Please don't ask us to return to your home after we have picked up on your street. We are striving to have the schedule maintained and town cleared of brush by the holiday weekend. Your cooperation is appreciated as we continue to work toward making Roselle a nice place to live. This service is funded by property taxes and is not offered to those in unincorporated area, as they pay no property tax to the Village. It insulates the soil, retains moisture, helps keep weeds down, prevents compaction, protects tree bark from lawnmowers and even adds an aesthetic touch to the yard or street.
Early spring is an excellent time to apply mulch around trees and shrubs before weed growth begins.
Free delivery can be scheduled by calling the Public Works Department at 980-2020, ext. Loads are approximately two to three cubic yards. This amount when dumped will be a pile approximately six feet long, four feet wide, and three feet high, or enough to cover an area approximately 20 x 15 feet with a three-inch deep layer of mulch. Deliveries will be made on a first call, first served basis and will depend upon availability. Participation in this program not only helps the environment and its plants, but also saves taxpayers money by not having to haul and pay to dump the mulch at a compost facility.
