George Fox is once again partnering with Hillsboro Airporter to provide a shuttle service to Portland International Airport for Thanksgiving break.
Students will be expected to work directly with Hillsboro Airporter to reserve their spot. See the details below:
- The cost for one passenger is $65 plus a tip. Each additional passenger is $3.
- Each shuttle can fit five to six passengers. The cost per student is based on the total number of passengers during the scheduled times, so if you can fill one shuttle with six passengers, the cost per student could be as low as $15.
- Make your reservations more than 24 hours in advance and Hillsboro Airporter can group you together. To reserve your spot, click here.
- Hillsboro Airporter accepts cash or credit card for payment. Parents can call Hillsboro Airporter with a credit card to pay for their student’s fare.
- Hillsboro Airporter has 24/7 service. It will work with students and their families to put students together to lower the cost of the fare.

Plant Services is happy to announce the return of campus-wide indoor recycling! Over the next two months, all of the Newberg campus dumpsters will be transitioned over to Waste Management Northwest, which includes the return of recycling bins in the garbage enclosures. In addition, our team will be distributing the indoor blue recycling containers for office and dorm room use.
Please keep in mind:
- Trash cannot be mixed with recycling. Any recycling bin containing trash will go to the landfill and will not be recycled. In addition, the university will be charged a contamination fee every time a recycling load must be treated as garbage.
- All recycled items must be clean and dry.
- Clean plastic bottles, jugs, and tubs are recyclable, as are clean empty tin, aluminum, and steel cans.
- Clean paper, magazines and newspaper can be recycled, as well as clean flattened cardboard.
- Any item that has been contaminated with a substance (e.g. the consumable has soaked into the material, such as grease in a pizza box or coffee in a takeout cup) should be thrown away as garbage.
For the most up-to-date campus recycling information, see this webpage. Questions? Contact Dixie Downey at ddowney@georgefox.edu.
