Wrap up your holiday season and say goodbye to your tree at Mulchfest! Join NYC Parks and the New York City Department of Sanitation  in the NYC holiday tradition of recycling your Christmas tree. 

Washington Square Park is proud to be a chipping location again this year! Bring your tree to Chipping Saturday (Saturday, January 11th from 10:00am-2:00pm) and take home a tree-mento! NYC Parks and DSNY will chip your tree and give you your very own bag of mulch to use in your backyard or to make a winter bed for a street tree.

Know Before You Go

Please remember to remove all lights, ornaments, and netting before bringing the tree to a Mulchfest site. Bags will be provided if you wish to take some free mulch home.
