ZOO POOPY DOO!

Louisville Zoo sets fall mulch & compost sale dates

The Louisville Zoo will host fall mulch and Zoo Poopy Doo sales on September 20, 27 and October 4 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.

You can purchase high quality hardwood bark mulch as well as Zoo Poopy Doo (comprised of Zoo manure from elephants, rhinos, camels and giraffes mixed with hay, straw and wood shavings) by the truckload!

Make your purchases at the ticket windows (in front of the Zoo entrance gates) and then collect your mulch or Zoo Poopy Doo in the Zoo’s bus parking lot.

Zoo Poopy Doo:  $30 per bobcat scoop 

Mulch:   $22.50 per load for small pick-up truck   
                     $35 per load for medium to full size pick-up truck

Zoo Poopy Doo improves the aeration of the soil, increases root penetration and water retention, which reduces crusting of the soil surface. Mulch helps reduce weeds and retains moisture. Proof of the effectiveness of these two products is evident from all the healthy botanicals at the Zoo.
