Mulch and Compost



The yard trim we collect is processed into mulch and compost, which is available for sale at the HWDC Mulch and Compost Facility Monday-Saturday 7:00 a.m. - 2:45 p.m. See the chart below for current availability.

  • The cost for both mulch and compost is $10 per cubic yard. (Most full size pickups can handle up to 3 cubic yards of mulch or 2 cubic yards of compost depending on the size of the pickup truck bed. Never load more than what is reasonable or what your vehicle is specified to carry).
  • Harford County residents may self-load up to three (3) 30-gallon containers/bags of mulch or compost for FREE. Please bring your own shovels of pitch forks.
