The mulch, produced from yard waste collected by the city over recent months, will be available while supplies last. The event may end early if the mulch is depleted, according to [the city announcement](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/news/mulch-giveaway-saturday-sept-19). Residents should enter the site via Jimmie Campbell Drive and follow posted signs to the pickup location. The giveaway is part of the city's [regular mulch giveaway program](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/living/waste-collection/mulch-giveaway), which aims to divert yard waste from landfills and provide residents with a free soil amendment for landscaping and gardening projects. The mulch is composted from leaves, grass clippings, and other organic materials collected through the city's waste management system. Residents are encouraged to bring their own containers or bags to transport the mulch. The Division of Waste Management recommends arriving early to ensure availability, particularly given the limited supply and set time window for the event. ## Sources - [LFUCG General News](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/news/mulch-giveaway-saturday-sept-19) - [LFUCG mulch giveaway program information](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/living/waste-collection/mulch-giveaway) --- This article was generated by AI (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) based on source material from LFUCG General News.
