Once again, Prospect Heights Community will be serving as a drop off location for MuchFest. Bringing your Christmas tree to the garden will guarantee its continued use in the form of mulch which will be used in the garden and around the neighbourhood. Don’t let your tree end up in the trash!
TreeCycle/Mulch Fest 2017 is part of an annual, city wide program organised by New York City Department of Parks & Recreation, the New York City Department of Sanitation, and GreeNYC to recycle your Christmas trees into wood chips. For more info on the program, go to the MulchFest site.
Prospect Heights Community Farm will be one of the many places to drop off your Christmas tree throughout the city. We’ll be collecting trees and chipping them into mulch on Saturday and Sunday the 7th and 8th of January from 10 am to 2 pm. That gives you just enough time from twelfth night on the 5th of January to lug your tree over to the garden.
Make sure any non-compostable decorations have been removed from your tree and bring it to the garden at one of the following times:
Saturday the 7th of January, 10 am – 2 pm.
Sunday the 8th of January, 10 am – 2 pm.
We have typically received hundreds of trees at past years events! Look at that pile of trees:
