RECYCLING

At NYC Tree Shop we encourage everyone to recycle their trees at the end of the holiday season. The City of NY throws an annual MulchFest where New Yorkers can dispose of their trees to be recycled and reused as mulch in city parks and other community areas. There will be designated drop-off locations in all five boroughs. Visit the official MulchFest website or call 311 for information in regard to your tree disposal. You can also keep your own mulch by bringing your tree to one of the city's chipping locations.

If you're unable to get your tree to a disposal location, NYC Tree Shop can remove and recycle your tree for you. We charge a flat fee of $80 for all trees under 9' tall. Contact us for pricing on larger trees.

To schedule a tree removal from NYC Tree Shop, place an order for our "Tree Removal" Service under the "Lights & Extras" section.

Please read these important notes regarding our tree removal service:

1. Tree removal dates are available from January 2-4, 2025. Please book this service with your tree order. 

2. Please have all tree decorations and lights off the tree BEFORE your pick-up date.

3. We do not offer scheduled time frames due to unforeseen events such as traffic and weather.

4. While we do our best to minimize the shedding of tree needles, there will be some cleaning needed after your tree is removed.

5. This service is the removal of your tree from the building, it does not include clean-up of any type. Please prepare the tree as needed to avoid additional mess from needles. Purchasing and using a tree removal bag would be helpful.
