Recycling in Hillsboro: A Local Guide
Hillsboro, Oregon — Washington County's largest city and home to Intel's largest campus — has three recycling and waste facilities serving different segments of the community. For everyday recyclables, scrap metal, electronics, and appliances, Far West Recycling at 6440 SE Alexander Street is the most versatile option. This RIOS-certified Materials Recovery Facility has operated since 1980 and accepts cardboard, scrap paper, magazines, books, #1 and #2 plastic bottles, aluminum, copper, steel, tin cans, glass, computers, monitors, laptops, printers, and TVs. The public depot is open seven days a week 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Metal buyback and electronics recycling run Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Appliances are also accepted — call 503-643-9944 ahead to confirm. Note that bicycle and walk-in access across the scales and yard is not permitted for safety reasons.
For Oregon bottle and can deposit redemption, BottleDrop at New Seasons Orenco Station (1453 NE 61st Ave) provides a convenient daily drop-off from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The location handles all Oregon Bottle Bill-covered containers — aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic bottles from beverages including water, beer, cider, soda, juice, tea, coffee, and hard seltzer — at 10 cents per container. The Green Bag program lets customers pre-sort containers at home and drop them off in linked account bags. Wine, dairy, and cartons are not covered under the Oregon Bottle Bill and are not accepted.
The third facility, WM Hillsboro Landfill at 3205 SE Minter Bridge Road, is a commercial and industrial disposal site accepting construction and demolition debris, asbestos, soil, sludges, and industrial waste — not household recyclables. The landfill is open Monday–Friday 6 a.m.–4 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m.–noon. The adjacent Tualatin Valley Waste Recovery facility at the same address does offer a residential drop-off area for recyclables and C&D debris.
