Mulchfest January 10 and 11

Chip in! Mulch your tree! Help NYC grow.

Chip in and join the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation at MulchFest 2009! Stop by any of the 30 chipping sites in all five boroughs on January 10th and 11th from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. with your Christmas tree and watch it get turned into mulch! You can even take home a free bag of fragrant mulch. Or just drop your tree off at another 60 locations citywide, and we’ll do the rest. Not only will it help make NYC greener, it will help your spring flowers grow too!

Call 311 or visit www.nyc.gov/parks for a list of citywide locations.

(Jean notes that although all sites take trees, only a few will give you the chips. These sites have an asterisk next to them (the Central Park site is NOT one of them), so if you want to take the mulch back, be sure the site is willing to do this.)
