MulchFest 2016 tree recycling a huge success
Even though Christmas is over, Christmas trees are still in high demand.
On Saturday, January 9 and Sunday, January 10, the 20th Annual MulchFest took place at nearly 80 locations across the five boroughs, including Owls Head Park at Colonial Road and 68th Street. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. people were encouraged to bring their trees to any of the chipping locations or drop-off sites, which were set up as early as Saturday January 2.
The event was a joint effort between NYC Parks, Department of Sanitation, GreeNYC and numerous community organizations.
