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.

* The Tillamook Transfer Station (1315 Eckloff Rd.) will be closing at 1 p.m. this Saturday, 8/9, to allow staff to enjoy the Tillamook County Fair. The household hazardous waste event on-site is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.*

*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 next six months will consist of implementation, including new signage, new bins, new storage facilities. Please call the Tillamook County Solid Waste Service District if you have any questions*
