SISTERS, Ore. — ‘Tis the season to get rid of your Christmas tree. Central Oregon has a couple options for how to get your tree picked up and many of them support local kids.

The boy scouts in Bend, Sunriver, Madras, Prineville and Redmond will be recycling trees, making their last rounds on the weekend of Jan. 3. For those in Sisters, there are options that support local teams.

The Bandits Baseball teams will be picking up trees on Jan. 3 as part of a fundraiser. Donations can be attached to the trees in a Ziplock bag. To set up a local pickup, you can call or text Thys at (503) 568-4554 or Clint at (541) 908-3394. 

The team says donations will go to tournament fees, gear and facility fees. The suggested donation is $10.

After they are picked up, trees will be donated to the animals at Harmony Farms.
