FREE MULCH GIVEAWAY SATURDAY JAN. 21 & 28th AT RECREATION PARK

The City of Monrovia is hosting a free mulch giveaway on the last two Saturdays in January to help keep mulch out of landfills for use locally. Mulch will be available from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on January 21st & 28th. Bring your own shovel, containers, gloves and goggles. Available while supplies last.
