Christmas Tree Recycling


Boy Scout Troop 27 will be picking up Christmas trees for recycling in Redmond, Terrebonne, and Eagle Crest on December 29 and January 5. 
Trees will be recycled so please have trees cleaned of all lights, decorations and tinsel. Place trees at the edge of the curb or a location that is visible from the road by 9:00 a.m.
A tax-deductible donation of $5.00 is appreciated. A check is preferred and should be made payable to “Boy Scouts of America”. Place your donation in a plastic bag and securely attach it to your tree with a rubber band. Proceeds go to support Redmond Boy Scout troop activities throughout the year.
Residents in Eagle Crest, Terrebonne and outside Redmond city limits, please call 541-385-3989 to provide the pickup address. All other areas, no reservation is required. The phone line will be activated after December 1.

If you require a Christmas tree pick up after January 6, High Country Disposal will collect your tree on your garbage day the week of January 7 - 11 for a $5 charge.  Just set your tree out next to your roll cart. Trees free of tinsel and flocking will be recycled whenever possible.

At no charge, Negus Transfer Station in Redmond and the Sisters Recycle Center will take Christmas trees through January 31. 

Other locations include Northwest Transfer Station located on Fryrear Road, Deschutes Recycling located at Knott Landfill in Bend. Contact the Department of Solid Waste for guidelines and transfer station hours at 541-317-3163.  Trees cannot have tinsel of flocking.
