Why use Mulch and Compost from us?


         Pricing for Compost and Mulch   

Finished Compost: $20/cy – Available at all Full-Service Drop-Off Centers. Compost is beneficial for the land in many ways, including as a soil conditioner, a fertilizer and as a natural pesticide for soil.  Our stock is tested regularly to ensure it is weed seed and pathogen free. 

        • Compost (1-29 cubic yards)                                                                                    $18.65/yd3
        • Compost (30-99 cubic yards)                                                                                  $18.00/yd3
        • Compost (100-499 cubic yards)                                                                              $16.50/yd3
        • Select Hardwood Mulch: $13.99/cy – Only available at Compost Central location. This is wood “stick” mulch that has been run through our hammer-mill system two times.  It is less stringy than single hammered mulch and is great for plant bedding.  

        • Single Hammer Mulch: $10/cy Available at all Full-Service Drop-Off Centers. A chunkier product than the Double Hammered.
        • Wood Nuggets: $13.50/cy – Only available at Compost Central location. The deep dark brown "woodchip like" by-product of our compost screening process.
        • Bagged Compost$3.65/1 ft.3 - Only available at Compost Central & Foxhole locations. Our already fantastic compost material, but bagged and ready to go.

        • Dyed mulch coming Spring 2023
