DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR TREE

True, Christmas is still three days away, but NYC residents may want to give some thought to what's going to happen to their trees in the week, weeks, and hopefully not months after the Season's over. Every year the NYC Parks Department operates a series of drop-off and mulching sites for Christmas treees around the city.
MulchFest provides New Yorkers an opportunity to bring their Christmas trees to designated sites where they are ground into wood chips. The chips can then be placed in tree pits and gardens. Parks & Recreation encourages New Yorkers to help the environment and their community by participating in this event. MulchFest takes place on January 6 and 7, 2007 from 10:00am to 2:00pm. Participants are encouraged to bring bags to take advantage of the free mulch provided.
Looking at the list of drop-off points divided by borough, it seems that Manhattan residents not living on the Upper West or Upper East Sides could be out of luck when it comes to MulchFest, although NYC Parks will be running woodchippers at Tompkins Square Park and Washington Square Park.
