Tillamook, OR – Cleanup operations continued this week across Tillamook County as sheriff’s deputies responded to multiple longstanding trespass sites involving abandoned RVs, debris piles, and environmental hazards.
According to the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office, deputies recently visited several unauthorized encampments on both public and private property where vehicle parts, trash, and hazardous materials had accumulated over extended periods of unlawful camping. Officials said the conditions created safety risks for residents, impacted nearby landowners, and contributed to ongoing property degradation.
Upon arrival at the sites, deputies reported finding extensive garbage, environmental damage, and lingering hazards tied to prolonged occupation. Sheriff’s officials noted that the cleanup work is part of a broader countywide initiative to support property owners and prevent locations from turning into long-term problem areas.
Sheriff Josh Brown said the department remains focused on reducing environmental harm and improving community safety. “We’re committed to protecting our community and keeping these sites from becoming long-term hazards,” Sheriff Brown said. “Our goal is to support property owners, reduce environmental damage, and ensure these areas don’t continue to accumulate debris.”
The Sheriff’s Office said cleanup efforts will continue as needed, adding that deputies will keep working alongside property owners and partner agencies to prevent future impacts. Officials encouraged residents to report similar trespass concerns so deputies can assess potential risks and coordinate cleanup support where appropriate.
