Leonardtown, MD – Feb. 3 The Department of Public Works & Transportation is once again sponsoring its โ€œFree Mulchโ€ program while supplies last. County residents may pick up mulch free of charge at the St. Andrewโ€™s Landfill.

Mulch is now available between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday.ย  The St. Andrewโ€™s Landfill is closed on Sundays.ย 

Citizens are responsible for loading and transporting of the mulch and are asked to bring a shovel, pitchfork or similar hand tool to load the mulch. Covering the load with a tarp prior to transporting is recommended to minimize material from blowing off the vehicle.ย 

If assistance is required, special needs exist or additional information is requested, please contact the Department of Public Works & Transportation at 301-863-8400. Additional Recycling/Solid Waste Program information is available on the web at http://www.co.saint-marys.md.us/dpw/.
