tree pick up after January 5, Bend Garbage & Recycling will collect your
tree on your garbage day the week of January 6 - 10 for a $5 charge. Set your tree out next to your roll cart.

For city customers with curbside yard debris
service, you can recycle your Christmas
tree in your yard debris cart. Cut
the tree down to 3 or 4 smaller pieces and put it in your yard debris
cart.
