The Santa Maria Utilities Department is offering free landscape burlaps and sprinklers for city residents in April.
The promotion is to remind homeowners to Go Green in the Spring by pulling weeds and collecting clippings, adjusting irrigation timers/clocks, and regularly checking irrigation sprinklers and outdoor faucets to address any leaks.
During April, residents can receive one 7-foot-by-7-foot landscape burlap and three MPR1000 Rotator sprinklers with anti-leak sprinkler bodies. Requests are limited to one promotional package per household while supplies last.
The burlap can be used to gather yard clippings, branches, leaves, and other green waste materials in the yard or garden and transport them to the green organics container or backyard composter.
“Easily retrofit existing irrigation by transitioning to MPR1000 Rotators sprinklers to maximize water efficiency,” the city said. “A product instruction guide and adjustment tool are included with the promotion to aid in the installation of the sprinklers.”
Santa Maria residents must call the Utilities Department to reserve their promotional items in advance at 805-925-0951 ext. 7235, Monday-Friday, and schedule an appointment for pickup at the Santa Maria Regional Landfill, 2065 East Main St.
