Bring your holiday tree to a designated city park to be recycled into mulch

that will nourish plantings across the city!


Drop Off Locations
Or you can bring your tree to a drop-off site from Saturday, January 4 through Sunday, January 12. Leave your tree with us, and we’ll recycle it for you later

The NYC Department of Sanitation will also be conducting special curbside collections for mulching and recycling of Christmas trees from Monday, December 30, 2013 through Wednesday, January 15, 2014.

Remember to remove all lights, ornaments, stands, and plastic bags from your tree before setting it out at the curb for composting collection.

Join the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, 
the New York City Department of Sanitation , and GreeNYC to recycle your Christmas trees into wood chips. These wood chips are used to nourish trees and plants on streets and gardens citywide. Or, take home your very own bag of mulch to use in your backyard or to make a winter bed for a street tree. 
More than 24,000 trees were recycled last year. 

Help us top this number!

What to Bring

Please remember to remove all lights and ornaments before bringing the tree
to a MulchFest site. Biodegradable bags will be provided if you wish to take 
some free mulch home.
