Free Mulch
Fort Worth residents may pick up free mulch at any of the three drop-off stations. Piles are clearly labeled, and are self-serve. Bring a sturdy container and a shovel. If you use a pickup truck, you must use a tarp to cover the load to prevent litter while driving. Mulch protects plants from temperature extremes, deters weed growth and helps retain moisture so you can water less often.
Swap Shop
Swap Shops are setup at each drop-off station to provide residents an opportunity to shop for free. Residents can bring reusable items such as bicycles, books, useable lumber and other construction materials, furniture, garden tools/equipment, exercise equipment, etc. to any Drop-off station for re-use by other residents.
Drop-off station staff will make final determination for acceptance into the Swap Shop. Although items can be dropped off and taken at no cost, residents are required to sign a liability waiver before utilizing the shop.
