This year's Mulchfest saw a record turnout, processing 52,000 Christmas trees, a significant increase from last year's 42,000. The event is a long-standing tradition in New York City, promoting environmental sustainability by recycling trees into mulch, contributing to healthy plant growth. Brooklyn led the city in tree recycling, with about one-third of the total. Despite a dip in participation due to cold weather in 2024 and shifts towards artificial trees, the event's popularity remains strong with community engagement and positive public response.
Mulchfest is environmentally sensitive. People appreciate that. It is a way to reduce waste and be sustainable - part of a tree's natural lifecycle and helps new plants grow.
Over time it has become part of many New Yorkers' holiday traditions. This year we had good weather, which brought out good participation.
