City of Happy Valley Encourages a Safe and Responsible Fourth of July
As the Fourth of July approaches, the City of Happy Valley wants to remind residents: if you have illegal fireworks at home, there is a safe, easy, and completely anonymous way to get rid of them, no questions asked, no citations issued.
The Fireworks Amnesty Drop-Off Program is available through today July 3, 2026, with drop-off accepted between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Happy Valley Community Policing Center, 12915 SE King Rd. A clearly marked receptacle is located near the front entrance. Residents who still have fireworks to turn in are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to dispose of them safely and responsibly.
Participating helps protect what matters most in our community:
- Reducing the risk of wildfires and protecting our open spaces
- Easing distress for pets, who are often overwhelmed by loud noises
- Supporting veterans and others affected by PTSD
- Keeping neighborhoods safe and peaceful for all families
- Preserving emergency lines for life-threatening situations
The City’s Fireworks Task Force, specially trained officers dedicated to fireworks enforcement will be actively patrolling Happy Valley neighborhoods through the holiday weekend. Anyone found using or in possession of illegal fireworks will receive an automatic $1,000 fine and may face criminal charges.
Residents can report illegal fireworks use through two simple options:
- Submit a Concern online at hv.city/report-a-concern
- Call the Non-Emergency Line at (503) 655-8211
Please call 9-1-1 only for active emergencies that endanger life or are causing immediate harm to property. Keeping 9-1-1 available for true emergencies ensures help reaches those who need it most.
