Yard debris quarantine drop site opens TODAY!

6/1/2020

 
The yard debris drop-off site opens TODAY at Best Buy in Town Landscape Supply*
*In previous years, Northwest Landscape Services (NLS) was the yard debris quarantine drop site, Best Buy in Town Landscape Supply (BBIT) is the new yard debris quarantine site. 
**The yard debris quarantine drop site is opening later in the season than past years, this delay is a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic. 

Best Buy in Town Landscape Supply

Hillsboro, OR - 503-506-6446
Hours for yard debris drop-off starting June 1 2020:

The redirection of curbside materials for deep burial at Hillsboro landfill began on April 1, 2020.

This quarantine is in place to help stop the spread of Japanese beetle. Landscapers and residents with large loads of yard debris (materials that do not fit in curbside containers) within the quarantine boundary (see map below) must use this FREE drop-off site for large loads of yard debris that contains quarantined material (see list below). Residents within the treatment area can also continue to use their curbside containers for smaller loads of yard debris. All curbside containers are being re-directed to Hillsboro landfill for deep burial.
