 COCHISE COUNTY - It’s not too early to think about recycling your Christmas tree and now anyone in the county can participate. The City of Sierra Vista Public Works Department has offered to expand their Christmas Tree recycling program to include all residents of Cochise County.


 Cut trees will be accepted for FREE at all Cochise County Transfer Stations both Urban and Rural from the Monday, December 29th through Friday the 9th of January. There will be a charge for any other waste brought in other than the trees.

 The trees will be transported by the Cochise County Solid Waste Department to the City of Sierra Vista Compost Facility where they will be processed and made into compost which is available for purchase. 

 If you have a live tree you would like to donate to the County, please call 803-3770 to make arrangements.  These live trees will be planted at your neighboring transfer station or the Western Regional Landfill for beautification purposes; they will be planted and cared for by Department of Corrections Inmates.

 For more information about recycling, call the County Solid Waste Department at 803-3770.
