Getting the garden ready for spring? Free mulch is available for residents to pick up from Eurobodalla's waste facilities.
Council's waste services manager Nathan Ladmore said the free mulch program was a practical way to reuse garden waste collected across the shire.
"Around 3,100 cubic metres of mulch is produced every three months, which is a lot of garden waste being put to good use instead of going to landfill," Mr Ladmore said.
"The green waste is shredded and mulched, then regularly turned and watered until it reaches the temperature needed for pasteurisation. We also test the mulch for contaminants such as glass and plastic before it is made available to the community."
Mulch is currently available from Surf Beach, Brou and Moruya waste facilities.
Residents can collect mulch during normal opening hours. Make sure your loads are covered before you leave the site.
