City Urges You to “Chip In” and Recycle Your Christmas Tree

Brooklyn Heights Locations Participating 

NYC Parks are recycling Christmas trees at locations all over the city. The mulch will be used to “used to nourish trees and plants on streets and gardens citywide.” Drop your tree during the week or you can bring your tree to Brooklyn Bridge Park or any number of parks this coming weekend and take home a bag of mulch for your own garden. Here are all the details:

When the holiday season is over, don’t let your tree go to waste. Bring it to MulchFest at 99 Plymouth.

You can bring your tree to 99 Plymouth for chipping on January 6 & 7 from 10am to 2pm. Watch your tree get chipped in front of you, and get a free bag of mulch to take home.

Or you can bring your tree to 99 Plymouth for drop off from December 31 through January 7 from 10am-2pm. Leave your tree with us, and we’ll recycle it for you later!

Drop your tree off at the gate behind 99 Plymouth (corner of Plymouth and Adams Streets).

Please remember to remove all lights, ornaments, tinsel, netting, etc. before bringing it to the drop off site. Trees with decorations will not be accepted.
