truck load mulch
does any one know where i can get a truck load or bulk mulch as opposed to bags of mulch at lowes

The city parks dept. maintains sites at various parks that provide free mulch. I am not sure how much you can take and I am not sure if they will let you send someone with a van or truck. If they will allow that, you should be able to find someone with a truck on Craigslist.
Take a look at the parks dept website.

You might also want to contact: http://www.licompost.com/index.htm
Depending on what you want, also try searching "rubber mulch," available at many masonry supply houses. Maybe Glenwood Mason in Brooklyn, definitely here on LI: http://www.allislandmasonsupply.com/bulk.html
The NYC Parks Dept. has discontinued it's compost giveback program.

Correction to vinca's post:
The Compost Giveback program which they unfortunately discontinued is separate from the MulchFest event that they have every January.
The annual MulchFest event is still alive. But you will have to wait until Jan. 2010.

Right, like I said: the NYC Parks Dept. has discontinued its *compost* giveback program. Compost is not mulch. The mulchfest is great, but only takes place post-Christmas, is not a bulk giveaway, with givebacks limited to a few small bags.
