Mulched: Doug, We Hardly Knew Ye

Yesterday was not a good day for Christmas trees (nor will today be), unless you enjoy watching them shoved through a wood chipper. Oh, well, it's all for the good, as the trees are recycled into beneficial mulch. Mulchfest happens again today from 10AM-2PM, and you can check out the locations here in our GL post or go over to Parks Department's mulchfest page. If you miss mulchfest, the Department of Sanitation is recycling all trees (non-bagged, all ornaments, tinsel and lights removed) that are left at curbside between now and Tuesday, January 17. They will be chipped, combined with compost and spread in parks and on ballfields. And, above, that would be our very own tree, Doug, getting mulched. RIP, big guy, We Hardly Knew Ye, but We Loved You.
