AccessibilityMulchfest
Say fir-well to your holiday tree at NYC Parks!
January 4-13, 2019
Wrap up your holiday season and say goodbye to your tree at Mulchfest. Join NYC Parks and the New York City Department of Sanitation in the NYC holiday tradition of recycling your Christmas tree!
Put on your boots and haul your tree to a Mulchfest location — we'll chip your tree into wood chips that we'll use to nourish trees and make NYC even greener.
More than 25,000 trees were recycled last year. Help us top this number!
Know Before You Go
Please remember to remove all lights, ornaments, and netting before bringing the tree to a Mulchfest site. Bags will be provided if you wish to take some free mulch home. Mulch is available at the sites marked with an asterisk (*) below.
How to Volunteer
Help us spread mulch in tree beds throughout the city during Mulchfest! Join our Stewardship Team to help us spread mulch and insulate our young trees from the cold weather. Find a site near you, and help give back! Register today
