Free leaf compost and untreated wood chips.
Georgetown Public Works is giving Scott County residents free leaf compost and untreated wood chips during a seasonal pickup program. This is a free materials program that can help with low-combustible landscaping and defensible space work.
Program details
How it works
The City of Georgetown announced that Georgetown Public Works is offering free leaf compost and untreated wood chips to Scott County residents.
Timing
The city announcement says the program runs beginning April 11, 2026 and continuing through November. It is available on the first Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to noon, weather permitting.
Where to get it
The pickup location listed by the city is the Community Garden on Barkley Lane.
What the money covers
No cash is provided. The benefit is free compost and untreated wood chips.
Why it matters for hardening
Untreated wood chips and compost can be used in yard maintenance and defensible-space style landscaping. The official announcement does not explicitly say this is a wildfire program, so that connection is an inference based on the material offered.
