I know Claremore has free mulch for residents, do you know if Tulsa does and where this is avaliable?

Tulsa has free mulch seven days a week at its greenwaste site. The location is 56th street north, just west of 169 highway. Here is a map.

Citizens of Tulsa can drop off limbs and tree debris any day from 9 to 4 free of charge and pick up mulch for free.

The city is getting way more coming in than going out because of spring storms. We have used lots of it as an addition to our garden and others I know have used lots of it to change drainage on their property, even building a temporary road through a wet spot on their property.
Power is nothing till you use it.

I've always had a paradigm about the free mulch attracting insects or already being infested with it.  Can you assuage my fears?

I much prefer the look of cedar and it's known for repelling insects.

There was some Cedar in Claremore, it was like having scented mulch, very posh.

I've never had a problem with mulch and insects.

Termites like wood.  Ground up wood in the beds against my house= bad idea.  Far as I know termites turn up their little noses at cedar.
