Spring into the garden

With spring arriving, it is time to roll up your sleeves and get your garden looking fabulous.

Campaspe Shire Council is making it easier than ever for residents to revitalise their gardens by offering discounted delivery for loads over five cubic metres to enable those residents with small or no trailer to also access free mulch.

Residents are already able to collect free mulch from Colbinabbin, Echuca, Gunbower, Mt Scobie (Kyabram), Lockington and Rushworth resource recovery centres while stocks last.

Perfect for retaining moisture, suppressing weeds and enriching your soil, mulch is made from green waste that’s been shredded on-site at council resource recovery centres, helping you improve your garden in an environmentally friendly way.

To seek a quote for mulch delivery, visit the Now Open section of council’s website at www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/mulchdelivery
