People in Campbell County can get free mulch. A truck full of mulch costs about $30 and most yards will need more than one load. But, thanks to Campbell County Public Works, citizens can collect all the mulch they want at the Livestock Road Transfer Site (361 Livestock Road, Rustburg, VA 24588). You have to load it yourself and will need to bring your own tools, such as pitchforks. It’s made from grinding yard waste that’s processed and recycled.
