The Manitowoc County Recycling Center is offering free wood mulch at the Basswood and Woodland compost site. This offer is due to a reduced demand for biomass fuel in the region and will continue until further notice. The normal charge for this material is $8 per cubic yard. The wood mulch is made from shredded brush brought in by residents. Many people use this wood mulch for a ground cover around plantings and flower beds or as a fill layer under more expensive specialty mulches.
