Popular compost and mulch sale returns for 2024
Between May 6 and May 25 the County of Simcoe is again offering its popular compost and mulch sale at all County waste facilities.
Severn residents can purchase compost for use in gardens to add nutrients, or as top dressing for lawns to help retain moisture. The compost is produced in-house using leaf and yard waste material generated throughout the County of Simcoe's Yard Waste program. Learn more about how the County uses your yard waste to make compost.
Compost sales are self-service, and residents should bring their shovels to load bins, truck beds, or trailers. Cost is $5 per carload or $20 per truck or trailer load, while quantities last.
Mulch is also available while quantities last at County waste facilities. Mulch can be applied to soil surfaces, around trees, paths, flower beds, slopes and erosion prone areas, and as top dressing for flower and vegetable gardens. Mulch retains moisture, regulates soil temperatures, and can suppress weed growth.
