Locals looking to ditch their pastprime
Christmas pines can turn their
dead trees into plant food through Jan.
13, during the city’s beloved tree-cycling
event happening at green spaces
across the borough.
Environmentalists can haul their
trees — sans lights, ornaments, and
stars — to one of 23 Brooklyn parks
during Mulchfest, where workers will
pulverize them with a wood chipper
to make mulch used to fertilize green
things growing in public spaces across
the city, according to the head of the
Department of Sanitation, which together
with leaders of the Department
of Parks and Recreation is staging the
recycling program.
“While Christmas trees are in
our homes for only a short period of
time, recycling can give them a longer
life,” said Sanitation Commissioner
Kathryn Garcia. “After collection,
the trees are turned into compost to
give life to plants in our city’s parks
and community gardens.”
And Brooklynites who line up at
nine of the local meadows on the second
weekend of Mulchfest can walk
away with their own bag of all-natural
fertilizer, according to the agency.
Residents can also toss their completely
naked trees to the curb for collection
through Jan. 12, said Garcia,
who noted that New Yorkers recycled
more than 200,000 fi rs last year.
