How To Recycle Your Xmas Tree

Want to unload your Christmas tree in an environmentally friendly fashion? You've got two options. The easiest is to just leave it on the curb from January 5 to 15th. The Dept. of Sanitation will come pick it up at some point, though exactly when we can't say.

Your other option is to take it to the Parks Department annual Mulchfest, which will be on Saturday, January 9, and Sunday, January 10, from 10 am to 2 pm. Drop off points are at the 3rd Street entrance off of Prospect Park West and at Park Circle (Parkside Avenue and Prospect Park Southwest).

You can pick up free mulch there, even if you don't bring an Xmas tree. Be sure to bring your own bags, though.

Volunteers are needed to help with Mulchfest. You can sign up for that here.
