Got Leaves? Donate Them To Bobcat Blend For Composting

Posted by Staff | @CorridorNews | @Corridor_Sports

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, 401 E. Hopkins, from Dec. 22, 2014 until Jan. 9, 2015. Leaves and grass clippings can be brought in trash bags or paper bags and deposited in the cage trailer.

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

Bobcat Blend will use the leaves to make compost, which is used in landscaping on campus and in local community gardens.

Residents will also be able to bring leaves to the City’s monthly brush drop off on Jan. 10, 2015.  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 Amy Kirwin, Solid Waste Coordinator, at akirwin@sanmarcostx.gov or 512. 393.8407 or contact Dr. Tina Marie (Waliczek) Cade at tc10@txstate.edu or at 512.245.3324.
