To participate in the curbside leaf pick-up program:

• Place leaves in the street no earlier than one week before each of the two scheduled pick-up dates for your area.
• Pile leaves – from street trees only – in a row on your street a minimum of 18 inches away from your curb.
• Keep leaf rows less than three feet high.
• Do not block bike lanes, sidewalks, pathways, mailboxes, driveways, or intersections with leaf piles.
• Loose leaves are preferred instead of bagged. If bags are necessary, please use biodegradable paper bags. Plastic bags will not be accepted.
• Place leaves separate from garbage cans and yard debris bins.
• Remove any obstructions, including basketball hoops and parked cars, to allow for the leaf pick-up equipment to collect leaves.
• Crews will not pick up yard debris, tree branches, grass clippings, construction materials, or garbage during leaf pick-up operations.

Drop-Off Leaf Disposal

City of Hillsboro residents can also haul and dispose of leaves at two Saturday drop-off events.

Details

• Dates: Saturday, November 16, 2019 and Saturday, December 7, 2019
• Time: 9:30 am - 3:30 pm
• Location: Fairground Sports Complex, NE 28th Avenue and Veterans Drive, next to the tennis courts 

Only leaves, no other yard debris, will be accepted. While loose leaves are preferred, leaf drop-offs can be brought in biodegradable paper bags, not plastic, for easier recycling.

Help Feed Our Neighbors in Need!

During these drop-off opportunities, the City will be collecting canned food and nonperishable item donations, including peanut butter, canned meats, soups, chili, or cooking oils. All donations go to the Oregon Food Bank and stay in Washington County. Check out the Oregon Food Bank’s Most Wanted Food poster that includes items of need and those to steer clear of when donating food to the Food Bank.
