Yard Debris Recycling
RED days, GREEN days...
See the calendar below to determine
your pickup days. If
you are unsure when yard debris is collected on
your street, call the office at 503-531-6330 or
email us with your street address.
On your yard debris day, you can set out one 32-gallon can OR one
kraft paper yard debris bag (no plastic bags)
OR one bundle of yard trimmings
for pickup at no extra charge. Any additional cans,
bags, or bundles are only $2.76 each (Portland
residents $2.00, Beaverton residents $3.00).
