If your town doesn’t give away free mulch (as many do), then consider getting a supply from local tree surgeons and private trimming companies. They’ll most likely be happy to dump a pile of shredded tree trimmings at your curb, because then they don’t have to take it to the landfill.
If you decide not to compost it or use it for mulching your plants, then you can always use it for making garden paths. Just be sure, before you order up your free mulch, that it’s from trees that haven’t been sprayed or otherwise contaminated with pesticides or herbicides.
