What happens to the mulch that is generated from the brush chipping program?
The mulch, which is ideal for placing around planting areas, walk paths, and other uses, is offered free of charge to area residents. Residents may pick up the mulch at the Street Department garage, 1815 Eagle St. (located directly behind Ring Lardner Junior High School), Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. Residents must provide the necessary tools and containers. At various times the City will provide Saturday morning hours. Announcements will be made in the Niles Daily Star and on radio station WNIL-AM.
