2025 Christmas Tree Disposal and Mulch

The Village of New Paltz will be mulching Christmas trees this year and offering that byproduct to anyone interested in it for gardens or pathways. Residents are encouraged to get their trees out of the house before they dry out as they pose a high fire risk.

There are two ways you can dispose of your Christmas tree to be mulched:

  • In the Village, leave it curbside any time before 10:00 AM on Friday, January 10, 2025.
  • Drop it off at the Village DPW next to Village Hall, 25 Plattekill Avenue before 10:00 AM on Friday, January 10, 2025.

Mulch will be made available free of charge to the public after Monday, January 20, 2025 at the Village’s Waste Water Treatment plant located off of Huguenot Street.

Please note: many gardeners recommend aging fresh mulch before applying to plants. Please consult with a garden expert if unsure what’s best for your application.

Snow Ordinance & Parking Information

Just a friendly reminder to keep the Village’s snow ordinance in mind as we head into winter.

For your convenience, here are the relevant codes to review:

§ 175-11: Removal of snow and ice required.

§ 198-15 Parking prohibited during emergencies.

Thank you for helping keep our community safe and accessible!

Temporary parking options:

To help get vehicles off Village streets during snowstorms so our Department of Public Works (DPW) may safely clear roadways, free overnight parking is available before storms and for 24 hours after the snow has stopped in the Huguenot Street municipal lot that leads to the Gardens for Nutrition and the Village sewer plant. The lot currently includes 29 spaces that are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Subsequently, the DPW will begin plowing the Huguenot Street lot 24 hours after the snow has stopped and any vehicles still in the lot at that time will risk being ticketed and towed.
Shoveling out one’s vehicle and making sure it is removed from the Huguenot Street lot before DPW plowing commences, regardless of a storm’s size, will be the sole responsibility of vehicle owners and not the Village DPW.
At any time, vehicles that block the thoroughfare on the left (west) side of the Huguenot Street lot heading towards the sewer plant risk being ticketed and towed immediately.
