City of North Bend release - North Bend, Ore. — The North Bend Fire Department will continue its long-standing tradition of providing Christmas tree pickup for city residents on Saturday, January 3, 2026. This annual service not only helps remove a seasonal fire hazard from local homes but also supports families in need throughout the community.  Residents of North Bend are asked to place their undecorated Christmas trees at the curb the night before pickup. For each tree collected, firefighters will leave a self-addressed donation envelope, with a suggested minimum donation of $10 per tree. All proceeds benefit the North Bend Volunteer Firefighters Association’s “Kids for Christmas” program, which provides food and gifts to local families experiencing hardship during the holiday season.  Donations may also be mailed or delivered in person to:  North Bend Fire Station, 1880 McPherson Street, North Bend, OR 97459 (Located across from the post office).  Checks should be made payable to the North Bend Volunteer Firefighters Association.  Residents who miss the scheduled pickup day may arrange an individual tree removal by contacting Assistant Chief Brian Waddington at (541) 756-8181. Christmas trees may also be dropped off at any time in the northwest corner of the fire station parking lot.  For more information, please contact the North Bend Fire Department at (541) 756-8181.
