Solid Waste Administration

Our Purpose

Tillamook County regulates solid waste management, providing a coordinated and fiscally responsible solid waste program to protect the health, safety and welfare of the people, and the natural and scenic resources of Tillamook County.

Tillamook County seeks to minimize the impacts of materials throughout their lifecycle, implementing outreach and education strategies that encourage thoughtful consumption, the reduction of toxics, and the recovery of our material resources.

* Next hazardous waste collection event is scheduled for Saturday 08/15, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the TIllamook Transfer Station (1315 Eckloff Rd.). Business drop-off is available on 08/14 at the same location. Reservation is required (paperwork on website).

*Starting on July 28th the Pacific City Transfer Station will shift to a modified operations schedule. Municipal solid waste (garbage) and yard debris will only be accepted on Saturdays and Sundays. Recycling collection will be moved to Cloverdale Publics Works building, with access available on Thursday-Friday. Thank you for your cooperation*

*The Oregon Recycling Modernization Act (RMA) is effective as of July, 1 2025. The new law will enable Tillamook County to collect more materials for recycling at our three transfer stations, as well as provide increased opportunities to offer curbside recycling. The Manzanita and Pacific City transfer stations now accepts all types of #1, #2 & #5 plastics (tubs, nursery pots, buckets), as well as aseptic cartons*
