City residents can load up on free mulch, compost

By Nancy Waclawek, Published: March 3, 2017

Hendersonville’s annual mulch and compost giveaway is under way. A backhoe operator will be on site to help load the material at the old wastewater treatment plant at 80 Balfour Rd. Hours are 3:30 to 7 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. The giveaway continues through May 13 or until all of the material is gone. The leaves in the compost were collected during the fall of 2015, run through a chipper several times and composted for a year. It should be an excellent addition to vegetable and flower gardens. For questions about this project, please call the Public Works Department at (828) 697-3084.
