If you're looking to really get your garden on point or to make your walkways the envy of the neighborhood, Lewisville has just the thing for you – free mulch, and who doesn't love a good freebie, especially after the wallet-emptying holiday season? The city's already been churning up Christmas cheer into something greener and more lasting. The mulch, created from the holiday's past prime Christmas trees, is up for grabs at the Lewisville Lake Park soccer fields located near Lake Park Road and North Mill Street, according to an announcement from the City of Lewisville.
Residents are encouraged to quickly come by and load up on this free organic bounty anytime through the end of the month. For those looking to potentially avoid some of the mess, it wouldn't hurt to bring along a tarp or some sturdy bags. Running until January 31, folks can help themselves and help the city to not just reduce waste, but to turn it into something useful for their homes and neighborhoods. This program is brought to you courtesy of Keep Lewisville Beautiful and Lewisville Parks and Recreation.
Now, before you start thinking this is merely a convenient way to dispose of old Tannenbaums, it's actually part of a bigger picture – the “Sustainability” Big Move in the Lewisville 2025 vision plan. For residents looking to dig a little deeper into what Lewisville aims to become in the not-so-distant future, the full plan is publicly accessible online and outlines the city's commitment to sustainability.
