Mulchfest 2017: recycle Xmas trees

POSTED BY
Evelyn Kanter

mulchfest 2015Recycle your Christmas trees into wood chips that will nourish trees and plants on NYC streets, gardens and parks at MulchFest 2017. Give your tree back to the land, instead of adding it to the landfill.

There are giant chippers in NYC parks in all five boroughs waiting for your holiday tree. You can watch – it’s a great recycling lesson for the kids – and even take home a bag of chips for your own backyard garden or sidewalk tree.

MulchFest 2016 is this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Jan 7 and 8, from 10am to 2pm, with mulch locations in all five boroughs.

Click here for the NYC Parks Dept. list of mulching sites.

The NYC Department of Sanitation will also be conducting special curbside collections for mulching and recycling of Christmas trees from January 3rdh through January 13th.

Whether you mulch your tree or leave it for trash, be sure to remove ornaments and lights, otherwise it can’t be chipped.

Also be sure to remove ornaments even if you are leaving your holiday tree on the sidewalk for Dept. of Sanitation pick-up.
