Got Leaves? Donate Them To Bobcat Blend

Once again, the City of San Marcos Solid Waste and Recycling 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 through April 8, 2015. Leaves and grass clippings can be brought in plastic trash bags or in paper bags and deposited in the cage trailer.

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

Residents will also have an opportunity to dispose of yard waste at the City’s monthly brush drop off on April 11. Residents can bring all yard waste, including large branches and stumps, to 750 River Road from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
