Mulchfest starts Tuesday for New Yorkers to recycle their Christmas trees

NEW YORK -- New Yorkers can start recycling their Christmas trees on Tuesday at the Parks Department's annual Mulchfest. 

Simply bring your tree to a participating park, and the city will turn it into woodchips for free. 

The chips will then be used to nourish existing trees and make the city greener.
