      County Sponsors Mulch Giveaway Event 
           
      LARGO, MD - In conjunction with the County Executive's Livable Communities Initiative, the Prince George's County Department of Environmental Resources (DER) invites County citizens and residents to pick up free mulch at the Mulch Giveaway on Saturday, April 29, and Sunday, April 30, 2006. 

      The two-day event will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Western Branch Composting Facility located at 6601 S.E. Crain Highway in Upper Marlboro (from Crain Highway, proceed on Maude Savoy Brown Road and follow the Visitors' Center signs to the Facility).  In addition to receiving free mulch, participants may also tour the Visitors' Center to learn more about the composting process and the County's recycling programs.

      The Mulch Giveaway is restricted to non-commercial vehicles, ¾ ton maximum weight.  A skid loader will be available to load mulch into residents' pickup trucks.  Residents loading mulch into their cars will need to bring their own containers and tools.

      DER received an overwhelming response to the Mulch Giveaway held this past September.  Over 200 vehicles drove to the site to pick up over 270 cubic yards of mulch.

      For more information on the Mulch Giveaway, contact the Waste Management Division at      (301) 883-5045.
