Got a garden that could use a little TLC? Here’s your chance to grab some FREE mulch!
For one day only on Sunday 22 November 2026, head to the Cooktown Waste Transfer Station and stock up on free mulch for your gardens.
And the best part? The mulch is free, and so is the loading!
Simply bring along your ute, trailer or truck during normal operating hours, and Council staff will have a loader ready to load you up, completely free of charge.
Not only is this a great opportunity to give your garden a freshen-up without spending a cent, but it’s also a fantastic way to give local green waste a second life.The mulch is made from recycled green waste collected within the community, helping turn what would otherwise be waste into something useful for local gardens.
