The City of Newport continues to clean up debris from the recent winter storm event. This event remains one of the most impactful winter storms in recent memory for Newport.
City staff and contracted crews continue to put in long hours removing debris in various locations around the community, but unfortunately cannot be everywhere at once. The efforts to address cleanup will continue in the coming weeks.
Due to the immense amount of woody debris scattered around the community, City efforts are prioritized on removing brush and trees which impact the traveled portion of the roadway, or present a safety hazard. The City is requesting community assistance in cleaning up from this storm.
Thompson’s Sanitary Service will be accepting woody debris at NO CHARGE for residential customers beginning Tuesday January 16, 2024 and ending Saturday January 27, 2024. Please utilize the free available drop off point at the Newport Transfer Station located at 8096 NE Avery, Newport, Oregon 97365 to cleanup woody storm debris from your property/public rights of way which adjoin your property, at the Newport Transfer Station
The City of Newport appreciates the collaboration of Thompson’s Sanitary for offering this service. The City also appreciates your assistance in helping clean up storm debris and expresses thanks for your patience as the City of Newport works to return to normal.
