Christmas Tree Pickup Plan 2023

Christmas Tree Pickup Plan 2023
The Village of New Paltz will be mulching Christmas trees this year and offering the mulch to anyone interested in it for gardens or pathways. Residents are encouraged to get their trees out of the house BEFORE they dry out since 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 13, 2023. Alternatively, you can drop it off at the Village DPW next to Village Hall, 25 Plattekill Avenue, before 10:00 AM that same day (1/13). The DPW will collect and chip up trees as long as the weather allows.
Mulch will be made available free of charge to the public after Friday, January 6, 2023 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.

Challenge the National Broadband Map created by the Federal Communication Commission

Citizens Digital Commission

FCC Broadband Challenge Directory

Ulster County urges you to challenge the National Broadband Map created by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) in order to bring more funding to our region. This map will help to determine whether locations are eligible for support to expand broadband, and what share of a $42.5 billion broadband investment will come our way.

Residents and business owners are urged to look up their address on the FCC Map and see if the information listed is accurate. All challenges are due January 13, 2023.

Having correct data for each address is crucial because the FCC uses the data to calculate the funding allocated to our remote neighborhoods. This will help pay for high-speed internet projects throughout our rural communities which would otherwise be unaffordable for individuals. 

Even if the state or county is filing a challenge for your address, we have been informed that multiple challenges for unserved locations is crucial to accessing funding. Please file a challenge for your location if you know you are unserved.
