This week, the Brownwood Regional Landfill and Recycling Center is in the middle of processing brush piles to be refined into mulch. With the use of Brush Grinders, the recycling center will be grinding approximately 15,000 cubic yards of mulch.
Brush that gets collected by the Sanitation Department is brought to the recycling center and placed in brush piles that are then ground down into compost piles. Those piles are then screened to remove and sift out bigger pieces of compost. The refined mulch is then sold back to the public.
