Log Garden

We don't let anything go to waste! Even this rotted log, that would typically be dumped into a landfill, can be repurposed into a planter in just a few easy steps.

1. Scoop out the inside of the log with a small garden shovel to created a well for your plants
2. Fill in the log with desired amount of potting soil, depending on the size of the plant you plan on using
3. For smaller logs with shallow wells, succulents are a good option because they do not require as much water or soil as other plants. For logs with deeper wells, add extra soil and plant flowers such as Black Eyed Susans (our favorite at CitiLog!)
4. Water!

CitiLog Wins USGBCNJ Green Ground Breaking Award

We are pleased to announce that CitiLog is one of the winners of the 2012 USGBCNJ Green Ground Breaking Award! This award recognizes companies that are on the cutting-edge of sustainability and green building.
Our CitiLog Newark site is a true display of sustainability, as our zero-waste facility has diverted 2,000+ logs from ending up in landfills from May-July 2012. We are honored to be recognized for such a prestigious award and are so proud of our CitiLog team!

Beginnings of Power at Newark

The day began as a crane moved pieces of the unit off the truck and into place.

By the end of the day, phase one of the power station install is completed.

Yesterday marked phase one of CitiLog Newark's power station install. Our team worked throughout the day as components of the station were delivered on to the site. With the assistance of the crew, a large crane positioned the components into place.

Once the power unit is complete our site will be 100% self-sufficient; producing our own electricity, heating, and eventually cooling. Due to the unique characteristics of urban trees such as holes, rot, metal containment, etc., urban areas have a high rate of unusable and disposable wood. CitiLog uses this disposable wood to create green power.

CitiLog will have more updates following our power station install in the weeks to come!”
