City collection A couch, a recliner and other furniture are among the bulky items Pride names, so the piece leaves on an appointment rather than on the weekly route. Pride publishes no furniture rate for Durham and quotes the price when the pickup is booked, so confirm the piece and the fee on 503-625-6177.
City collection A mattress or box spring is named among Pride's bulky examples, and the Metro Central transfer station in Portland also takes up to four mattress or box spring units per customer per day free of charge. Pride quotes its bulky fee for a mattress on 503-625-6177, while the Metro Central gate takes up to four mattress or box spring units per customer per day at no charge, so the cost depends on the route chosen.
City collection A fridge, a washing machine and a water heater are among Pride's bulky examples, and Metro Central takes metal appliances such as dishwashers, microwaves, water heaters, stoves, ovens, washers and dryers, with appliances that contain coolant charged at the published rate. Pride quotes its bulky fee on 503-625-6177, while at Metro Central an appliance built to contain coolant costs 30 dollars, with a limit of five per day per person, and other metal appliances may be accepted free of charge, so confirm the route for the specific unit.
City collection Pride collects bulky and oversized material at the home by appointment for a fee, and the examples it publishes are a couch, a mattress, a fridge, a washing machine, a lawnmower, furniture, a television, a tire, a toilet, a recliner and a water heater. Pride states that it picks bulky items up for a reasonable fee and directs customers to its office for the rate, and Durham publishes no bulky fee, so confirm the item and the price on 503-625-6177 before the pickup is booked.
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?
Durham runs no collection of its own: Pride Disposal & Recycling provides the weekly garbage, yard debris and recycling routes in the city, and Metro regulates what may be recycled. The route that matters for a clear out is Pride's bulky item service, which collects a couch, a mattress, an appliance, a television or a tire at the home by appointment for a quoted fee, with temporary containers and drop boxes for a larger project. A household can also self haul to the Metro Central transfer station in Portland, where mattresses and box springs are free up to four a day, coolant appliances carry a published charge, and computers, printers and televisions are taken free as an Oregon E-Cycles location.
Pride Disposal collects garbage every week in Durham on an assigned collection day using the cart the household subscribes to, and recycling is regulated by Metro.
City cost & eligibility
Pride publishes rates for each jurisdiction it serves and the city keeps its rate sheet as a linked document rather than page text, so confirm the monthly charge for the container size with Pride on 503-625-6177.
When & how
Put the container out by 6 a.m. on the assigned collection day, and use the city's 2026 schedule or the Washington County collection day tool to confirm the day for an address.
Get it ready
Keep the lid closed and the container at the curb on the collection day, and keep recyclables, yard debris and bulky material out of the garbage cart because each of those has its own route.

When & how

Get it ready
Keep the item out of the garbage cart and off the street until the pickup is scheduled, and describe the item accurately when booking because the price depends on what is being collected.

City cost & eligibility
Pride prices its temporary containers and drop boxes by size and directs customers to its office, and Metro Central publishes a 51 dollar minimum with 176.70 per ton for garbage and a 42 dollar minimum with 97.13 per ton for clean separated wood, so confirm the route and the size before the load is built.

Get it ready
Keep construction material out of the garbage cart, separate clean wood from treated or painted material because clean wood has its own rate, and keep asbestos containing material, liquids and hazardous waste out of the load entirely.

Get it ready
Break the machine down only as far as it can still be handled, describe the item and its weight accurately when confirming, and keep it out of the garbage cart.

Large items are not part of the weekly route. Book the pickup with Pride on 503-625-6177, describe the item so the fee can be quoted, and put the piece out on the day the company gives. A drop box or a temporary container is the better route for a whole house clear out.
