Free mulch event Saturday

Claremont's tree maintenance contractor is offering free mulch to residents this Saturday. The event takes place at Blaisdell Park beginning at 6 a.m.

Mulch helps to conserve water and limits the amount of waste sent to the landfill. The mulch will be available on a first-come, first serve basis. Residents are asked to bring equipment to transport the mulch.

Blaisdell Park is located at 440 S. College Ave. For more information contact the community services department at 399-5431.
