MidAmerican's contracted line clearance crews work year-round to prune or remove tree limbs and vegetation near our power lines that pose a safety risk or could disrupt service. After we complete this work, the debris is chipped and turned into mulch, which we deliver to interested customers and communities at no cost!

 

We can deliver loads of 7-10 cubic yards of wood mulch to interested customers, tree nurseries, schools, parks or other facilities located near our line clearance crews' work area. To request a free mulch delivery, contact us at 888-427-5632 or e-mail us at trees@midamerican.com to find out if tree crews will be working in your town soon. 

 

About MidAmerican's free mulch
Our unprocessed mulch contains varying sizes of wood chips and potentially some leafy material. With our mulch, you get:

• Longer-lasting mulch – wood chip mulch compacts slowly because of the chemical and physical diversity in the mixture of bark, wood and leaves.
• Protection for your plants – the microbes, insects and other organisms that wood chips attract help create a soil community that is more resistant to environmental disturbances.
• A free way to support the environment – using wood chips resulting from our tree work helps keep debris out of local landfills and gives pruned trees a second life.

• Delivery locations must be accessible to a large truck and free from overhead obstructions.
• Trucks cannot travel on concrete, asphalt or brick driveways due to their weight and potential for damage. Access is limited to gravel surfaces, grass, field areas and similar locations where ground conditions are dry and suitable for heavy vehicles. 
• Wood chips will not be dumped in streets, alleyways, sidewalks, maintained lawns or other public areas.
• Wood chip deliveries are not guaranteed, and MidAmerican may refuse delivery for any reason.
• MidAmerican and its contractors are not responsible for minor rutting or ground disturbance resulting from delivery access or unloading operations.
• Once delivered, the wood chips will not be removed, spread or relocated by MidAmerican.
