City collection Furniture is one of the named bulky categories here. A couch or loveseat is an extra large item, a sectional is billed by section, and dressers, desks, bookshelves, chairs, filing cabinets, end tables and plant stands sit in the smaller tiers. The county publishes the rate structure rather than one price: the cost is a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item, and items that are not on the published list are billed by size and weight plus the pickup fee. Confirm the estimate with the collection company that serves your address, or with Washington County at 503-846-3605 if you are unsure who collects there.
City collection Mattresses and box springs are named among the examples of bulky waste the collection company picks up, with a king set in the extra large tier and every other size in the large tier. A mattress and box spring set is priced by tier, a king set as an extra large item and all other sizes as a large item, on top of the flat pickup fee. Confirm the current estimate with the collection company that serves your address.
City collection Appliances have two tiers on the county list: ordinary appliances such as stoves, dishwashers, washers, dryers and water heaters, and coolant containing appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, portable air conditioners, dehumidifiers and water coolers. Appliances and coolant containing appliances are separate tiers on top of the flat pickup fee, and the charge for each unit is set by the collection company that serves the address. Confirm the estimate before the unit goes out.
City collection Aloha has an on-call bulky pickup from the garbage and recycling company, not a fixed bulk day. The county lists the tiers, the pickup covers tires and televisions that cannot go in the garbage, and reuse or donation is named as the first option. The cost is a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item, and anything that is not on the published list is billed by size and weight plus the pickup fee. The collection company that serves the address gives the estimate, and Washington County can be reached at 503-846-3605.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Aloha is unincorporated, so Washington County sets the garbage and recycling rules and rates here rather than a city hall, and every address is served by one of the county's certificated collection companies. The bulky route is an on-call pickup from that company, priced as a flat fee plus a charge for each item, and it is the local way to send out furniture, mattresses, appliances, tires and televisions that must not go in the garbage. Household chemicals are free to drop off at Metro's household hazardous waste facilities, and Metro also runs the transfer stations for anything a household hauls itself.
Furniture is one of the named bulky categories here. A couch or loveseat is an extra large item, a sectional is billed by section, and dressers, desks, bookshelves, chairs, filing cabinets, end tables and plant stands sit in the smaller tiers.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes the rate structure rather than one price: the cost is a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item, and items that are not on the published list are billed by size and weight plus the pickup fee. Confirm the estimate with the collection company that serves your address, or with Washington County at 503-846-3605 if you are unsure who collects there.
When & how
Contact your garbage and recycling company for an estimate and to schedule the bulky pickup. The bulky collection day may differ from your normal collection day, so use the day the company gives you.
Get it ready
Sort the load by size before you call, because the price depends on the tier each piece falls into. Keep mattresses, appliances, tires and electronics separate from general furniture, and drain and remove the tank from a barbecue grill before it goes out.
Mattresses and box springs are named among the examples of bulky waste the collection company picks up, with a king set in the extra large tier and every other size in the large tier.
City cost & eligibility
A mattress and box spring set is priced by tier, a king set as an extra large item and all other sizes as a large item, on top of the flat pickup fee. Confirm the current estimate with the collection company that serves your address.
When & how
Schedule the pickup with your collection company and put the set out on the bulky day the company gives you, which may differ from your normal collection day.
Get it ready
Send the mattress and its box spring out together as one set so it is billed as a set rather than as two items, and keep it dry and separate from the rest of the pile. Metro's transfer station guidance also lists mattresses among the items worth presorting for self-haul loads.
Appliances have two tiers on the county list: ordinary appliances such as stoves, dishwashers, washers, dryers and water heaters, and coolant containing appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, portable air conditioners, dehumidifiers and water coolers.
City cost & eligibility
Appliances and coolant containing appliances are separate tiers on top of the flat pickup fee, and the charge for each unit is set by the collection company that serves the address. Confirm the estimate before the unit goes out.
When & how
Book the pickup with your collection company. A barbecue grill is on the appliance list but the tank has to be removed first.
Get it ready
Empty and defrost the unit, keep the doors in place unless the hauler asks otherwise, and keep a coolant containing appliance out of the general garbage so the refrigerant is handled through the bulky route. Remove the propane tank from a grill before it is collected.
Televisions are called out twice by the county: bulky waste pickup includes televisions that must not be thrown in the garbage, and the electronics tier lists a television and a monitor alongside computers, laptops, printers and peripherals.
City cost & eligibility
Television and monitor pickups sit on the electronics tier above the flat pickup fee, and the per item charge is set by the collection company that serves the address. Metro also takes electronics in a self-haul load at its transfer stations for its own disposal charge. Confirm the estimate with the company before the set goes out.
When & how
Book the pickup with your collection company, or haul the screen to a Metro transfer station during public hours. Metro Central is open to the general public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from anything that powers on, keep the screen out of the garbage cart, and protect the panel in transport. Metro asks that separated recyclables travel on top of or at one end of a self-haul load, and that batteries stay separate from everything else because they cause fires.
Computers, laptops, printers and computer peripherals are listed together with televisions and monitors on the electronics tier of the county bulky list, so a device travels the same route as a screen.
City cost & eligibility
Each electronic item carries its own charge on the electronics tier in addition to the flat pickup fee, and the collection company that serves the address sets the amount. Metro transfer stations take electronics in a self-haul load for the disposal charge. Confirm the estimate before the pickup.
When & how
Book a bulky pickup with your collection company, or drive the devices to a Metro transfer station during public hours.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from anything that powers on, remove removable batteries and keep every battery separated from other material, because Metro states that batteries can cause fires in garbage and recycling. Metro's preparation guidance also asks that items travel upright in sturdy boxes in a single layer with lids secured.
Construction and demolition material is not one of the named bulky categories, and the county says items that are not on the list are billed by size and weight plus a pickup fee, so a renovation load has to be arranged separately.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes no construction tier, only the rule that unlisted items are billed by size and weight plus the pickup fee. Confirm the haul and the price with your collection company or with the county at 503-846-3605 before a container or a load is arranged.
When & how
Ask the collection company that serves your address whether it will haul the material and on what terms, or arrange a private roll-off container. Metro's transfer station pages read for this packet describe household garbage, recycling, food waste and other debris without naming construction and demolition loads.
Get it ready
Keep construction and demolition material out of the garbage cart and out of the bulky pile until the hauler confirms it can be taken, and separate concrete, wood and metal if you are hauling the load yourself so each can be billed correctly.
Exercise equipment is not on the county's bulky item list, although a treadmill is the kind of large household item the bulky service exists for, so the machine has to be confirmed with the collection company first.
City cost & eligibility
An exercise machine is not on the published tier list, and the county says items that are not listed are billed by size and weight plus a pickup fee, so the price depends on what the collection company that serves the address quotes when you describe the machine.
When & how
Call the collection company that serves your address with the size and weight of the machine, then book the pickup once it confirms the haul and the price.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will go, keep loose weights with the frame so one person can handle the load, and remove any battery or electronic console before it goes out. Keep it clear of carts and other obstacles on the collection day.
Aloha has an on-call bulky pickup from the garbage and recycling company, not a fixed bulk day. The county lists the tiers, the pickup covers tires and televisions that cannot go in the garbage, and reuse or donation is named as the first option.
City cost & eligibility
The cost is a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item, and anything that is not on the published list is billed by size and weight plus the pickup fee. The collection company that serves the address gives the estimate, and Washington County can be reached at 503-846-3605.
When & how
Contact the collection company for an estimate and an appointment. The bulky day may differ from the normal garbage and recycling day, so put the items out on the day the company gives you.
Get it ready
Sort the load by tier before you call, because extra large, large, medium, small, appliance, coolant containing appliance, electronics and tire items are each priced differently. Keep batteries separate from everything else, since Metro states they are a fire risk, and consider donating anything still in good condition before booking the pickup.
Automotive tires without rims are a category on the county bulky item list, and the county states that bulky waste pickup includes tires that must not be thrown in the garbage.
City cost & eligibility
Tires are priced on their own tier in addition to the flat pickup fee, and the collection company that serves the address sets the amount. Confirm the price and the tire limit with the company before the tires go out.
When & how
Book the pickup with the collection company that serves your address. The county also lists recycling centers such as Far West Recycling in Hillsboro at 6440 SE Alexander St and Pride Recycling Depot in Sherwood at 13980 SW Tualatin-Sherwood Rd if you would rather haul them.
Get it ready
Remove the rims before the pickup, because the county lists automotive tires without rims, and keep the tires clear of the carts and of any obstacle on the collection day.
Chemicals never go in a cart or a bulky pile. Metro takes household hazardous waste free at two facilities, with a daily limit measured by container size, and it asks for the material to be packed a specific way for the trip.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free for households at Metro Central and Metro South, with a daily limit of 35 gallons of waste measured by container size. Businesses must apply for a permit, make an appointment and pay a fee, and waste that belongs at the main transfer stations has to go there instead.
When & how
Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland takes household hazardous waste Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is closed Sunday, and Metro South at 2001 Washington St in Oregon City takes it from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Both are closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days, and Metro's expert line is 503-234-3000.
Get it ready
Keep products in their original containers, place them upright in sturdy boxes in a single layer with the lids secured, put broken or leaking containers in zip top bags, and label an unmarked container only if you are certain of the contents. Wrap fluorescent tubes in a bag or towel instead of taping them, use an FDA cleared red sharps container with free containers available, and double bag asbestos in labelled six mil plastic. Containers, including fuel cans, cannot be returned.
Book the bulky pickup with your collection company
Aloha addresses are served by one of the county's certificated garbage and recycling companies, so the estimate and the appointment both come from that company. The bulky collection day may differ from the normal collection day, the cost is a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item, and anything not on the county list is billed by size and weight instead. Sort the load by tier before you call so the estimate matches what goes out.
Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland is open to the general public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and Metro's preparation guidance says separating like items pays: recyclables on top of or at one end of the load earn a rebate on the disposal charge, and presorting garbage, yard debris, large appliances and mattresses makes the drop-off easier. Keep batteries apart from everything else, because Metro states they can cause fires in garbage and recycling.
Household hazardous waste is free to drop off, but Metro asks for it to travel safely: products upright in sturdy boxes in a single layer, lids secured, broken or leaking containers in zip top bags, original containers kept where possible, and unmarked containers labelled only when the contents are certain. Fluorescent tubes should be wrapped in a bag or towel rather than taped, sharps should go in an FDA cleared red container, and every container stays at the facility, including fuel cans.
Use a permitted, accessible outdoor spot. Arrange the move out of your home, keep shared access clear and follow your confirmation’s readiness instructions. Check with your building about access or staging limits before booking.
Washington County Solid Waste and Recycling with Metro, the regional garbage and recycling authority
Bulky pickup from your collection company
Furniture, mattresses and box springs, appliances, coolant containing appliances, tires, televisions, computers and other large household items from an Aloha address.
Cost & conditions
The county publishes the rate structure, a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item, and leaves the amounts to the certificated company that serves the address. Items not on the published list are billed by size and weight plus the pickup fee. Confirm the estimate with the company, or call Washington County at 503-846-3605 if you are unsure who collects there.
Arrange it
Contact the garbage and recycling company for a cost estimate and a pickup day, which may differ from the normal garbage and recycling day. The county's Garbage and Recycling Day tool shows which company serves an address.
Prices depend on the tier each item falls into, so an unsorted pile costs more. Construction and demolition material and exercise equipment are not on the county list, and unlisted items are billed by size and weight, so those have to be confirmed before they go out.
Washington County Solid Waste and Recycling with Metro, the regional garbage and recycling authority
Self-haul to a Metro transfer station
A household with garbage, recycling, food waste, large appliances, mattresses, electronics or other debris to haul itself instead of booking a bulky pickup.
Cost & conditions
Metro charges its own disposal fee by load, and separating recyclables from the load earns a rebate on the disposal charge. Confirm the current rate at the scale house, and note that household hazardous waste is free there for households.
Arrange it
Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland is open to the general public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and Metro South at 2001 Washington St in Oregon City serves the same role. All facilities are closed on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days, and the expert line is 503-234-3000.
Waste that belongs at the transfer station has to go there rather than to the hazardous waste facility, and Metro asks for hazardous waste in containers smaller than five gallons where possible. Batteries must be kept separate from other material because they cause fires, and the pages read for this packet do not name construction and demolition loads, so renovation material is not routed here.

Metro household hazardous waste facilities
Paint, stains, sealants, solvents, cleaning products, automotive products, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, yard chemicals, pool and spa chemicals and other household chemical products.

Furniture, appliances and household goods still in good condition, before a bulky pickup is booked.
Cost & conditions
Donating or giving an item away costs nothing, while a receiving site such as a recycling centre may charge a fee for material it takes. The county lists no price and suggests confirming with the organization or site.
Arrange it
The county's first suggestion for an oversized item is to donate it to a non-profit organization or give it to a friend, then to pass it on through a listing site, and then to use the county's What to Recycle and Where tool to find a site that takes it.
Every organization sets its own acceptance rules and condition standards, so confirm the item is wanted before you load it. Sites found through the county tool may charge a fee.
Aloha is unincorporated, so the bulky route runs through the garbage and recycling company that serves the address under Washington County rates, with a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item and unlisted items billed by size and weight. Anything a household hauls goes to a Metro transfer station such as Metro Central on NW 61st Avenue in Portland, where separating recyclables earns a rebate on the disposal charge and where mattresses and large appliances should be presorted.
