Far West Recycling JunkYard in Hillsboro (OR)

Very efficient group working there. Just make sure to stay out of all the commercial vehicles, there are a lot of them. As soon as you get off the scale, pull off to the side by the metal to get out of their way.

They are easy to use and inexpensive. Pull in, pay the fee, and unload cardboard, metals, etc. No matter how much you have to unload, it's still only $5. I love this place.

The people working there have always been very nice and really helpful. They do a great job of keeping the place clean .(As far as recycling places go)

Need to have updated hours posted for the recycling are. Hours shown as 7am but posted sign says 8am

They had the gate open and a bit of DIY drop-off for Electronics, which is good, but I was directed there by the Goodwill, on a Sunday afternoon to recycle a couch that was too "Well loved" to be accepted there. There were people operating machines but nobody came down to the front doors. The office had a sign for the office hours. If you're going to have a drop off area, and leave the larger area open you should give more clear information about what you are open for, otherwise just close the gate and post your hours like other business. We tried getting people's attention for twenty minutes and then left.

Person working at the front desk was friendly and helpful. I had a bunch of cardboard to drop off after moving and discovered it was free to drop off cardboard. They ask that you flatten out boxes as much as possible but that's it!

Generally it's a really fast process, which is nice. That said their policies are very unclear. I looked through everything I could find to make sure that I could bring cut up pieces of a car chassis (a chassis which I have a title for), drove out and was told that they could not accept it unless it was 'mangled enough to be unrecognizable.' So it was a wasted trip and already a lot of work just to get it loaded. I understand they're trying to deter theft, etc, but I would love that information to be posted somewhere so I don't spend a lot of time and energy getting scrap cut into manageable pieces and loaded just to drive it all the way back home.

Most unorganized place I've ever been. The people were very nice but the lot seems directionless trucks,cars,heavy equipment going in every direction. I felt like I was in the way everytime I moved.

Easy just drove up on the left scale waited for the green light, unloaded, drove back non the scale and stopped at the office to get paid. In and out in less then 10 minutes. Helpful and friendly .

Good place to go when you end up with too much cardboard, but their plastic recycling is so restrictive that they are not of much use there. Despite what some old info on their website indicates (pdf linked from a Google search) and what I have seen in a recent review, they do not take styrofoam of any kind.

Very awasome place.🤙❤ The lady at front desk🤙 Hannah🤙is very polite and always willing to help with any questions you may ask. Took in some broken cords and clean copper and metal good prices awesome place. Aloha everyone. Will be back.

Very accommodating recycling depot for the public. Well organized for safety and cleaniness. If you are going to recycle here please don't leave without putting $5 (donation) in the yellow box near the recycle bins! This helps to cover their recycling costs and keeping it free to the public to recycle at their facility.

I take scrap there. They're not very clear on their instructions and the scaling in and out when you have mixed loads can really be a hassle, when you have to do it on the same scale! When semi's are going in and out there's not enough room to safely get around. Be careful not to be runover by a forklift! I drove forklift for quite a few years loading and unloading trucks, stocking mill workers with supplies, I don't know how some of there drivers got certified to operate forklifts! When you go here BE VERY SAFETY CONCIOUS! BE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND YOU AT ALL TIMES!

The Oregon E-Cycles website points to this location as participating, yet the front desk asserts they don't participate, and wants to charge a fee to accept a covered electronic device

This place is an absolute joke 3 separate occasions as early as 2:00pm when the website clearly states they don't close till 5pm ive been turned away becuse they were "closed" the woman that runs the scales is clearly only after her own agenda not the interests of her company she needs to be investigated by the company I for one am going to drive the extra miles to never bring this company another peace of scrap again i am just.astounded by how poorly this company is being run and how un professional its employees are if i could I would give this place a -10 get it to gather people

Can't say enough good about this place always fair with pricing great people work there and always get in and out fast...

I do like this place, but this says they are open on Sundays. Piled my car full of cardboard and drove there just to find out they are closed on Sundays! Please update your information!!!!

This is a wonderful handy local place to bring your small or industrial size recycling pile. You must mask up and additional protective gear is recommended. Fair prices for clean recycling products.

For the standard recyclables... glass, cardboard, plastic bags... this is an easy and quick drop off. They do require a $5 fee per car. Note: they no longer accept styrofoam.

$5 fee alone is ridiculous makes them not worth going to. Probably best to look elsewhere. They already pay less than other yards in the portland area.

Moved to a rental house, right down the street from it. They operate on crazy hours with loud glass bottle crashing noises in the middle of the night at midnight and even early morning at 6:30am. What the f**k?!?!?? Not sure if this is even legal to put a recycling next to a neighborhood zone that operates in the middle of the night and in the early morning. How the f**k do you expect ppl to sleep 6 hours a day?

Metal Buy Back Hours are.... Monday 7am-4pm Tuesday 7am-4pm Wednesday 7am-4pm Thursday 7am-4pm Friday 7am-4pm Saturday 9am-3pm Sunday CLOSED Your General Recycling in the Public Depot 7 days a week 8am-5pm There are 2 sets of hours for 2 different things, Google does not show both sets of hours.

The $5.00 charge is bull,someone just needed beer money.it may not seem like alot of money,but shouldn't be charged to the people in the same field. This is the ONLY place I know of that does this!!NOT COOL!!!!

Couldn't find anything to dump wood, but other recycling stations are clearly define... I recycled big chunk of cardboard boxes, flatten it before you take it for recycling.

Elderly woman and 2 construction workers nearly killed by loader operator being careless. I used profanity when I addressed this careless operator and we were told to leave we are osha 30 certified this is a joke stay away!!!!!!!!!!

Are these guys are awesome I've been going to them for years!

Very careless workers constantly dropping large containers of bottles at all hours of the night. If you recycle here you are directly affecting the sleep of hundreds of nearby residents!
