GreenCycle Mulch
Need Mulch for Your Garden or Landscaping?
The Transfer Station provides mulch made from clean yard waste collected from residents, local programs, and contractors. Yard waste is chipped, aged, and naturally decomposed. During this process, heat surge “fixes” the organic material, making it safe for landscapes while reducing pests, pathogens, and viable weed seeds. This program highlights eco-friendly recycling of yard waste and connects directly to the natural life cycle of plants and materials in Pitt County.

Why Choose Recycled Mulch?
The resulting mulch can be blended with native soils as a natural amendment to improve plant and crop growth. It also helps soil retain moisture and prevent erosion.

- Eco-Friendly: Reuses local yard waste that would otherwise be landfilled, reducing disposal needs and supporting the natural life cycle of materials.
- Soil Health: Adds organic matter that helps soil retain moisture, reduce erosion, and naturally improve plant growth.
