    Hi Boardsies!
    My brother told me last weekend that you could get chipped/mulched bark for free from the Mungret recycling centre.
    Now he is prone to exaggeration sometimes and I'm just wondering if anyone here knows what the actual score is?
    Can this be gotten free from there?
    Whats the story with it?

    Yes it is free,go with a trailer and a few shovels and fill it, you can take as many loads as you like, if the container is empty just ask them to fill it if they have some mulched. just tell them at the gate your getting some mulch and your free in:)

    anyone know if they still give out the free chipped/mulched bark at Mungret recycling centre?

    Is it good quality stuff or is there a risk it could be riddled with weeds?

    it will generally always be there even more so during summer when they are trying to get rid of it. It can be hit and miss really with quality, sometimes it can be very good and other times no so. Also I have heard that they have had very good quality soil. Go and have a look it might be out fresh and your not limited on how much you can take

    Bark is terrible and stones are way nicer for the garden

    I heard they started to charge for the mulch and bark out there a few weeks back? can anyone whos been there in the past 2 to 3 weeks confirm or deny this??

    I know it used to be free but I heard recently this is no longer the case.
