News Release

Help Keep Happy Valley Safe This Fourth Of July — Fireworks Amnesty Program Returns (Community Members May Anonymously Dispose Of Illegal Fireworks June 29–July 3 At No Risk) (Photo) - 06/29/26

In an ongoing effort to prioritize community safety, the City of Happy Valley is partnering with residents, the Happy Valley Police Department, and the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office to host the annual Fireworks Amnesty Drop-Off program.

 

From June 29–July 3, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., community members can anonymously dispose of illegal fireworks at the Happy Valley Community Policing Center (12915 SE King Rd.). A clearly marked receptacle will be located near the front entrance for easy, judgment-free drop-off. No questions will be asked, and no identifying information will be collected.

 

While fireworks are a cherished part of Fourth of July celebrations, illegal fireworks pose serious risks to our community. Beyond the threat of personal injury, property damage, and wildfires, they can also trigger severe anxiety in veterans with PTSD, young children, and pets, who may become distressed or disoriented by loud and unpredictable explosions. This program gives residents a simple, safe, and responsible way to take part in keeping Happy Valley safe.

 

Happy Valley has maintained a zero-tolerance policy on illegal fireworks, in place since 2010. The City’s dedicated Fireworks Task Force will be actively monitoring neighborhoods in the days leading up to the holiday. Anyone found using illegal fireworks within City limits will be subject to an immediate $1,000 citation.

 

We encourage all Happy Valley residents who have illegal fireworks to take advantage of this program. It’s quick, easy, and completely anonymous and it makes a real difference for our neighbors, our pets, and our community.

 

Residents are encouraged to report illegal fireworks use by calling the non-emergency police line at 503-655-8211. Please call 9-1-1 only if there is an active emergency that endangers life or is causing immediate harm to property. Reserving 9-1-1 for true emergencies ensures that those who need help most can get it quickly.
