Japanese beetle yard debris drop-off site CLOSING Oct. 4 2019.

9/9/2019

 
The Japanese beetle yard debris drop off site at Northwest Landscape Services in Hillsboro will be CLOSING for the Fall and Winter on Friday, October 4, 2019 at 5pm. Northwest Landscape services will not be used for the Japanese beetle yard debris in 2020, and we will notify everyone with the new location of the yard debris drop off site in 2020. The reason for the closure is the reduced risk of spreading adult beetles during the Fall and Winter. Other businesses in the area that handle yard debris waste can take loads from the quarantine area during the closure. 
​
Curbside yard debris will continue to be redirected to the Hillsboro Landfill as part of the Japanese beetle eradication and containment project. Please continue to use your curbside bins normally. 

Also, loads of fall leaves DO NOT need to be taken to the Japanese beetle yard debris drop off site in Hillsboro. Loads of fallen leaves are not a risk to spread Japanese beetle and are not part of the quarantined material. Please see the list below for material that falls within the quarantine.

Quarantined yard debris and material:
  • grass clippings
  • plants with roots or soil attached
  • sod or removed turfgrass
  • growing media (i.e. potting soil from raised beds or potted plants, NOT fill dirt)
  • compost
  • bulbs or tubers of ornamental plants
  • mixed loads containing any of the above material (avoid mixed loads containing garbage and non-plant material)
Not necessary or acceptable materials:
  • tree limbs or prunings (no roots attached)
  • shrubs prunings or clippings (no roots attached)
  • fill dirt
  • loads of only leaves in the Fall/Autumn
  • lumber or fence boards with dirt attached
  • non-plant materials (for example: lumber, cement, gravel, and fencing)
  • materials not on the list of quarantined debris or materials​
