Overwhelming response at tree recycling 2008

Thank you!

More than 700 Christmas trees were recycled at the Brush Recycling Center this year as part of the 2008 recycle drive. We broke a one-day record with 436 trees recycled in one day, compared to last year's 366.

While you may have missed the drive, residents, you can still recycle your tree at the Center.Any resident can drop off a "small load" of up to 2 cubic yards (approx a pick-up truck load) for free any time. Non-residents and contractors are charged a $15 fee.

Thanks for recycling and helping keep trees out of our landfills. Did you know we turn those trees into that FREE mulch we give away to residents?

Stay warm with free firewood at the Brush Recycling Center

Free firewood is now available for Round Rock residents at the City of Round Rock Brush Recycling Center, 310 Deepwood Drive, while supplies last. Now, in addition to the free mulch, residents benefit from free firewood! The wood and logs are in an “as is” rugged condition. In several instances, residents will need to cut and/or split the wood themselves. The logs are available for non-commercial use by Round Rock citizens. Chainsaws may not be used at the Brush Recycling Center, however residents are free to take the wood home to prepare it themselves. Residents need to be prepared to load their own firewood supply into their vehicle. The Brush Recycling Center is open on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday – Saturday from 9 am – 6 pm and closed Wednesday and Sunday. Call 512-218-5540 for more information.

Get Your Mulch

Did you know that mulch retains water, therefore, allowing you to conserve water and save money? Well, forgive my lack of lawn care knowledge, but I had no idea! I assumed is was an aesthetic feature. Turns out, mulch can be an effective way to save water and ultimately save you money this summer. We have already seen temperatures breaking record high's and the heat is just going to increase as we get into July and August.

Good news is, the City of Round Rock offers free mulch to the community! Yep, all you have to do is bring your utility bill to the Recycling Center, 310 Deepwood Drive (across from the Micki Krebsbach Swimming Pool), and you can fill up as much as one truck bed full of mulch. If you live outside the City of Round Rock you can still get mulch for only $15 a load (not too shabby).

So go grab some mulch from the Recycling Center and fill me in on what you think.
