Waste Management - Hillsboro Landfill

A working landfill on the east side of Hillsboro where both residents and businesses bring trash that’s headed to the final burial cell. Lots of local contractors and people doing big cleanups use it, so expect a steady stream of trucks most weekdays and busier weekends during yard cleanup seasons.

There’s a weigh scale and an attendant booth at the entrance - vehicles stop, get weighed, go dump, then stop again on the way out for a final weight. The property is large and mostly gravel with open tipping areas and visible earth-moving equipment; don’t expect landscaped grounds. Because Oregon emphasizes recycling, many people arrive with recyclables sorted beforehand and commercial loads are commonly accepted and charged by weight.
