When the holiday season is over, recycle your tree at Mulchfest! Join NYC Parks in the holiday tradition of recycling your Christmas tree. We’ll chip your tree into wood chips to nourish trees and make NYC even greener. Drop off your tree at the Myrtle Ave and Washington Park entrance during park hours (6:00am–1:00am) between December 26 and January 10.

Please remember to remove all lights, ornaments, and netting before bringing your tree.

Interested in volunteering for Mulchfest? Sign up here to help us on Saturday, January 10, 2026 from 10:30am–1:30pm for Chipping Weekend.
