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 divert leaves from the landfill.

Bobcat Blend is collecting leaves at the parking lot of the Grant Harris Building at 401 E Hopkins. Leaves and grass clippings can be brought in trash or paper bags and deposited in the cage trailer that will be in place Nov. 2-18.

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. The leaves will be used by the program to make compost.

The monthly brush drop off will be Nov. 12. Residents can bring all yard waste, including large branches and stumps, to 750 River Road from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

For more information, please contact Dr. Tina Marie (Waliczek) Cade at tc10@txstate.edu or at 512.245.3324, or Amy Kirwin, Community Enhancement Initiatives Manager, at akirwin@sanmarcostx.gov or 512.393.8407.
