Mulch

Mulch that has been removed from a garden can sometimes be composted. An internet search of “composting” will provide instructions for different composting methods and what materials are compostable. 

If you do not choose to compost used mulch, or if the used mulch is contaminated with disease pathogens, fungi or bacteria, it can be disposed of in your regular trash or at the York County Resource Recovery Center (YCRRC). Click here for information on the YCRRC rates and hours.
