Mulch Fest 2018: Turn Your Christmas Tree Into Wood Chips At Two Neighborhood Locations This Week-End

******UPDATE******
The Mulchfest at Cobble Hill Park  listed below has been cancelled due to the cold.

So, by now, you have probably dismantled your Christmas tree and are ready to lug it out of your home. Why not begin 2018 by being more green and by bringing your tree to one of two neighborhood locations to have it chipped during Mulch Fest 2018,
From the organizers:
Join NYC Parks, the New York City Department of Sanitation , and GreeNYC to recycle your Christmas trees into wood chips. These wood chips are used to nourish trees and plants on streets and gardens citywide. Or, take home your very own bag of mulch to use in your backyard or to make a winter bed for a street tree. More than 26,000 trees were recycled last year. Help us top this number!

If you live in South Brooklyn, here are two convenient locations:
