Got Leaves? Donate Them to Bobcat Blend

Once again, the City of San Marcos Resource Recovery program and Texas State University’s Bobcat Blend Composting program are offering San Marcos residents a way to dispose of leaves for free while diverting them from the landfill.

Bobcat Blend is collecting leaves at the parking lot of the Grant Harris Building at 401 E Hopkins until March 31.  Leaves and grass clippings can be brought in plastic or paper bags and deposited in the cage trailer. The leaves will be used by the program to make compost.

Leaves should be free of trash or other non-biodegradable materials.  Large branches should not be included since the program does not have a means to grind up large branches.

For those wishing to dispose of brush and branches, the next monthly brush drop off will be April 9.  Residents can bring all yard waste, including large branches and stumps, to 750 River Road from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
