Update 2008.01.06: I've added a post with photos from today.
Update 2008.01.05: I have photos from my stint at Park Circle today.
Update 2008.01.04: I will be volunteering at the Park Circle location Saturday and Sunday for as long as I can hold out. Hope to see some of you there!


Mulchfest 2008 is on! You can drop-off trees at Greenwood Cemetery, 25th Street and 5th Avenue, starting today through January 11, any time between 8am and 4:30pm. Starting this Thursday, January 3 through Wednesday, January 16, you can leave trees curbside for pickup. Be sure to first remove all lights, ornaments, decorations, tree-stands and what-not before turning your tree into mulch.

The big event is this weekend. This Saturday and Sunday, January 5 & 6, from 10am to 2pm, you can bring your tree to multiple Parks locations throughout the city. This map shows all the Brooklyn locations for Mulchfest 2008. On-site chipping locations are indicated by the green tree icons. Drop-off only locations are indicated by the arrow&star icons.
