HALF PRICE YARD DEBRIS RECYCLING
from
Deschutes Recycling and FireFree
October 31st through November 12th, (closed Sunday Nov 6 and Friday Nov 11) residents can recycle
their yard debris at Deschutes Recycling for HALF PRICE – only $2.00 per cubic yard. The yard debris
will be recycled into compost and clean energy fuel.
FireFree encourages residents to complete their fall clean up and maintenance of defensible space by
bringing braches, leaves, shrubs and pine needles to Deschutes Recycling during this event.
Residents can take advantage of this event as an alternative to fall burning and recycle the
combustible vegetation inside the 30-100 feet of defensible space around their homes.
“Since the City of Bend banned debris burning in 2009, this program has become an excellent opportunity
for greater Bend residents to recycle their debris inexpensively and legally,” says Katie Lighthall,
FireFree Coordinator.
“This is a great opportunity to partner with FireFree in offering a 50% discount off yard debris recycling.
We hope residents will be able to clean up their fall leaves and pine needles and help provide a safe
FireFree space around their homes,” says Brad Bailey, President of Deschutes Recycling.
Deschutes Recycling is open Monday – Saturday
7:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
61050 SE 27th Street, Bend
Remember, Deschutes Recycling and Knott Landfill are closed on Sundays.
