​

NOTE: We have switched to 2 cu ft brown mulch bags from 3 cu ft to reduce risk of injury during pickup/delivery. So, you will need to order MORE BAGS! Don’t worry, the prices have been adjusted down. Black mulch is still the same 2 cu ft size. We are also offering discount for pickup, just use the code PICKUP during checkout!

Delivery Trucks & Drivers (25-30)

​

Drivers are not required to lift bags of mulch!  All you need is a vehicle that can transport mulch and helpers and the ability to COUNT.  We provide you with young strong teenagers to help with the heavy lifting.  You  need to have a pickup, flatbed, large SUV, box truck  or open trailer with a load capacity of at least 1200 lbs.  NO SMALL/MID-SIZE  ENCLOSED PASSENGER VEHICLES. 

​

Drivers are responsible for ensuring their vehicles are loaded with the right number of bags and that their delivery workers unload the right number of bags for each customer.

 

We ask that each driver commit to being available from 7am-noon on delivery day but any amount of time you can haul mulch is greatly appreciated!

​

Box Truck Drivers (2-4)

​

Drivers are not required to lift bags of mulch!  If you have experience driving a box truck and can spare 2-4 hours between 6AM and Noon on the sale date, please reach out to our Coordinators. We don't always rent box trucks so you may not see the position listed on our Sign Up Genius page.  We would need people willing to pick up the truck before the sale, drop it off after the sale, and drive it during the sale.
