by Gina The NYC Department of Parks & Rec is making it easy to recycle your x-mas tree into wood chips this year with MULCHFEST. Bring your tree to a local park on 1/11 or 1/12 from 10am-2pm, and take home your own bag of mulch to use in your backyard (or as a winter bed for your baby street tree). The donated mulch will be used to nourish plants across the city.

Why your support matters
I wish they offered this at transmitter park as well!
It’s too bad they don’t do this earlier in the month! By the 15th, I think the vast majority of people have already pitched their trees in the trash.
