FireFree encourages residents to complete their fall clean up and maintenance of defensible space by bringing branches, leaves, shrubs, and pine needles to Deschutes Recycling during this event.

"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.

25% Off ReGrow, BioFine & SoilBuilder Compost

Pick up some compost today to Topdress your lawn or Mulch your plants for the fall gardening season. Compost is an essential ingredient to winterizing your lawn and garden.

Deschutes Recycling compost is tested by a US Composting approved lab to ensure quality and reliability.

ReGrow Compost is now only $22.00 per yard, a savings of $8 per yard.

BioFine Compost is now only $19.00 per yard, a savings of $7 per yard.

SoilBuilder Compost is now only $15.00 per yard, a savings of $5 per yard.

Mulching for winter:  Around the time your perennials are dying back for winter and the ground is freezing, you should mulch around your plants with a few inches of SoilBuilder.  The dark compost will help insulate the roots and attract sunlight in the spring helping the soil warm a little more quickly, while releasing nutrients for your awakening plants. You will also have moisture-holding mulch in place for the coming heat of summer.  For excellent, ready-to-plant soil, till 2-3 inches of compost into beds you will plant the following spring or summer.



Topdressing the lawn:  Apply a thin layer (¼ to ½ inch) of BioFine or ReGrow compost to your lawn in the fall and again in the spring to help build up a good supply of organic matter and nutrients for the next growing season.  If you haven’t done this yet, you will be amazed at what topdressing does for your lawn!  In addition to helping your grass grow stronger and greener, it reduces thatch, makes turf more drought-resistant and saves water by helping soil hold moisture.  It also helps bare spots fill in, helps lawns fight fungal diseases, reduces your need for fertilizers and keeps fertilizers from washing away.

New Compost Product....Coming Soon....

Deschutes Recycling is excited to annouce a new compost product called ReGrow.

ReGrow is produced locally from a combination of yard trimmings and food waste material in Central Oregon. All of our compost is independently tested by a US Composting Council approved lab to ensure quality and reliability.

ReGrow compost will have all the great nutrients that BioFine and SoilBuilder contain but in addition it will contain higher nitrogen content that comes from the food waste. This will be great for our Central Oregon soils which are naturally poor in quality and lack organic matter, which can be the source of many plant problems.

ReGrow will be available in the spring of 2012 at Deschutes Recycling, located at Knott Landfill, in Bend. Be sure to try some for your garden. Deschutes Recycling offers self haul and delivery service, including Saturdays . For more information, call 541.388.1910.

Deschutes Recycling offers school tours of the Recycling Center and the Organics operation. Kids can learn what types of materials can be recycled and where they go once someone drops it off for recycling. Find out what the number one contaminant in recycling is.
