BID YOUR HOLIDAY TREE "FIR-WELL" WITH NYC PARKS DURING MULCHFEST!

 

DETAILS:                   For 23 years, Mulchfest has been a part of New York City's annual Holiday tradition and provides New Yorkers with a fun, environmentally-friendly, free way to green with their families. By mulching our city's Holiday ever-greens we help to reduce waste, and maintain the health of our trees and plants citywide by deterring weeds, retaining moisture, preventing compaction, adding nutrients to the soil, and keeping roots warm. Mulchfest is hosted in partnership with NYC Department of Sanitation and WNYC.

 

DATES:         

Tree Drop-Offs

 

Until January 13, 2019

 

All Day: Drop Off-Only Sites at Banner Designated Locations

 

Dates have been extended this year to be inclusive of all Holidays celebrated in New York City.

 

Mulching

 

Saturday, January 12 and Sunday, January 13, 2019

 

10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
