In English | En español – Help Keep Sidewalks Clear of Leaves

While the changing colors of leaves are beautiful in the Gorge, those same leaves can cause safety concerns. Please keep sidewalks clear of fall leaves – property owners are responsible for keeping the sidewalks adjoining private property in safe condition.

Please place leaves in your yard-waste/compost bin, or take them to Hood River Garbage. Do not rake or blow them onto the sidewalk, gutter, or streets, as they can plug storm drains and cause flooding. If there are catch basins near your property, please help keep them clear of leaves and debris to keep water draining and prevent street flooding.

The City is no longer offering a free leaf drop-off program; however, residents may utilize their yard waste/compost roll-bin provided by Hood River Garbage for weekly pickups. Hood River Garbage also offers a yard waste drop-off at a discounted rate on Wednesdays, where City residents with active accounts may drop off leaves for $5 for their first load. Please make sure all garbage cans are placed safely off the street to allow access for street sweepers. Thank you for keeping Hood River clean and safe!

Ayude a mantener las aceras libres de hojas

Aunque el cambio de color de las hojas hace que la zona del Gorge luzca hermosa, esas mismas hojas pueden generar problemas de seguridad. Por favor, mantenga las banquetas libres de hojas otoñales; los propietarios son responsables de mantener en condiciones seguras las banquetas adyacentes a su propiedad privada.
Coloque las hojas en su contenedor de desechos de jardín/compostaje o llévelas a la compañía Hood River Garbage. No las rastrille ni las sople hacia la banqueta, el canalón o la calle, ya que pueden obstruir los desagües pluviales y causar inundaciones. Si hay sumideros o rejillas de drenaje cerca de su propiedad, ayude a mantenerlos libres de hojas y escombros para permitir el flujo del agua y evitar inundaciones en las calles.

La Ciudad ya no ofrece un programa gratuito de recepción de hojas; sin embargo, los residentes pueden utilizar el contenedor rodante para desechos de jardín y compostaje proporcionado por la compañía Hood River Garbage para la recolección semanal, quienes también ofrece un servicio de recepción de desechos de jardín a tarifa reducida los miércoles, donde los residentes de la Ciudad con cuentas activas pueden depositar hojas por $5 la primera carga. Por favor, asegúrese de colocar todos los contenedores de basura en un lugar seguro, fuera de la calle, para permitir el paso de las barredoras. ¡Gracias por mantener la ciudad de Hood River limpia y segura!

🚨 LOCAL BUSINESS ALERT: Phone Scam Costing Thousands 🚨

The Hood River Police Department is warning the public, local business owners, and managers about an active phone scam targeting area businesses over the past two days.
How the Scam Works:
• The Caller: An unknown individual calling store landlines using the name "Mr. Martinez" or "Matthew Martinez."
• The Pitch: The scammer informs employees about an incoming FedEx shipment supposedly required to pass an upcoming Fire Department inspection.
• The Deception: To sound credible, the scammer sends text messages pretending to be the business owner or manager—even referencing them by their actual name—to "confirm" the shipment and inspection are real.
• The Threat: The caller claims that if a "minimum payment" is not made immediately, the business will face a $10,000 fine.
• The Payoff: Employees are pressured into opening store safes, withdrawing cash, and making an international wire transfer via Western Union.
This scam has already cost local businesses thousands of dollars.

🛑 What to do:
If you are a business owner or manager, please educate your staff immediately. Remind employees to never look up or authorize payments based solely on an unexpected phone call or text, and to always verify such requests through internal company policies.
If you receive a suspicious call like this, hang up and report it to the Hood River Police Department. Please share this post to help protect our local business community!
