from Schreiber Recycling.
One cubic yard of mulch is 27 cubic feet. When you purchase bagged mulch from
large home improvement stores or garden centers they come in 2 cubic foot bags
for around $3.50 – $4.00 per bag. So in comparison by the time you drive to the store
pick up the mulch off the isle pay for it load it into your car or truck and unload it
again back at home you have paid $47.25 per yard for dyed mulch. This number
is derived from 27 cubic feet per yard / 2 cubic feet per bag equals = 13.5 bags of
mulch per yard. 13.5 bags x $3.50 per bag = $47.25 before sales tax.
Now lets consider buying direct from Schreiber Recycling. Schreiber Recycling
charges $25 per yard for dyed material. If you have a small trailer or pick up and
want to come and pick it up yourself the savings is easy to see. Lets say you don’t
have access to a trailer or truck but have a large driveway that can easily have a
load of mulch dumped in, delivery is always an option. Delivery is based on mileage
from our office to your driveway. For all deliveries in New Kent and Charles City,
VA deliveries are $75. (1-15 yards of mulch per load) So lets say you need 5 cubic
yards of mulch to mulch all your flowerbeds. 5 yards of mulch x $25 per yard =
$125 before tax with $75 delivery feed rounds it out to an even $200 for mulch and
delivery again this price is before sales tax. Five cubic yards of mulch delivered to
your doorstep, all you have to do it pick up the phone and call Schreiber Recycling
today at 804-966-1251 and you are paying $40 per yard for mulch and delivery.
That’s $7.25 less than if you had driven to the large home improvement store and
picked it off the shelf yourself.
Now lets look at the savings of getting a full load of mulch equaling 15 cubic yards,
15 yards x $25 = $375 + $75 for delivery = $450 per load. $450 / 15 yds of mulch =
$30 per yard of dyed mulch delivered to your door. That’s a whole $17. 25 less than
driving to the large home improvement store. So the next time you need to dress up
your flowerbeds and landscaping give Schreiber Recycling a call at 804-966-1251.
