On Saturday, January 8 and Sunday, January 9, the New York City Parks Department will host the annual MulchFest from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each day at locations citywide. Bring your holiday tree to one of 70 designated parks to be recycled into mulch that will nourish plantings across the city or your own garden!
This year, we hope to encourage thousands of New York households to help the environment and the community by bringing their trees to our nearest collection site—there will be 30 chipping sites and 40 drop-off sites throughout the five boroughs.
Remember to remove all lights and decorations before bringing the tree to a MulchFest site. You will have the opportunity to take home your mulch at designated chipping sites.
Please spread the word! As a friend of Parks, we need your help to let your friends and family know about MulchFest! We hope you will share this email with your friends and colleagues.

If you have any questions or would like to get more involved, call (212) 360-1368.
Treecycle and help NYC grow!
