Does this have a "rubber" smell, like tires, seeing that it is rubber mulch?

Thank you for your question! Like any new item or freshly finished surface such as plastic toys, a new car, or even a freshly painted room, our rubber mulch may have a slight rubber smell at first. The initial scent should dissipate naturally within 2–3 weeks, leaving you with a long-lasting, low maintenance mulch for your landscape.
