Given the heavy damage to trees sustained over these past few months (both the windstorm and heavy, wet snow recently), the city is inundated with material for chipping. The City Department of Forestry makes mulch with it. Offered in natural color only; nothing is dyed. Available to citizens for pickup at their location(s). Thank you, to the City of Colorado Springs, for making available programs such as this one. Thank you, also, for their FireWise outreach, helping to keep citizens educated and prepared for ever present fire dangers.
Q: Where can one get free mulch?
A mulch pile is available to residents. The mulch pile is replenished randomly, so it is first-come, first-served and sometimes the bin is empty. City residents are encouraged to take as much as they need! (Not for commercial use or resale.) You will need to bring your own tools and containers for loading and transporting the mulch.
Directions to the mulch pile: take I-25 to Fontenero, Exit #144, travel east to Recreation Way, turn right onto Recreation Way and drive south to 1601 Recreation Way (big metal bldg. with Forestry Operations Center sign in front and fence around it). The free mulch pile will be on your RIGHT, across the street from the building, on the WEST side of Recreation Way.

FVTimes.com was started by me, Liz Alexander with Pink Realty. Yes, I'm in real estate. I think real estate is so much more than buying and selling homes. It's all about the lifestyle, it's about community. Here in the Fountain, Widefield, Security and Southern Colorado Springs area we have such a wonderful sense of community. I wanted a place that best reflects the people, the places and the lifestyle we call home. FountainValaleyTimes.com is that place. We want to share what makes this community of ours so special.
