The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Fairview does not run its own hauling crews. The city holds a franchise agreement with Twelve Mile Disposal, which collects garbage in 35, 65 or 95 gallon carts with recycling included, and that is where curbside service questions and rates go. Nothing in the city or hauler material offers a curbside bulky item pickup, so a couch, mattress, appliance, television or project load travels to a Metro transfer station instead. Metro Central on NW 61st Avenue takes up to four mattresses or box springs a day free, metal appliances free, coolant appliances for a per unit charge, electronics through its Oregon E-Cycles desk, and everything else as garbage or clean wood by the ton. Household chemicals go to the Metro hazardous waste facility at the same site or at Metro South in Oregon City, free for households with a daily limit.
There is no curbside mattress pickup in Fairview, and the published route is the Metro transfer station, which takes up to four mattresses or box springs per customer per day at no charge.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Residential customers may bring up to four mattresses or box springs per customer per day free to the Metro Central transfer station, and each qualifying piece in a mixed load earns a small credit. Car beds, foldout sofa beds, futons, crib mattresses, waterbeds and air mattresses are charged at the garbage rate instead, and other mattress recyclers are listed at ByeByeMattress.com.
When & how
Metro Central takes general public loads every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closing on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days. Ask Twelve Mile Disposal on 503-661-0255 whether any on-call pickup is available before you haul.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and load it yourself, because the transfer station is a self haul site with staffed scales. Leave box springs with their mattresses so both are counted, and do not mix in a futon or sofa bed, which are charged as garbage.
Fairview publishes no curbside bulky item pickup, so a couch or other furniture goes to a Metro transfer station, where broken furniture is charged as garbage by weight.
City cost & eligibility
From $51 for for a garbage load of up to 240 pounds at the Metro Central transfer station, with a per ton rate above that, a transaction fee of 8 dollars and 34 cents on the automated commercial scale or 30 dollars at the staffed public scale, and a card processing fee on credit payments.

When & how
Metro Central takes general public loads daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closing only on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days. Ask Twelve Mile Disposal on 503-661-0255 about any curbside option first.
Get it ready
Take the piece down as far as it will go so it loads easily, and cover the load, because an uncovered load is charged a higher rate. Sort out any recyclables before you go, since the station pays a rebate for recycling up to 100 pounds of material.
Metal appliances are free to residential customers at the Metro Central transfer station, while appliances built to hold coolant are charged per unit with a daily limit of five per person.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Metal dishwashers, microwaves, water heaters, stoves, ovens, clothes washers and clothes dryers are free to residential customers at the Metro Central transfer station. Appliances built to contain coolant, including air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators and dehumidifiers, are charged per appliance with a limit of five a day per person, and a dishwasher with a plastic casing is charged as garbage.
When & how
Metro Central takes general public loads daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pay at the staffed scale for a household load, and bring any recyclables in the same trip for the recycling rebate.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and secure the doors for handling, and keep a coolant unit whole rather than removing the refrigerant yourself. Separate metal appliances from a garbage load so the free appliance line applies instead of the garbage rate.
Televisions, monitors, computers and printers are free at the Metro Central transfer station through its Oregon E-Cycles desk, up to seven items per person per day.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Metro is an Oregon E-Cycles location and accepts desktop and laptop computers, printers, televisions, monitors, tablets, keyboards and computer mice at no charge for residential customers, intact or broken, with a limit of seven items per day per person. The statewide program the city describes covers computers, monitors and televisions up to seven at a time but not keyboards, mice, speakers, printers or scanners.
When & how
Take the device to Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Avenue, open to the public every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days. Statewide E-Cycles collection sites, including local Goodwill stores, take computers, monitors and televisions without a trip across the river.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer, tablet or phone leaves the house, and keep devices out of the curbside carts. Broken screens are accepted, but packing them so they do not shatter in the vehicle protects the load.
Construction debris is not collected at the curb in Fairview. It goes to a Metro transfer station, where clean wood is cheaper when it is separated, or into a drop box from the franchise hauler.
City cost & eligibility
From $42 for for a separated clean wood load of up to 240 pounds at the Metro Central transfer station, with a per ton wood rate above that and a higher garbage rate for mixed debris, engineered wood, laminated wood, paneling and treated material, plus a transaction fee on each load. Residential customers hauling their own load, with clean wood having to be free of paint, stain, varnish, treatments, strapping, shrink wrap, labels and hardware before it qualifies for the lower rate.
When & how
Metro Central takes public loads daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or Twelve Mile Disposal can place a drop box of 10 to 40 cubic yards inside Fairview. Both routes need the load separated, because mixed material is charged at the higher garbage rate.
Get it ready
Separate clean dimensional lumber and pallets from painted, treated, engineered and laminated wood, and keep asbestos containing material and flat or built-up roofing out of the load entirely, because the transfer station refuses both. Cover the load to avoid the uncovered load charge.
Exercise equipment is not named on any Fairview, hauler or Metro list, so a treadmill or weight machine is treated as a garbage load and confirmed with the hauler before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
From $51 for for a garbage load of up to 240 pounds at the Metro Central transfer station, with a per ton rate above that and a transaction fee on each load. Residential customers hauling their own load. Fairview publishes no bulky item pickup, so ask Twelve Mile Disposal on 503-661-0255 whether a machine can go out curbside before hauling it.
When & how
Metro Central takes public loads daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and any curbside shipment depends on what the franchise hauler offers when asked.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will come apart and keep the loose weights with the frame, since the load is charged by weight at the transfer station. A metal frame is not on the free appliance list, so expect the garbage rate rather than the appliance line.
The Metro Central transfer station takes passenger vehicle and motorcycle tires with a limit of 15 per customer per day, charging the first tire at a higher rate and each extra tire at a lower rate.
City cost & eligibility
From $30 for for the first passenger vehicle or motorcycle tire, with each additional tire charged 2 dollars without a rim or 4 dollars with a rim, and the whole load switched to the per ton garbage rate once the per tire total passes the garbage minimum. Residential customers at the Metro Central transfer station, with a limit of 15 tires per customer per day. Bicycle, ATV, other small and solid core tires are charged as garbage.
When & how
Metro Central takes public loads daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tires are not collected curbside in Fairview.
Get it ready
Keep tires off the curbside carts and out of a garbage load if you want the per tire rate. Tractor, heavy equipment and semi truck tires are refused, and only passenger vehicle and motorcycle tires are part of the published limit.
Fairview's curbside service is cart based, with garbage in 35, 65 or 95 gallon carts and recycling included. There is no published bulky item pickup, so a clean-out goes to a Metro transfer station or into a hauler drop box.
City cost & eligibility
Twelve Mile Disposal publishes monthly cart rates and includes recycling at no extra charge, and a household load at the Metro Central transfer station starts at the published garbage minimum with a per ton rate above 240 pounds. Confirm any on-call or bulky collection and the current drop box rate on 503-661-0255.
When & how
Curbside collection follows the hauler's weekly schedule for the address, and transfer station loads go in any day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. except the four closed holidays.
Get it ready
Keep recyclables loose in the recycling cart and out of plastic bags, and sort a self hauled load before leaving, because separated clean wood, yard debris and recyclables are all cheaper than garbage and recycling earns a rebate. Cover the load so it is not charged the uncovered load rate.
Transfer station loads go in any day except four holidays
Metro Central on NW 61st Avenue takes general public loads every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with commercial account hours earlier on weekdays. The facility is closed to the public on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days.
An uncovered load is charged a higher rate, and an uncovered load is also a littering hazard that can draw a fine. Sort clean wood, yard debris and recyclables out before arriving so they take the lower rates, and keep asbestos containing material, roofing, liquids and burnt material out of the vehicle entirely.
Place hazardous products upright in sturdy boxes in a single layer with the lids secured, keep them in their original containers, and put broken or leaking containers in zip top bags. Fluorescent tubes should be wrapped rather than taped, and sharps belong in an approved sharps container.
Fairview's franchise hauler collects garbage in 35, 65 or 95 gallon carts and includes recycling with the garbage service at no additional charge. Service questions, cart changes and rates all go to the hauler on 503-661-0255, and the city points residents there rather than handling collection itself.
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.
