Tsunami debris drop-off sites, 211
info and reporting hotline available
From the Central Oregon Coast Assoc.
A network of 32 drop-off sites on the
Oregon Coast now are receiving beach
debris washing ashore from the tsunami
that struck Japan in March 2011.
The drop-off sites are free and are
a combination of state parks and inde­
pendent recycling and transfer stations
located in every county.
Schedules vary for the drop-off
locations and visitors are encouraged
to visit oregon.gov/OPRD/PARKS/
tsunami_debris.shtml for a digital map
with complete detailed locations and
hours, plus a list of common questions
and answers about tsunami debris.
State parks will accept bagged debris
every day during normal operating hours.
The drop-off sites will accept debris
in official beach cleanup bags produced
by SOLVE, which are available at state
park campgrounds. All locations are listed
online at oregonstateparks.org.

should drag it above high tide, if pos­
sible, then call 211 or 800-SAFENET
(800-723-3638) to report the date
and location.
Beach visitors who find tires, appli­
ances or other large objects should
not attempt to bring these items to
the drop-off sites on their own; report
them instead.
Debris with living organisms should
be reported (with a photo if possible,
location and date) then moved above
high tide or removed from the beach,
bagged and delivered to a drop-off site.
Never move organisms to another body
of water (even at home). This will help
reduce the threat of invasive species.

Much of the small debris is rigid foam
and plastic. Don’t break up the foam.
Put it in the bag and tie it shut.
Residents and visitors who see a piece
of debris too large to fit into a bag
