The City of San Antonio Solid Waste Management Department has announced that they will be providing free compost to residents. The offer begins on February 28 at the Bitters Brush Recycling Center on Wurzbach Parkway. The City has emphasized that the compost will be available only while supplies last.
Customers interested in obtaining the free compost should note that there are restrictions in place. Each person will be limited to one truckload of compost due to the limited quantities available. For those without a truck, the City has made provisions for them to bring bags or containers to transport the compost.
In line with safety protocols, all loads of compost must be covered with a tarp during transportation. Additionally, customers are strongly advised to wear a safety vest while at the site.
The free compost being offered is sourced from the City's green cart program and is made possible through a partnership with Atlas Organics. For those wishing to purchase additional compost, they can do so directly from Atlas Organics at their location on Nelson Road.
It is important to note that the City and its partners will not be held liable for any damage to vehicles or injuries sustained by attendees during the compost distribution event. The Solid Waste Management Department of the City operates several drop-off centers for bulky items, in addition to the Bitters Brush Recycling Center.
Residents are encouraged to visit SArecycles.org for more information on the locations of these drop-off centers.
