Syracuse Area Compost/Mulch

21 years ago

Does anybody have a recomendation for free municipal mulch and/or compost? I have checked out Dewitt's and the one by the Jamesville Reservoir (maybe onondaga cnty facility?).

Are there other municipalities that give away free mulch/compost in the area? Any recomendations? Any that will load with a bucket loader? Thanks

I don't know if you ever come out to Utice or Rome, but each of them offer finished compost. I have got 2 truckloads past summer, and it is good stuff. 10 bucks for a small truck, 15 for a full size. They load with a bobcat. and each time i had fiancees truck, they didnt come close to scratching or anyting like that. Both are at the respective waste treatment plants. In Rome it is on Old River Road between Rome and Floyd. In Utica is down N Genny st, turn at Babes Macaroni. I cant think of the name of the road right now. But it is at the end of the road.

Sorry, I made a mistake. It is not the respective munies, it is the Oneida-Herkimer solid waste authority, in case you are looking for them in the phone book.

Thanks. Little bit of a ride but if I can fill up a good sized trailer for cheap - it'll be worth it. Thanks again.
