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.

Bulky material goes out with the franchised company that serves the address, after a call and a quote, and a household can also self-haul to a transfer station or arrange a clean-out container for a whole room.
City cost & eligibility
Bulky waste carries a published minimum and maximum fee plus weight and special handling, with an hourly fee if the item is not easily accessible, and an occasional extra garbage bag is priced separately at a light, heavy or at-the-house rate. A clean-out container is quoted as a container fee plus rental, delivery, mileage and handling, with daily rent for smaller containers. A self-haul load is charged by weight with a minimum, a per-ton rate and a staffed-scale transaction charge.
When & how
Call the franchised company that serves the address, or take the load to the Metro South transfer station in Oregon City during public hours or to the Clackamas County transfer station in Sandy from Thursday to Monday.
Get it ready
Sort the load before it leaves the house, because the fee depends on weight and handling and a mixed load is charged as garbage. Cover any self-hauled load, retrieve a recycling rebate where the station offers one, and keep hazardous products, liquids, roofing material and asbestos-containing material out of the load entirely.
Clackamas is served by franchised garbage and recycling companies under a county fee schedule, and the county says large appliances, furniture and other bulky items can be collected even if you are not a regular customer of the company you call. Ask for a quote and a pickup time. If you live in another city rather than unincorporated county, Happy Valley or Barlow, that city sets its own rates.
Bulky waste is priced as a minimum and maximum fee plus a weight and special handling component, and an hourly fee applies when the item is not easily accessible. Coolant appliances carry their own removal fee on the franchised route even if the refrigerant is already gone, and an occasional extra garbage bag is priced separately as light, heavy or picked up at the house.
A clean-out or dumpster is the route for a full room, a move or a renovation, priced as a container fee by size plus rental, delivery, mileage and handling fees, with handling charged on the first collection. Larger projects go to drop box pricing. Construction, demolition and remodeling waste may need asbestos testing and paperwork before it can be disposed.
Keep hazardous products out of the bin and the load
Aerosol sprays, art and hobby chemicals, automotive fluids, batteries, fire extinguishers, cleaners, mercury products, paints, stains, solvents, thinners, pesticides, pool and spa chemicals, propane tanks, sharps and unwanted medicines do not belong in the garbage or a bulky pile. Metro takes household hazardous waste free at the Oregon City facility, up to 35 gallons by container size, with a different set of hours from the transfer station.
Cover the load, because an uncovered load costs extra by the ton, and sort material so clean wood is not charged as general garbage. Recyclables earn a rebate at the Metro transfer stations. Households should expect to leave their hazardous waste containers behind, and asbestos-containing material has to be double bagged in labelled 6-mil plastic.
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.
Franchised Clackamas County garbage companies, with Metro transfer and hazardous waste facilities
Franchised garbage company bulky pickup
Mattresses, furniture, appliances and other large household items from an address in unincorporated Clackamas County.
Cost & conditions
The county publishes bulky waste as a minimum and maximum fee plus a weight and special handling component, with an hourly fee when the item is not easily accessible and a coolant removal fee for anything with refrigerant, charged even if the refrigerant is already gone. The company that serves the address quotes the actual job.
Arrange it
Call the franchised company that serves your address for a quote and a pickup time. The county lists the companies with their numbers, including Clackamas Garbage at 503-656-9633, Republic Services at 503-682-3900, Recology Clackamas at 503-774-4122 and Waste Management of Oregon at 800-808-5901.
The fee is a range with weight, handling and hourly components rather than a flat rate, so the price comes from the company. A coolant fee applies to refrigerant items, an oversized or inaccessible load can add an hourly charge, and a household in a city other than unincorporated county, Happy Valley or Barlow has to use that city's rates.

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?+

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 do I arrange a bulky pickup in Clackamas?+
Call the franchised garbage company that serves your address and ask it to collect the item. The county says large appliances, furniture and other items can be picked up even if you are not a regular customer, and that you should ask for a quote and a pickup time, because bulky waste carries a fee range plus weight, handling and sometimes hourly charges.Official guidance

Do I have to be a regular customer to get a bulky pickup?+

Aerosol sprays, automotive fluids, batteries, cleaners, mercury products, paints, stains, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, sharps and unwanted medicines all belong there rather than in the garbage or a bulky pile.Official guidance

What if I live in an apartment or a building with several units?+

Households in houses and small plexes with their own garbage account are the ones who call the franchise company themselves.Official guidance
