Free mulch available at Gladstone Waste Transfer Station
Free mulch is now available from the Gladstone Waste Transfer Station on Joe Joseph Drive until 9 December.
Gladstone Regional Council is taking a safety-first approach by reducing the holdings of green waste after a recent fire at the Benaraby Landfill.
Gladstone Region Councillor Rick Hansen said mulch is being offered on a ‘first in, best dressed’ basis, with no load limits and free mechanical loading for community members.
“Residents are reminded that utes and trailers are recommended for collecting mulch and all loads must be covered before leaving the facility,” Councillor Hansen said.
“The free mulch is for residential customers only and Council asks that customers wear enclosed shoes when collecting it for personal safety.
“Using mulch not only helps plant growth but is a positive ‘water wise’ strategy to reduce moisture loss.”
The conditions of sale for mulch to commercial customers remain unchanged.
