Bring your holiday tree to a designated city park to be recycled into mulch
that will nourish plantings across the city!

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.

Co-sponsored by the Astoria Park Alliance, Green Shores NYC & Partnerships for Parks.
