City collection Furniture is a named part of the county bulky item programme that every licensed collection company has to offer. The published category table puts a couch or loveseat in the extra large group, a recliner or accent chair, dresser and table of five feet or more in the large group, a desk, bookshelf section, dining, folding or office chair and filing cabinet in the medium group, and a vacuum, end table, plant stand or bicycle in the small group. No furniture price is published. The county states that the service cost is a flat collection charge plus a charge for each item and that the collection company gives the cost estimate, so call the hauler that serves the address for the figure and mention the size category the piece falls into.
City collection A mattress set is named twice on the county bulky item table. A king size mattress and box springs set is an extra large item, and a mattress and box springs set in every other size is a large item, which means the piece is priced by the size of the set rather than by the piece. No mattress price is published. The county states that the bulky service cost is a flat collection charge plus a charge for each item and that the company gives the estimate, so call the hauler for the figure and say whether the set is king size or another size when you book.
City collection Coolant appliances have their own published category, separate from ordinary appliances, naming a residential freezer, a refrigerator, a portable air conditioner, a dehumidifier and a water cooler. That is unusual and useful: the county treats the refrigerant unit as a distinct item class that the hauler has to collect. No coolant appliance price is published. The county describes a flat collection charge plus a per item charge, so call the collection company for the figure and describe the unit as a coolant appliance rather than a plain appliance.
City collection The bulky item pickup is the county's route for anything too big for the cart, and it is a regulated service rather than a private favour: the county sets the categories, and every licensed collection company has to collect them. The service also covers the two banned items that cannot go in the garbage, tires without rims and televisions. The county publishes the structure, a flat collection charge plus a charge for each item, but not the amounts different companies charge. Call the collection company for the address to get the estimate, and note that any item not on the published category list is billed by size and weight plus a collection charge.
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?
Cedar Mill is unincorporated Washington County, so there is no city hall to call about a couch. Collection companies are required to charge county-approved rates here, and the county sets the bulky item categories that every licensed company has to collect. That service covers furniture, appliances and mattresses and it also covers the two things that are banned from the garbage: tires and televisions. The cost is a flat collection charge plus a charge for each item, and the piece is priced when the company is called. Everything past that is self haul. The nearest public transfer station is Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland, open daily, and Metro South in Oregon City runs the same hours. Household hazardous waste is free for households at the Metro hazardous waste facilities with a 35 gallon daily limit, and Oregon E-Cycles takes up to seven computers, monitors, televisions and printers at a time for free at participating collection sites.

City cost & eligibility
No furniture price is published. The county states that the service cost is a flat collection charge plus a charge for each item and that the collection company gives the cost estimate, so call the hauler that serves the address for the figure and mention the size category the piece falls into.
When & how
Call the garbage and recycling collection company for the address to book the bulky pickup, and note that the bulky item collection day may be different from the normal garbage and recycling day. The county service line is 503-846-3605 if the company is unknown.
Get it ready
Leave the piece whole and empty, with drawers and cushions out, and put it where the company tells you to place it rather than beside the cart on a normal collection day. Anything that is not on the published category list is billed by size and weight plus a collection charge, so describe the piece accurately when booking.
A mattress set is named twice on the county bulky item table. A king size mattress and box springs set is an extra large item, and a mattress and box springs set in every other size is a large item, which means the piece is priced by the size of the set rather than by the piece.
City cost & eligibility
No mattress price is published. The county states that the bulky service cost is a flat collection charge plus a charge for each item and that the company gives the estimate, so call the hauler for the figure and say whether the set is king size or another size when you book.
When & how
Book the pickup with the collection company that serves the address, and expect the bulky day to differ from the normal collection day. If the company serving the address is unclear, the county Garbage and Recycling Day tool resolves it and the service line is 503-846-3605.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress and box spring together as the set the table prices, and keep both dry and out of the cart. Say whether the piece is king size when you book, because that moves the set from the large category to the extra large category.
Appliances have their own category on the county bulky item table, naming a BBQ grill with the tank removed, a stove or oven, a dishwasher, a washer or dryer and a water heater. Units that hold coolant sit in a second category of their own.
City cost & eligibility
No appliance price is published. The charge is the flat collection charge plus a per item charge that the collection company quotes, so call the hauler that serves the address for the current figure and say which appliance it is.
When & how
Book the pickup with the collection company, which may run the bulky collection on a different day from the normal garbage day. The county service line is 503-846-3605 if the company is unclear.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and keep it whole for the lift, and take the propane tank off a grill before it goes out because the table lists the grill with the tank removed. Keep the door question settled before the pickup, because a unit that can latch should not sit outside with the door on.
Coolant appliances have their own published category, separate from ordinary appliances, naming a residential freezer, a refrigerator, a portable air conditioner, a dehumidifier and a water cooler. That is unusual and useful: the county treats the refrigerant unit as a distinct item class that the hauler has to collect.
City cost & eligibility
No coolant appliance price is published. The county describes a flat collection charge plus a per item charge, so call the collection company for the figure and describe the unit as a coolant appliance rather than a plain appliance.
When & how
Book the pickup with the collection company for the address. The county service line is 503-846-3605 if you are not sure which company serves the property.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and remove or secure the doors before it goes out, keep it upright, and keep the refrigerant sealed, since the county lists the unit as a coolant appliance and Metro notes that refrigerants are among the materials that need careful handling.
Electronics have two routes. The county bulky item table carries an electronics category naming televisions, monitors, computers, laptops, printers and computer peripherals, and the state Oregon E-Cycles programme accepts up to seven computers, monitors, televisions and printers at a time for free from anyone at a participating collection site.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Anyone taking seven or fewer computers including desktops, laptops and tablets, monitors, televisions or printers at a time to a participating Oregon E-Cycles collection site, with computer peripherals such as keyboards and mice also free. Other types of electronics are not part of the state programme.
When & how
Find the closest Oregon E-Cycles site with the Locate Now tool or on 888-769-0149, or book the set into the household bulky pickup with the collection company if the item is too big to carry. Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave and Metro South at 2001 Washington St also take electronic material in a paid load.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data from a computer, laptop, tablet or phone before handover, and keep electronics out of the garbage and the recycling cart. The state programme counts items rather than weight, so seven devices at a time is the practical limit on a single trip.
There is no curbside construction route in Cedar Mill. The county answer for a project is drop box, compactor or occasional container service from the collection company, with occasional containers from one to eight cubic yards, or a self-haul load to a Metro transfer station where construction waste is priced by weight and separation lowers the rate.
City cost & eligibility
No residential construction rate is published. Total charges for a container include the disposal facility fee, delivery, mileage and a collection charge with a possible rental fee, and the disposal fee itself is set by the receiving facility and passed through, so call the collection company on 503-846-3605 for the estimate before the work starts.
When & how
Book a drop box or occasional container with the collection company, or haul the load to Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland or Metro South at 2001 Washington St in Oregon City, both open to the public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Metro answers at 503-234-3000.
Get it ready
Separate recyclable material from the waste and cover the load, because Metro gives a lower rate for a separated and covered load, and keep the load under the material the transfer stations refuse, including asbestos, roofing, liquids and petroleum contaminated soil. Construction and demolition material may contain asbestos, so confirm that question with the collection company before disposal.
Exercise equipment is not on the published county category table. A treadmill or weight machine is still bulky waste that the collection company can usually take, but the county only publishes categories and says unlisted items are billed by size and weight plus a collection charge, so the item is a question rather than a listed acceptance.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise machine price is published. The county states that items not on the category list are billed by size and weight plus a collection charge, so call the collection company with the weight and dimensions of the machine for the figure.
When & how
Call the collection company for the address to book, and use the county Garbage and Recycling Day tool or 503-846-3605 if the company is unclear. A large enough machine may be cheaper to take to a Metro transfer station than to pay a collection charge.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as it comes apart and remove or tape any battery pack so the frame is safe to handle, and describe the weight accurately, because an unlisted item is billed by size and weight.
The bulky item pickup is the county's route for anything too big for the cart, and it is a regulated service rather than a private favour: the county sets the categories, and every licensed collection company has to collect them. The service also covers the two banned items that cannot go in the garbage, tires without rims and televisions.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes the structure, a flat collection charge plus a charge for each item, but not the amounts different companies charge. Call the collection company for the address to get the estimate, and note that any item not on the published category list is billed by size and weight plus a collection charge.
When & how
Call the collection company to arrange the pickup and expect a bulky collection day that may be different from the normal garbage and recycling day. The county service line is 503-846-3605 and the Garbage and Recycling Day tool identifies the company for an address.
Get it ready
Group the items for one visit rather than several, keep them in the size category the company quotes for, and use the cheaper Metro option for a load that has grown past a few pieces. Donating or passing on an item in good condition is the first route the county suggests, ahead of disposal.
Household hazardous waste is free at the Metro facilities. Households can bring paint, stains and sealants, automotive products, batteries, cleaning products, aerosols that are not empty, fluorescent bulbs, liquid mercury, medical sharps, pool and spa chemicals, cooking oil, compressed gas cylinders and yard chemicals, with a daily limit of 35 gallons measured by container size.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Households bringing their own material to a Metro hazardous waste facility or a community collection event, within the daily limit of 35 gallons measured by container size. Businesses have to apply for a permit, make an appointment and pay a fee.
When & how
Take the material to the hazardous waste facility at Metro Central, 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland, or Metro South, 2001 Washington St in Oregon City. The hazardous waste hours differ from the general transfer station hours, so check ahead on 503-234-3000, and community collection events are another option.
Get it ready
Keep products in labeled containers and bring them in containers smaller than five gallons where possible, because containers including fuel cans are not returned. Wrap fluorescent tubes rather than taping them, put syringes in a sharps container and ask for a free one if needed, and keep electric vehicle batteries, most explosives, large loads and radioactive material out of the load entirely.
Book the bulky pickup with the company that runs the route
Cedar Mill is unincorporated, so the bulky item pickup comes from whichever licensed collection company serves the address. The county publishes the categories and the structure of the charge, a flat collection charge plus a charge for each item, and asks residents to call the company for the cost estimate. The Garbage and Recycling Day tool identifies the company and the county service line is 503-846-3605.
The county prices bulky items by published category rather than by a single flat fee. A king mattress set and a couch sit in the extra large group, a queen mattress set and a dresser in the large group, and a desk or dining chair in the medium group, so describing the piece accurately at the time of booking is what keeps the quote right.
Tires and televisions are bulky items, not garbage
Two items that often end up beside the cart are handled in the bulky service instead. The county lists televisions in the bulky item electronics category and states that the pickup covers tires and televisions that must not be thrown in the garbage, and it prices automotive tires without rims in the same table.
Metro asks customers to separate material and cover the load before arriving because a separated and covered load pays a lower rate. The transfer station charges a minimum for loads up to 240 pounds and then a proportion of the per-ton fee, with a transaction fee added at the scale, and material left behind is the customer's responsibility with fines that can exceed three thousand dollars.
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 & Recycling with licensed collection companies, Metro and Oregon E-Cycles
Book the county regulated bulky pickup
A Cedar Mill household with furniture, a mattress set, an appliance, a coolant unit or a television that is too big for the cart.
Cost & conditions
The county publishes a flat collection charge plus a charge for each item and states that the collection company gives the cost estimate, so the amount comes from the hauler when the pickup is booked. Unlisted items are billed by size and weight plus a collection charge.
Arrange it
Call the garbage and recycling collection company that serves the address, describe the items, and take the day the company offers, which may differ from the normal garbage and recycling day. The county service line is 503-846-3605 and the Garbage and Recycling Day tool identifies the company.
The county sets the categories and the rate structure but not the company price on the day, and the item has to match a published category or fall into the size and weight billing. Nothing is collected from beside the cart on a normal collection day.
Washington County Solid Waste & Recycling with licensed collection companies, Metro and Oregon E-Cycles
Self haul to the Metro transfer station
A household with a load too large or too awkward for the bulky pickup, including project debris.
Cost & conditions
From $37 per load at the low end of the published minimum charge of 37 to 51 dollars for loads up to 240 pounds, with heavier loads charged a proportion of the per-ton fee plus a transaction fee of 8.34 dollars at automated scales or 30 dollars at staffed scales and a two percent processing fee on credit card payments. Households and businesses bringing waste the transfer station accepts, with material separated and the load covered for the lower rate.
Arrange it
Drive to Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland or Metro South at 2001 Washington St in Oregon City, both open to the general public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and closed on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days. Metro answers at 503-234-3000.
Vehicles and anything with a drive motor, asbestos-containing material, burned material and wildfire ash, flat or built up roofing, loads of liquids, petroleum contaminated soil, radioactive metals and electric vehicle batteries are refused, and material left at the site is the customer's responsibility with possible fines.
Washington County Solid Waste & Recycling with licensed collection companies, Metro and Oregon E-Cycles
Recycle electronics free through Oregon E-Cycles
A household with a computer, laptop, tablet, monitor, television or printer to get rid of.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Anyone taking seven or fewer computers including desktops, laptops and tablets, monitors, televisions or printers at a time to a participating collection site, with keyboards and mice free as well.

The programme covers computers, monitors, televisions and printers only, at seven or fewer items at a time, and other types of electronics are outside it. A large set that will not fit in a car belongs in the household bulky pickup or a paid Metro load instead.

Drop household chemicals at a Metro facility
A household with paint, stains, sealants, automotive products, batteries, cleaning products, aerosols, fluorescent bulbs, mercury, sharps, pool chemicals, cooking oil or yard chemicals.
Cost & conditions

Arrange it
Take the material to Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland or Metro South at 2001 Washington St in Oregon City. The hazardous waste hours differ from the transfer station hours, so check on 503-234-3000 before leaving, and community collection events are the alternative closer to home.
Electric vehicle batteries, most explosives, large loads and containers, radioactive material and business waste are refused, containers are not returned, and business customers need a permit, an appointment and a fee. Asbestos is limited to two 25 pound double bagged and sealed six mil bags from non commercial customers.
Washington County Solid Waste & Recycling with licensed collection companies, Metro and Oregon E-Cycles
Order a drop box for a project
A household running a remodel, a roof replacement or a large landscape cleanup that produces more waste than a pickup load.
Cost & conditions
The county states that a total charge includes the disposal facility fee, delivery, mileage and a pick-up fee with a possible rental fee, that disposal fees are set by the receiving facility and passed through, and that the collection company gives the estimate, so call the company for the figure.
Arrange it
Contact the garbage and recycling collection company for the address to request a drop box, compactor or occasional container and to choose the size, which ranges from one to eight cubic yards for an occasional container.
A rental fee can apply after two calendar days on an occasional container, disposal charges are a pass-through from the receiving facility rather than a county rate, and construction and demolition material may contain asbestos, which the collection company has to ask about before disposal.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.
How much does pickup cost?+
Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.
Can I book a pickup for today?+

Do my items need to be outside when I book?+
You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.
How do I get rid of a couch in Cedar Mill?+
Call the garbage and recycling collection company for your address and book a bulky item pickup. Washington County requires licensed companies to charge county-approved rates and to offer this service, the couch or loveseat sits in the published extra large category, and the cost is a flat collection charge plus a charge for the item. The bulky collection day may differ from your normal garbage day.Official guidance
Will Cedar Mill take a mattress at the curb?+
Through the bulky item pickup that your collection company runs, yes. Washington County publishes a mattress and box springs set as an extra large item when king size and as a large item in every other size, and the cost is a flat collection charge plus a charge for the item. Book it with the company rather than putting it beside the cart on a normal garbage day.Official guidance
How do I get rid of a washer or dryer in Cedar Mill?+
Book a bulky item pickup with the collection company that serves your address. Washington County publishes appliances as their own category covering a BBQ grill with the tank removed, a stove or oven, a dishwasher, a washer or dryer and a water heater, and the cost is a flat collection charge plus a charge for the item. The bulky day may differ from your normal garbage day.Official guidance
Where do televisions and computers go in Cedar Mill?+
Oregon E-Cycles takes seven or fewer computers, monitors, televisions and printers at a time for free at participating collection sites, and keyboards and mice are free too. Find a site with the Locate Now tool or on 888-769-0149. Washington County also lists televisions in the bulky item electronics category for a pickup from the collection company, and the Metro transfer stations take electronic material in a paid load.Official guidance
How does bulky item pickup work in Cedar Mill?+
Washington County sets and regulates the service for unincorporated areas like Cedar Mill, and the collection company that serves your address runs the pickup. The cost is a flat collection charge plus a charge for each item, the bulky day may differ from the normal garbage day, and the service covers furniture, appliances, mattresses, tires without rims and televisions. The county service line is 503-846-3605.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Cedar Mill?+
A licensed collection company chosen by the property, not the county. Cedar Mill is unincorporated Washington County, and the county sets and regulates collection rates for unincorporated areas, so the Garbage and Recycling Day tool identifies which company serves an address and the county service line is 503-846-3605. Bilingual support staff answer Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. except federal holidays.Official guidance
What cannot go in the garbage here?+
Yard debris and recyclables go to their own routes rather than the garbage, and two bulky items that people often try to put out with the cart are handled by the collection company instead: tires without rims and televisions, which the county lists in the bulky item categories precisely because they must not go in the garbage. Household hazardous waste such as paint, batteries and fluorescent bulbs belongs at a Metro facility instead.Official guidance
What does a self-haul load cost at the Metro transfer station?+
The published minimum charge is 37 to 51 dollars for a load up to 240 pounds, and a heavier load is charged a proportion of the per-ton fee plus a transaction fee that is 8.34 dollars at an automated scale or 30 dollars at a staffed scale. A credit card payment carries a two percent processing fee, and separating the material and covering the load lowers the rate.Official guidance
