Here's something else:
Mulch Quantity & Loading Restrictions at EHOF
To ensure a more equitable distribution of enhanced mulch to the public the Solid Waste Division imposes the following limitations on the amount of enhanced mulch that each customer will be allowed to receive and the availability of assisted mechanical loading at EHOF.
All customers will be limited to only one assisted mechanical load per day.
Assisted mechanical loading will be limited to a maximum quantity of 10 cubic yards per load.
Commercial customers are restricted to assisted mechanical loading only, commercial customers will not be allowed to self-load mulch.
Residential self-load customers will be allowed to load an unrestricted amount at the self-load pile.
All loads at EHOF continue to be required to be weighed on the SWD Scale.

Also, I learned this today: the mulch pickup area has moved, and it is not well marked. it's further down the road and downhill.

What about the mulch from the Hilo dump? Same problems?

I didn't intend to get a pickup load of chunked pallets but I felt like I went all that way intending to come back with a load full of something free so I took them up on their offer of "wood chips" and now I'm glad that I did. Our lot was ripped and we have one section that leads to one of our paddocks that is particularly good for turning ankles. I made a nice flat soft walkway over the rock monster with the pallet pieces and not only does it look surprisingly pleasant but it makes doing the farm chores a lot easier. I see more of these pallet paths in our future.
Wondering if the wood chips are still available. I got a load of this once and it was great for my banana patch. Covered the weeds and took a long time to break down.

Still available for small loads but commercial delivery is still limited to one 10 yard load per day per company!

The wood chips were still available last time I was there but it was u-load.

Dozens of mounds of mulch there around noon yesterday, as well as a large pile of wood chips.
