The lady who "works" in the dirt area needs a serious attitude adjustment! I've been coming there for years and it's never been a problem. This time she decides to call me and this old lady over ( who happened to be there for her church), whereby she basically yells at us about how much dirt we have even though she didn't even know how much we had! First off, this city should be embarrassed by her and not just her, but in general. You don't pay for this dirty, WE, THE CITIZENS DO! YOu regulate it with a limit of only 6 buckets (30 gallons twice a week). Give me a break! WE, THE TAXPAYERS, pay for all the workers that create that dirty. NOT YOU! I get it that contractors and professional gardeners may come, but it's pretty easy to spot a pro from an old lady in a small car and another woman (myself) in anpther car. Neither of us had trucks or large automobiles. JUST HOW MUCH DIRT DO YOU THINK WE CAN GET! Seriously worry about the real problems in this city instead of targeing two older women getting dirty to try and MAKE THIS CITY PRETTY In the midst of being literally one of the "trashiest" city, for which nobody seems to care. This is to the dirt lady: Keep your person problems to yourself and leave them at home. THERE IS A WAY TO TALK TO PEOPLE. You might want to learn how to communicate better and without attitude!

Free compost, free mulch/wood chips and often free manure for gardens. Bring your own buckets bags and or shovels. Limited amounts free per day, but still very generous

It’s amazing they have dirt, horse manure (good for fertilizer) and wood chips. All of it is free let’s help regrow the earth ourselves.

I love this place. I come here every year to get what I need for my garden. Philadelphia residents can get 30 gal of organic material for free, and anything over 30 gal is very fairly priced. The compost is leaf mulch- it’s not particularly nutrient dense for gardening, but can be amended to make a very serviceable gardening soil. The wood chips and mulch are great quality. Make sure to bring your own shovel and containers!

I liked to off shrubbery to be chipped
Yes
They have some restrictions. If you call the staff is really helpful
Yes you can
Yes! However, if you go to drop off leaves you must get your car weighed before and after drop off; please also note only leaves in brown bags (no plastic) are accepted. There is a minimum payment of ~$11. Typically, no car is going to breach this minimum rate. Saturday December 5th, Saturday December 12th, and Saturday December 19th the city is offering free leaf pick ups at designated locations. Leaves must be in brown bags, and hours are 9a-3pm. See this website for more info on drop off sites to find your closest location: https://www.philadelphiastreets.com/leaves/ I hope this helps and thanks for being being responsible with your leaf waste!
This is not about the recycling center, but depends on a lot (engine, brakes, leaf springs vs shocks, etc). Safe payload is probably a bit less than a ton. You could tow quite a bit more with a trailer.
No.
