Tree Mulch Now Available

Tree mulch is now available free of charge to Lincoln residents at Hofeling Enterprises, 2200 South Folsom Court. This year, the City tree recycling program collected about 3,660 trees. Since the program began in 1987, the City has recycled more than 186,645 trees.

"I want to thank residents for recycling their trees again this year" said Gene Hanlon, City Recycling Coordinator. "The success of the tree recycling program depends on community cooperation and the support of several other organizations." This is the second year that Hofeling Enterprises has donated grinding services for the trees deposited at the seven collection sites in the City. Members of the Lincoln Solid Waste Management Association collected trees at the curb, and the City Parks and Recreation Department set up and monitored the collection sites.

Hofeling Enterprises will continue to distribute tree mulch during normal business hours (7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.) at no cost on a first come, first served basis while the supply lasts.

Citizens who have questions about the City's tree recycling program can call the recycling hot-line at 441-8215, or visit the City Web site at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: recycle).
