Interesting tidbit: Patriotic mulch


So I was at a New Year's Eve Party, talking to someone from Environmental Services and I learned this interesting tidbit. Remember all the free mulch that's available to the El Paso public from disposing of 2,000 to 4,000 real Christmas trees? Turns out nobody (or almost nobody) ever claims it. So where does it end up? Around the bases of flag poles in El Paso parks.

Now, who says green is not patriotic?

  1. Hello La Greenga,

    Off-topic: Did you ever work at a homeless shelter in Juarez? Say around 1996?

  4. Fabulous! Are you in town? If you send me a private email through the comments, I won't post it and we can talk privately.

  6. My husband picked up some Christmas tree mulch from the City and we are re-living the Holiday Season--it smells Christmas-y beautiful! The mulch is not in chip form like regular mulch, but more like shaved tree chunks intermingled with small branches with needles attached. Nonetheless, it is mulch and will help retain moisture in our soil longer. And, it was FREE!

  7. Where do you pick up the free mulch?

  8. At the Citizens' Collection Stations at 121 Atlantic (off Doniphan); 9000 Escobar @ Zaragoza; and 4501 Hondo Pass. I'd call them if I were you to see if they have any left.
