SUMMARY:FREE Tree & Shrub Give-A-Way at UCRRA
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, April 18th\, residents who drop off electronics for recycling and/or residents that pick up an order of bagged compost will receive a free tree sapling/shrub as our gift to you to celebrate Earth Day! \nPlease note: tree saplings/shrubs will be distributed while supplies last\, with limited inventory available\, and several different options to choose from! \nThis program is made possible by the Ulster County Soil & Water Conservation District. \nWhile we cannot guarantee which tree/shrub species will be available; the giveaway may include the following species: \nArborvitae\, Arrowwood\, White Flowering Dogwood\, Red Osier Dogwood\, Eastern Redbud\, Ninebark\, Pin Oak\, White Oak\, and Sugar Maple.  \n*All species are native varieties: saplings may range in size from 6 inches to 2 feet. \nAccessibility: This is an outdoor event resembling a “drive-through” experience. On arrival at the Main Office parking area\, an attendant will be directing cars through the parking lot via the established electronics recycling traffic pattern “loop.” Ask an attendant about the tree distribution station. The area is a gravel parking lot providing uneven\, loosely compacted rocks. A flat\, paved parking lot area is located about 50 feet from the electronics recycling loop. Residents may park in designated parking areas to collect a tree/shrub\, given staff instructions or the traffic pattern of the loop.  \nInstructions for Planting Trees & Shrubs\nSource: United States Composting Council (USCC) Consumer Compost Use Program \nEstablishment: Excavate a planting hole slightly shallower and 2 to 3 times the width of the root ball or container. Set the root ball on firm soil so that the top of the root ball sits slightly higher than the final grade. Uniformly blend compost with the excavated soil at one (1) part by volume compost to 2-3 parts by volume soil. Compost with higher amounts of salts and nutrients should be used at lower rates (e.g. 1:3 or 1:4 parts compost to soil). Backfill and firm the soil blend around the root ball within the planting hole. Always water thoroughly after planting. It should be noted that whenever possible\, trees and shrubs should be planted in a mass planting bed\, where multiple plants are established in a larger amended bed. This technique allows for greater planting success. Lower compost application rates should be used for salt sensitive crops (e.g.\, conifers)\, or where composts possessing higher salt and nutrient levels are used\, while higher application rates may be used for plants that require greater amounts of fertility. \nMaintenance: Apply a coarser compost mulch (1” – 2” screened) over the garden bed to conserve moisture\, for weed suppression\nand/or for aesthetic purposes. Note: The nutrients contained in compost should be considered when applying fertilization. They\nwill typically offset plant nutrient requirements\, thereby potentially reducing fertilizer application rates. \nCompost has many horticultural benefits and uses. \n\nCompost adds a slow release of nutrients\nCompost adds beneficial soil organisms\, reducing the need to use chemical pesticides\nCompost aids in suppressing plant disease pathogens\, reducing the need to use chemical fertilizers\nCompost increases moisture retention\, so you don’t need to add water to garden beds as frequently\nCompost helps improve soil structure\, porosity\, and density\nCompost makes any soil easier to work and cultivate\n\nDisclaimer: The USCC makes no warranties regarding UCRRA’s Compost product or its contents\, quality\, or suitability for any particular use. Please refer to the individual producer’s product label for specific use instructions. \nLearn more by viewing the UCRRA Rack Card Tree & Shrub \nLearn more about the Agency’s Certified Compost by viewing the UCRRA Brochure STA Program \nWe’re Celebrating Earth Day! \nThe first Earth Day was celebrated in 1970\, when a U.S. Senator organized a national demonstration about environmental issues and environmental conservation. By the end of the year\, the Environmental Protection Agency was created. And by 1990\, Earth Day was celebrated internationally by 140 countries. \nAccording to National Geographic\, roughly 15 billion trees are cut down each year around the globe. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen\, essential for life on Earth! Trees also provide shelter and food for wildlife and help cool the climate. By taking part in activities like planting trees\, and using compost\, we can all do our part to create a healthier\, more sustainable planet. \nRecycled Paper Facts: \nBy weight\, more paper is recovered for recycling in America than all other materials combined (except for steel). In 1988\, recovered paper made up about 25 percent of the raw materials used at US paper mills.  That figure rose to 36.3 percent in 1999 and has remained around 36-37 percent through 2007. More than 3/4 of America’s paper mills use recovered fiber to make some or all of their products. Approximately 140 mills use recovered paper exclusively. As a result\, virtually all types of paper products contain some recycled fiber. Since 1994\, significantly more paper has been recovered in America than landfilled.

The mission is simple but powerful: bring people together to share the benefits of composting organics and using compost to build healthier soil. From the fall poster contest to thousands of events and activities during the week\, ICAW inspires action at every level. Communities\, schools\, governments\, and businesses host celebrations highlighting all types of composting\, from small backyard efforts to large-scale commercial operations\, showing that everyone can play a part in creating a more sustainable future.  In 2024\, Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger declared the first week of May to be Compost Awareness Week! Visit NYSAR3’s New York Compost Awareness Week page for more information about local programs\, events\, and initiatives. \n2026 Theme: Compost! Feed the Soil that Feeds Us! Each year\, a new theme for ICAW is chosen. The 2026 theme is Feed the Soil that Feeds Us! Soil is the foundation of life. It grows the food we eat\, filters the water we drink\, and sustains the biodiversity that keeps our ecosystems in balance. Yet soil is also one of our most threatened resources\, with erosion\, top soil & nutrient depletion\, and contamination endangering its health worldwide. This theme highlights the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) as the anchor. This year’s theme ties directly to UN SDG 15: Life on Land\, reinforcing that protecting and restoring soil is a global priority and one of the most impactful ways we can care for the planet. When we apply high quality compost\, we are investing in the health of our soil\, ensuring it continues to provide the food\, clean water\, and resilience that all life depends on. \nThis year’s winner of the ICAW 2026 Poster Contest is Endurance Oye of Mowe\, Ogun State\, Nigeria. “Inspired by what he calls the “quiet intelligence of nature\,” Endurance’s work reflects how the earth transforms what we discard into nourishment and new life. Growing up close to the land\, he observed firsthand how fallen leaves\, food scraps\, and organic matter return to the soil and fuel renewal. His winning poster visually tells this story through layered soil scenes that reveal decomposition\, microbial activity\, nutrient formation\, and plants reaching toward the light—illustrating composting as a living\, breathing cycle of resilience and transformation.” \nDisclaimer: UCRRA does not make any warranty or representation\, expressed or implied\, regarding the compost bins or other equipment offered for sale by BrandBuilders\, LLC. Purchasers must direct any questions\, claims or disputes regarding their purchase to BrandBuilders LLC. \nShare This Story!
