Calling Arlington residents... give your flowerbeds a jump start during 2015 with a layer of FREE mulch!

Arlington residents can pick up free mulch at Arlington Landfill, 800 Valley Road, while supplies last.

"Mulch is good flower bed ground cover. It helps prevent weeds from growing and helps soil retain moisture." said Lorrie Anderle, Arlington Recycling Coordinator.

The free mulch is a result of Arlington's Christmas tree and leaf recycling programs. Residents can stop by anytime to grab some of the mulch but will need to bring their own bags. Commercial vehicles and trucks larger than a pickup are prohibited from participating in this recycling program.

Please call the landfill at 817-354-2305 to check available supply. Visit Arlington's Garbage & Recycling webpage for more information.
