, from 7:00am until 5:00pm.

Council has advised that the mulch is being provided as-is and, like any recycled organic material, may contain natural debris including leaves, seeds and other organic matter. Residents are asked to collect and use the material at their own discretion.

‍

Those wishing to collect mulch will need to load their own trailers or vehicles and should ensure they bring suitable equipment for loading. Residents are also reminded that access to the site is at their own risk, children must remain supervised at all times and all on-site signage and safety directions should be followed.

The free mulch is available strictly for personal use and commercial collection will not be permitted. Supply will also be limited to available stock and offered on a first come, first served basis, with entry gates only open during the advertised collection period.
