Those who haven’t checked it out— many municipalities have free compost for residents. I filled about 8-9 grow bags this morning- this would have probably cost several hundred dollars at a garden center.
Quality is pretty good too (it was steaming!)— I used it in our community garden a couple seasons ago and had the best harvest ever!

Good for you. I wish we had one we don’t
You know what let me go check if we have this in my city lmao I’m broke and outta dirt
Just FYI, at least in my city, the source of the compost/mulch is pretty sus and I would never put it on anything I eat. Pallets, press board, treated lumber, street cleaning debris, plastics, etc all end up in our municipal piles. The only time I made an exception was in the weeks following a tornado, where we had tons of freshly mulched trees in a separate pile.
Boise Idaho does this and I had my best garden living out there
