You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

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.
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.

Before you book
A few things worth knowing.
Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Cedar Mill.
How much does bulk junk removal cost in Cedar Mill?+
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 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
