The City of Fort Collins Forestry Division will provide free wood mulch to residents of the Fort Collins community on Saturday, April 19 from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. at 1380 Hoffman Mill Road.

Loading assistance will be provided onsite by City personnel using a front-end loader. During the loading process, residents should remain in their vehicle to maintain safe operations. Visitors should bring their own open-top vehicle or trailer and will be responsible for covering their loads upon departure from the facility.

Please note, this offer is not available to commercial businesses.

Access to enter the event will only be permitted from northbound Lemay Avenue. Visitors should follow all traffic laws and event signage. Do not idle or park on the railroad tracks while in line. Long lines and wait times should be expected. Afternoon wait times are typically shorter than in the morning. 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 Gardens on Spring Creek.
