Materials & Miscellany
- Woodchips
- Cinder Lake Landfill — offers free woodchips from green waste (good for paths, but due to the wood’s multiple sources we’re iffy about using them for plant mulch/compost)
- Craigslist Free — source for free manure, wood/green waste, building materials, and other stuff.
- Freecycle Flagstaff — similar to Craigslist Free, though less active. Users can also make “wanted” posts.
