A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

A few simple choices turn a mixed pile into a clear booking. No need to estimate how much of a truck it might fill.

Filled bags and boxes

Count each trash bag or filled household box. Books and media go by the box. Clothes, bedding and shoes go by the filled bag. Toys packed together have a Box of toys choice. Ask us about unusually heavy or oversized bags and boxes first.

Empty cardboard and containers

Empty cardboard is a different choice: choose single empty boxes or tied bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Compacted bales have their own weight-based choices and require loading-dock access. A Storage bin choice covers the empty bin itself; ask us to confirm the contents if they are going too.

Furniture and other larger items

Add the actual larger item alongside your bags and boxes, such as a sofa, chair or mattress. It has its own price and preparation. Keep construction materials and items needing special handling out of ordinary household bags.

Mattress and box spring

Accepted with preparation

A mattress and box spring are named bulky waste in the county system, priced by the collection company as a flat pickup fee plus a charge for the item, and free from residential customers at the regional transfer station.

City cost & eligibility
The county publishes no bulky item amounts, so ask your collection company for an estimate and to schedule the pickup. A mattress or box spring dropped off at the Metro Central transfer station is free for residential customers, up to four a day, while a car bed, foldout sofa bed, futon, crib mattress, waterbed or air mattress is charged as garbage instead.
When & how
The bulky collection day can differ from the normal garbage and recycling day, and the collection company sets the appointment when the pickup is scheduled.
Get it ready
Set the bedding out where the collection company tells you on the scheduled bulky day, keep it dry and keep it clear of the carts. A king mattress and box springs set counts in the extra large category, and any other size as a set counts in the large category, so describe the size when asking for the estimate.

Couch, sofa and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

Furniture is named bulky waste in the county system, with the couch, loveseat and armoire in the extra large tier and pieces such as a desk, bookshelf section or chair in the medium tier.

City cost & eligibility
The cost is a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item, and the county publishes no amounts, so ask the collection company for an estimate before the pickup is booked. A piece that is still in good condition can be given away or donated instead, and the county tool lists reuse options.
When & how
Scheduled with the collection company, and the bulky pickup day can differ from the regular collection day for the address.
Get it ready
Describe each piece when asking for the estimate, because a couch or loveseat is billed in the extra large tier, a sectional is billed by section, a recliner or accent chair and a table five feet or longer are billed as large items, and a desk, bookshelf section, chair or filing cabinet as medium items.

Refrigerator, washer, dryer and other appliances

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are named bulky waste, with metal appliances free at the regional transfer station and coolant containing units charged per appliance.

City cost & eligibility
A stove, oven, dishwasher, washer, dryer, water heater or barbecue grill with the tank removed is free to residential customers at Metro Central, while a refrigerator, freezer, portable air conditioner, dehumidifier or water cooler is charged per appliance with a limit of five a day, and the collection company bulky pickup adds a flat fee plus a per item charge, so confirm the route before the unit moves.
When & how
Either an appointment with the collection company on its bulky day or a trip to Metro Central, which is open to the general public 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and closed on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, remove the doors where the manufacturer allows it, and keep the appliance out of the recycling bin, which never accepts electronic devices or hazardous items. A barbecue grill goes out only with the tank removed, and a coolant unit is handled as its own category rather than with the metal appliances.

Television, monitor and computer

Accepted with preparation

Televisions and computers are bulky waste that must never go in the garbage, and they are free at the regional transfer station under Oregon E-Cycles.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to residential customers at Metro Central under Oregon E-Cycles, with a limit of seven items a day, and items are accepted intact or broken. The accepted list covers desktop and laptop computers, printers, televisions, monitors, tablets, keyboards and computer mice.
When & how
Metro Central is open to the general public 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and closed on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days, and the collection company can also take a television or monitor as a charged bulky item.
Get it ready
Wipe the drive or remove the storage before handing a computer over, take the power cord and any peripherals with the device, and never place electronics in the curbside recycling bin, which refuses electronic devices and cords.

Treadmill, exercise bike and weight bench

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not in the published bulky category table, and the county says unlisted items are billed on size and weight plus a pickup fee.

City cost & eligibility
The county publishes no price for an unlisted item, so ask the collection company for an estimate based on the size and weight of the machine plus the pickup fee before the pickup is booked.
When & how
The collection company schedules the pickup, and the bulky collection day can differ from the regular collection day for the address.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it will come apart and describe the size and weight when asking for the estimate. Keep it out of the recycling bin, which refuses cords and electronic devices, and remove any battery pack or console so the electronics can be handled separately.
Bulky item collection service, item category table and how the charge is builtCurbside cart rules, recycling guide and extra material allowances

Passenger tires

Accepted with preparation

Automotive tires without rims are a published bulky category, and the regional transfer station charges per tire with a fifteen tire daily limit.

City cost & eligibility
From $30 for the charge for the first tire at the Metro Central transfer station, with each additional tire charged less without rims or with rims. Residential customers, limited to fifteen tires in a day, with passenger vehicle and motorcycle tires only and no tractor, heavy equipment or semi truck tires. The collection company bulky pickup instead charges a flat fee plus a per item charge, and the county publishes no amount for that route.
When & how
Metro Central is open to the general public 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and closed on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days, and a collection company pickup is scheduled separately.
Get it ready
Leave rims off where possible to pay the lower rate, keep the load inside the fifteen tire daily limit, and keep tires out of the curbside carts and bins. Bicycle tires, ATV tires and other small tires are charged as garbage instead of as tires.

Construction and demolition debris

Not on the regular city route

No curbside route exists for construction material, so a project uses a drop box or occasional container from the collection company or a self haul to a transfer station.

City cost & eligibility
There is no collection day for debris. A project load uses a drop box, compactor or occasional container from the collection company, where charges include the receiving facility's disposal fee, delivery, mileage and a pickup fee, or a self haul to a transfer station where garbage is charged a minimum for loads up to 240 pounds and a per ton rate above that, and clean wood and yard debris are charged at lower published rates.
When & how
Containers run from one to eight cubic yards for the occasional service, the rental fee can begin after two calendar days, and Metro Central is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily except the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days.
Get it ready
Order the container before the work starts, keep the material out of every cart and bin, and expect the collection company to ask whether the load might contain asbestos, because construction and demolition material is the material most likely to and Oregon DEQ regulates its handling and disposal.

Bulky household junk

Accepted with preparation

The collection company runs a bulky waste pickup for large items, priced as a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item.

City cost & eligibility
The county regulates the rates but publishes no bulky item amounts, so contact your collection company for a cost estimate and to schedule, and remember that the bulky collection day can differ from the regular garbage and recycling day.
When & how
Scheduled directly with the collection company that serves the address, which the county Garbage and Recycling Day tool identifies when you enter the address.
Get it ready
Group the load by the published categories before asking for the estimate, because extra large, large, medium and small items, appliances, coolant appliances, electronics and tires are each priced differently, and anything not on the list is billed on size and weight plus the pickup fee. Items in good condition should be given away or donated first.

Bagged household trash and carts

Special rules apply

Household garbage goes in the curbside cart with the lid closed, out by 6 a.m. on the collection day and spaced away from obstacles.

City cost & eligibility
Cart service is billed by the collection company at the county approved rate, which depends on the cart size and the service area, so confirm the current rate with the company and ask the county at 503-846-3605 about the reduced rate program, which discounts standard rates for eligible households.
When & how
Carts and bins go out by 6 a.m. on the collection day shown by the county Garbage and Recycling Day tool, and extra material is free of charge only during service interruptions.
Get it ready
Close the lids, keep carts and bins three feet from cars, trees, mailboxes and other containers and six feet from basketball hoops, and never block a sidewalk, bike path or driveway. Extra garbage goes in a plastic bag beside the bin, extra recycling in a brown paper bag, a small flattened cardboard box or a reusable container, and food or liquids, plastic bags, wires, cords, electronic devices, medical waste and non-empty aerosols stay out of the recycling bin.

Paint, chemicals and household hazardous waste

Accepted with preparation

Household chemicals never go in a cart or bin and are free to drop at the regional hazardous waste facilities with a daily limit.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free for households at the Metro Central and Metro South hazardous waste facilities, with a daily limit of 35 gallons measured by container size. Businesses must apply for a permit, make an appointment and pay a fee.
When & how

Get it ready
Bring the material upright in sturdy boxes with the lids secured, put broken or leaking containers inside zip top bags, keep products in their original containers and only label an unmarked container when the contents are known, wrap fluorescent tubes in a bag or towel rather than taping them, and expect to leave the containers behind.

Extra material goes out in its own approved way

Extra garbage goes in a plastic bag beside the bin, extra recycling in a brown paper bag, a small flattened cardboard box or a reusable container, and extra yard debris in a Kraft bag with twigs up to four feet long bundled in fiber twine.

Washington County Solid Waste and Recycling with franchised collection companies in the Metro regional system

Bulky waste pickup from your collection company

A household in the county system with furniture, a mattress, an appliance, a television, tires or another large item that will not fit the curbside cart.

Cost & conditions
The county regulates the rates but publishes no bulky item amounts, so contact the collection company for a cost estimate and to schedule, and expect a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item.
Arrange it
Use the county Garbage and Recycling Day tool to confirm which company serves the address, call that company, describe every item by category and size, and take the appointment it gives, because the bulky day can differ from the regular collection day.

Prices depend on the category and the number of items, an item that is not on the published list is billed on size and weight plus the pickup fee, and material in good condition should be donated rather than collected.

Washington County Solid Waste and Recycling with franchised collection companies in the Metro regional system

Metro Central transfer station and hazardous waste facility

A household that can drive a load to Portland for free mattresses, electronics or metal appliances, or for charged coolant appliances, tires and garbage.

Cost & conditions
Free to residential customers are up to four mattresses or box springs a day, electronics under Oregon E-Cycles up to seven items a day, and metal appliances such as dishwashers, microwaves, water heaters, stoves, ovens, washers and dryers. A coolant appliance is charged a published per appliance amount with a limit of five a day, tires are charged for the first tire and less for each additional one with a fifteen tire daily limit, garbage pays a published minimum for loads up to 240 pounds plus a per ton rate above that, and a transaction fee applies to each load, so check the current rates before leaving.
Arrange it
Drive the load to 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland, arrive between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., separate the material by type for the right rate, cover any loose load because uncovered loads pay more, and keep hazardous material for the separate facility on the same site.

No vehicles, asbestos-containing material, burned material or wildfire ash, flat or built-up roofing, loads of liquids, petroleum contaminated soil, radioactive metals or electric vehicle batteries. Car beds, foldout sofa beds, futons, crib mattresses, waterbeds and air mattresses are charged as garbage rather than as mattresses.

Open the Metro Central page

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Bethany has no city collection department, so the first call is to the collection company that serves the address, which the county Garbage and Recycling Day tool identifies. That company schedules the bulky waste pickup for furniture, mattresses, appliances, televisions, tires and other large pieces, at a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item, and it also supplies the drop box or occasional container for a remodeling load. A household that would rather drive the load itself uses the Metro Central transfer station at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland, which is free to residential customers for up to four mattresses or box springs a day, for electronics under Oregon E-Cycles with a seven item daily limit, and for metal appliances, while coolant appliances, tires and garbage are charged and a transaction fee applies to each load. The hazardous waste facility on the same site takes paint, automotive products, batteries, pool chemicals and sharps free for households with a 35 gallon daily limit, open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Construction material never goes to the curb: it goes into a container from the collection company, and the company will ask whether the load might contain asbestos, because that material is regulated separately by Oregon DEQ.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Bethany.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Bethany?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

How does a mattress leave a Bethany address?

Through the collection company that serves the address, which schedules a bulky waste pickup and charges a flat pickup fee plus a per item charge, or by driving it to the Metro Central transfer station in Portland, where up to four mattresses or box springs a day are free for residential customers.Official guidance

How is furniture priced for a bulky pickup?

The collection company charges a flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item, and the county groups items into tiers: a couch or loveseat and an armoire are extra large, a sectional is billed by section, a table of five feet or more is large, and a desk, bookshelf section, chair or filing cabinet is medium.Official guidance

Where does a refrigerator or freezer go?

A coolant containing appliance such as a residential freezer, refrigerator, portable air conditioner, dehumidifier or water cooler is charged per appliance at the Metro Central transfer station with a limit of five a day, while metal appliances such as a stove, dishwasher, washer, dryer and water heater are free there to residential customers.Official guidance

Where do televisions and computers go in Bethany?

To the Metro Central transfer station at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland, where Oregon E-Cycles takes desktop and laptop computers, printers, televisions, monitors, tablets, keyboards and mice free from residential customers, seven items a day, or to the collection company as a charged bulky item.Official guidance

Will a treadmill be picked up as bulky waste?

Exercise equipment is not in the published bulky item table, and Washington County states that items not listed are billed based on size and weight plus a pickup fee, so call the collection company for an estimate before scheduling.Official guidance

How do tires get disposed of from Bethany?

Two ways: the collection company takes them as a charged bulky item, since automotive tires without rims are on the published category list, or they go to the Metro Central transfer station, which charges per tire, allows fifteen tires a day and refuses tractor, heavy equipment and semi truck tires.Official guidance

Where does construction debris go in Bethany?

Into a drop box, compactor or one to eight cubic yard occasional container arranged through the collection company, with the receiving facility's disposal fee passed through along with delivery, mileage and a pickup fee, or a self haul to a transfer station, where garbage pays a minimum for the first 240 pounds and a per ton rate above it.Official guidance

How do I schedule a bulky item pickup?

Call the garbage and recycling collection company that serves the address, ask for a cost estimate, and book the pickup. The county Garbage and Recycling Day tool shows which company serves the address, and the bulky day may differ from the regular collection day.Official guidance

What happens with an item that is not on the list?

The county states that items not listed are billed based on size and weight plus a pickup fee, so an unlisted piece still has a route through the collection company but needs its own estimate.Official guidance

What are the curbside cart rules?

Out by 6 a.m. on the collection day with the lid closed, three feet from cars, trees, mailboxes and other carts, six feet from basketball hoops, and clear of sidewalks, bike paths and driveways. Extra garbage, recycling and yard debris each go out in their own approved way and are free only during service interruptions.Official guidance

Where do paint and chemicals go from Bethany?

To a Metro household hazardous waste facility, free for households with a daily limit of 35 gallons. Metro Central takes material Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Metro South in Oregon City takes it daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and both accept paint, stains, automotive products, batteries, cleaning products, pool and spa chemicals, fluorescent bulbs and medical sharps.Official guidance

Who collects garbage and bulky items in Bethany?

A franchised collection company, not a city department. Washington County sets and regulates the rates outside the twelve cities and each address is served by one certificated company, which the county Garbage and Recycling Day tool identifies. The county answers at 503-846-3605 and Recycle@WashingtonCountyOR.gov.Official guidance

How do I find my collection day and company?

Use the county Garbage and Recycling Day tool with the address, which returns the hauler and the collection day. Carts go out by 6 a.m. on that day, and a bulky pickup is booked separately with the same company because the bulky day can differ.Official guidance

What does a bulky pickup cost?

A flat pickup fee plus a charge for each item, and the county publishes no amounts because the categories are priced by the collection company under the approved rate schedule. Furniture, mattress sets, appliances, electronics and tires all sit in their own categories, and an item that is not listed is billed on size and weight plus the pickup fee.Official guidance

What can I take to the Metro transfer station?

Free for residential customers are up to four mattresses or box springs a day, electronics under Oregon E-Cycles with a limit of seven items a day, and metal appliances. Coolant appliances, tires and garbage are charged, with the first 240 pounds of a garbage load at a minimum charge and a per ton rate above it, and a transaction fee applies to each load.Official guidance

What belongs in the curbside recycling bin?

Plastic bottles with the caps screwed on, buckets, round containers and rigid plant pots two inches by two inches or larger, empty and dry, plus paper, flattened cardboard and metal, and glass bottles and jars. Plastic bags, wires and cords, electronic devices, medical waste, non-empty aerosols, food and liquids never go in the bin.Official guidance
