COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Keep the Midlands Beautiful is giving away free mulch Saturday thanks to the ground up remains of Christmas trees dropped off by the community since Christmas.

Mulch will be available at both Seven Oaks Park and the SC State Farmers Market Saturday from 9 a.m. until it runs out.

People picking up mulch must load it themselves and are asked to bring what they'll need to transport it home.

The mulch from recycled Christmas trees is part of "Grinding of the Greens" put on yearly by Keep the Midlands Beautiful.

Drop-off for Christmas trees ended Thursday. No more trees will be accepted until next season.
