Tree Mulching?  RI Progresses Branch by Branch

1/2/2016

Many thanks to Geof Kerr and Anthony Longo!

ALL of the leftover trimmings from the PS 217 PTA holiday Christmas tree sale have been gathered for chipping. This happened in both 2014 and 2015! Every little bit helps our lovely planet earth!


RI Gardeners and other RI Residents are now asking about how to get their Christmas trees mulched or recycled.  If you have a car, you can transport your tree to drop off at the Green Thumb and Land Restoration composting site in LIC under the Queensborough Bridge. More info here on the map.

In addition, the DSNY Zero Waste site gives you information here for both live and fake tree recycle/reuse options.

If you would like to connect with other Island residents who hope to work with RIOC on plans for next year's 2016/2017 trees please send an email to rigardencluboutreach@gmail.com.

Lots and lots of trees sold this year. These trimmed ends will all be chipped and mulched instead of being sent to a landfill.
