We got an email from a reader asking what to do about recycling Christmas trees, which reminded us that we refused to run information about Mulchfest before Christmas. (Trees left at the curb are also supposed to be recycled by the Dept. of Sanitation.) This year, Mulchfest will take place on Saturday, January 10 and Sunday, January 11, 2009 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The Parks Department’s site is here.

For folks who can’t get to one of the dropoff or chipping/mulch locations, curbside pickup runs through next Friday. After that, it’s trash.
