We still have mulch and leaf compost available for purchase. Stock up now while supplies last!

Single-ground mulch and leaf compost can be purchased at the City’s Yard Waste Facility, located at 310 Cloninger Mill Road NE, off N.C. 127 near the Lake Hickory bridge. Weather permitting, the facility is open Fridays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

These landscaping materials are created from yard waste collected by City crews throughout the year—mulch from brush and compost from leaves gathered during the City’s loose‑leaf collection program. Both products are available for $25 per 3‑yard scoop, approximately enough to fill a full‑size pickup truck.

Applying mulch helps plants retain moisture, reduce evaporation, and stay healthier during dry spells—making it a valuable resource for gardeners and homeowners as the area continues to experience drought conditions.

Supplies are limited and will be sold on a first‑come, first‑served basis.

For more information, please contact Hickory Public Services at 828‑323‑7500.
