Backpack sprayer loan program

Thanks to the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board grant, backpack and hand sprayers are available for check-out to landowners in Jefferson County to treat noxious weeds. This pilot program encourages landowners to treat weeds on their own property and intended to benefit individuals that cannot afford to purchase a quality sprayer unit or rural landowners needing additional sprayers to treat large areas. This program is not intended for businesses.

To check-out a backpack sprayer(4.5 gallons) or hand sprayer(2 gallons), email the Weeds Coordinator at Jefferson County Public Works, tlaird@jeffco.net. Please provide your name, address, phone number and pick-up/drop-off dates. You may also print out this form and bring into the office. Sprayers may be checked-out for a one week period on a first-come, first-served basis.
