Mulch
*UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE*
Mulch will not be available from the Athens Public Works Department. We are currently taking brush to a subcontractor and are no longer mulching collected brush at the Public Works location on Alford Street.
Have
you ever wondered where all the brush and leaves go that are
collected by the City? They are stock piled at Public Works
until the "Chipper" returns. The Chipper comes once
a month and grinds the brush into mulch that is provided free
of charge to the public.
To receive a load of mulch is simple:
- Call to see if Public Works will be loading on that
particular day
- Bring your vehicle and a tarp to Public Works at 2:50 PM
- Come in to the office to sign in
- State if you need wood mulch or leaf mulch
- After loaded, clean off excess mulch from bumper and
side rails
- Secure tarp over the mulch (Police will write tickets
to anyone with a load not covered)
- Please no dump trucks, nursery vendors, or landscaping
contractors
- This mulch is free to the public and should not be used
for resale purposes in anyway
If you have questions, please call Public Works
at (423) 744-2745 or email publicworks@cityofathenstn.com.
If you send an email or you receive an answer
machine, please give your name, address, and phone
number.
