NYC Parks announced changes to
its annual Mulchfest. During the 2020
recycling program, New Yorkers will
now have two consecutive Saturdays
when they can actively mulch their
holiday trees—Saturday, January 4
and 11. This new schedule makes it
easier than ever for all to say goodbye
to their trees in an ecofriendly way,
and take a bag of nutrient rich mulch
home in the process. Mulchfest, part
of the New York City’s holiday tradition,
encourages New Yorkers to make
greening a family activity—turning
holiday trees into mulch which can be
used for gardening and to increase soil
fertility.
Mulchfest 2020 runs from December
26 through January 11. With 67
total drop-off sites—32 are chipping
sites— across the fi ve boroughs, including
parks and GreenThumb gardens,
New Yorkers will be able drop off
holiday trees which are then chipped
and recycled. The mulch is used to
nourish city trees and plants making
make NYC even greener.
Weather permitting, DSNY will
also collect and compost clean trees
left at curbs from Monday, January 6
through Friday, January 17, 2020.
For more than 20 years, Parks and
DSNY have collected and mulched
trees to help planting beds and community
gardens around the city grow.
Mulch maintains the health of our
trees and plants citywide by deterring
weeds, retaining moisture, preventing
compaction, adding nutrients to
the soil, and keeping roots warm. In
recent years, Parks has mulched between
25,000 and 30,000 on average annually.
