City collection The weekly service takes what fits in the cart, and nothing in the ruled sheet or the hauler's rates promises a routine bulky item pickup, so a couch is not a curbside item. The two published routes are the city cleanup, where three single items come off at the drop off twice a year, and a Metro transfer station, which charges furniture by weight with the rest of the solid waste load. From $51 for minimum charge for a load of non-hazardous solid waste such as broken furniture at a Metro transfer station, which covers loads up to 240 pounds. Anyone delivering to Metro Central or Metro South. Loads over 240 pounds are charged a proportion of the per ton fee, and public customers using the staffed scales add a 30 dollar transaction fee. Forest Grove residents with a current Waste Management account pay nothing for the same piece at the city cleanup drop off, which takes three single items.
City collection A mattress has more free routes than anything else in this list. Bye Bye Mattress collection sites take mattresses and box springs in any condition at no charge, Metro takes up to four per customer per day at no charge at its transfer stations, and the city cleanup counts a mattress as one of the three single items that come off free at the drop off. No charge. Bye Bye Mattress sites accept mattresses and box springs in any condition free of charge, and residential customers get up to four mattresses or box springs per day free at Metro Central and Metro South. Forest Grove residents with a current Waste Management account also get one of the three free single items at the city cleanup drop off, where a mattress qualifies.
City collection A cooling unit is a chargeable appliance at Metro rather than a free one. Metro Central and Metro South take air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators and dehumidifiers for a per unit charge with a limit of five per person per day, and the city cleanup drop off takes the same kind of unit only after the refrigerant has been removed. $30 per appliance built to contain coolant, including air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators and dehumidifiers, at a Metro transfer station. Residential customers at Metro Central or Metro South, limited to five coolant appliances per person per day. Forest Grove households with a current Waste Management account instead bring the unit to the city cleanup drop off with the refrigerant already removed per DEQ regulations.
City collection The city cleanup is the piece of the system that behaves like a bulky item service: twice a year, residents with a current Waste Management account can put out up to six extra bags of 32 gallons or less on the regular collection day at no extra charge, and the same cleanup includes a bulky drop off where three single items come off free. No charge. Forest Grove residents with a current Waste Management account. The cleanup adds up to six extra bags on the regular collection day at no extra charge, and three single bulky items come off free at the B Street drop off with proof of residency by utility bill. Outside those dates, extra garbage at the curb is priced per can or bag on the city rate sheet.
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?
Forest Grove buys its garbage service from a single franchised hauler. Waste Management collects the weekly cart, the city council approves the rates, and the rate sheet prices the carts, extra bags and bundles rather than a per item bulky pickup, so a couch or an appliance is not part of the weekly service. The standing routes for bulky material are the city's own cleanup, which runs twice a year with six extra bags on your regular collection day and three free single items at the B Street drop off, and the Metro transfer stations, which take furniture by weight and most metal appliances and mattresses free but charge for coolant appliances. Electronics are a state program rather than a local one: Oregon E-Cycles takes televisions, monitors, computers and printers free at participating sites, and mattresses have their own free drop-off network through Bye Bye Mattress. Paint and chemicals go to Metro's household hazardous waste sites or a PaintCare drop-off.
The weekly service takes what fits in the cart, and nothing in the ruled sheet or the hauler's rates promises a routine bulky item pickup, so a couch is not a curbside item. The two published routes are the city cleanup, where three single items come off at the drop off twice a year, and a Metro transfer station, which charges furniture by weight with the rest of the solid waste load.
City cost & eligibility
From $51 for minimum charge for a load of non-hazardous solid waste such as broken furniture at a Metro transfer station, which covers loads up to 240 pounds. Anyone delivering to Metro Central or Metro South. Loads over 240 pounds are charged a proportion of the per ton fee, and public customers using the staffed scales add a 30 dollar transaction fee. Forest Grove residents with a current Waste Management account pay nothing for the same piece at the city cleanup drop off, which takes three single items.
When & how
The city cleanup runs twice a year, with the next extra curbside collection Monday, November 2 through Friday, November 6 and the bulky drop off on Saturday, November 7 from 9 am to 2 pm. Metro Central is open to the public every day from 8 am to 5 pm apart from the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day.
Get it ready
At the city drop off, bring the utility bill as proof of residency and keep construction, remodeling or demolition material out of the load, because those are refused and a mixed load is charged on a fee schedule instead. At a Metro station, sort anything recyclable out first, cover the load to avoid the uncovered load charge, and expect the piece to be weighed with the rest of the garbage.
A mattress has more free routes than anything else in this list. Bye Bye Mattress collection sites take mattresses and box springs in any condition at no charge, Metro takes up to four per customer per day at no charge at its transfer stations, and the city cleanup counts a mattress as one of the three single items that come off free at the drop off.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Bye Bye Mattress sites accept mattresses and box springs in any condition free of charge, and residential customers get up to four mattresses or box springs per day free at Metro Central and Metro South. Forest Grove residents with a current Waste Management account also get one of the three free single items at the city cleanup drop off, where a mattress qualifies.
When & how
A Bye Bye Mattress site takes a mattress whenever it is open, the Metro stations take them every day they are open, and the city drop off takes them on its cleanup Saturday, which falls on November 7 this cycle from 9 am to 2 pm.
Get it ready
Check the acceptable and unacceptable item list before a Bye Bye Mattress delivery, because the program asks households to confirm the item and the site's hours. Metro does not take car beds, foldout sofa beds, futons, crib mattresses, waterbeds or air mattresses as mattresses, and charges those as garbage instead.
Metal appliances are free at the county level and allowed at the city cleanup. Metro takes metal dishwashers, microwaves, water heaters, stoves, ovens and clothes washers and dryers at no charge from residential customers, while the city cleanup drop off takes appliances as single items once the refrigerant has been removed.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Metal appliances are free from residential customers at Metro Central and Metro South, and the city cleanup drop off takes three single appliances per household at no charge for residents with a current Waste Management account. A unit built to contain coolant is the exception and is charged per unit at Metro.
When & how
Metro Central takes loads every day from 8 am to 5 pm apart from four holidays, and the city drop off takes appliances on the cleanup Saturday, which is November 7 this cycle between 9 am and 2 pm.
Get it ready
Empty the appliance and remove the doors, and keep it out of the weekly cart. An appliance going to the city drop off has to have the refrigerant removed per DEQ regulations before it arrives, while Metro handles coolant units itself and charges for them.
Refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers
Accepted with preparation
A cooling unit is a chargeable appliance at Metro rather than a free one. Metro Central and Metro South take air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators and dehumidifiers for a per unit charge with a limit of five per person per day, and the city cleanup drop off takes the same kind of unit only after the refrigerant has been removed.
City cost & eligibility
$30 per appliance built to contain coolant, including air conditioners, freezers, refrigerators and dehumidifiers, at a Metro transfer station. Residential customers at Metro Central or Metro South, limited to five coolant appliances per person per day. Forest Grove households with a current Waste Management account instead bring the unit to the city cleanup drop off with the refrigerant already removed per DEQ regulations.
When & how
Metro takes coolant appliances whenever the transfer stations are open to the public, every day from 8 am to 5 pm except the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day, and the city drop off takes them on the cleanup Saturday.
Get it ready
Drain the unit and empty it of food, and decide which route it is taking before anything is done to it, because the city drop off requires the refrigerant to be removed first while Metro takes the unit as it is and charges for it. Keep the unit upright with the doors secured.
Electronics run through a state program rather than the hauler. Oregon E-Cycles lets anyone bring seven or fewer computers, monitors, televisions and printers at a time to a participating collection site for free recycling, with peripherals such as keyboards and mice also free, and the city says e-waste is accepted for recycling at all times.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Oregon E-Cycles is a statewide program that takes seven or fewer computers including desktops, laptops and tablets, monitors, televisions and printers at a time for free at participating collection sites, and computer peripherals such as keyboards and mice are free as well. Other types of electronics are not part of the program.
When & how
Collection sites keep their own hours and the current list is available from the program's site finder or on 888-769-0149. The city also states that televisions, computers and monitors are accepted at all times for recycling, so a device does not have to wait for the twice yearly cleanup.
Get it ready
Count the devices before the trip, because the free allowance is seven or fewer of the covered types at one time. Wipe personal data off a computer or drive before handover, keep the device out of the garbage and recycling carts, and remember that the program excludes electronics outside the covered list, such as small appliances and peripherals that are not keyboards or mice.
Construction material is written out of both local routes. The city cleanup drop off refuses all construction, remodeling and demolition material and charges a mixed load on a fee schedule, and a Metro transfer station takes it as non-hazardous solid waste by weight, with separated clean wood getting a lower rate than mixed debris.
City cost & eligibility
From $51 for minimum charge for a load of non-hazardous solid waste such as construction debris at a Metro transfer station, which covers loads up to 240 pounds, with separated clean wood charged at its own lower rate. Anyone delivering to Metro Central or Metro South, where loads over 240 pounds are charged a proportion of the per ton fee and public customers using the staffed scales add a 30 dollar transaction fee. Construction material is refused at the city cleanup drop off, and a mixed load there is charged on a fee schedule the city does not publish.
When & how
Metro Central and Metro South take loads every day the transfer stations are open to the public, from 8 am to 5 pm apart from the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. The city drop off is a twice yearly Saturday event that refuses this material entirely.
Get it ready
Separate clean wood from mixed debris, because Metro charges separated clean wood at a lower rate than garbage, and keep roofing, liquids, asbestos, petroleum contaminated soil and burned material out of the load because those are refused outright. Cover the load to avoid the uncovered load charge, and sort recyclables out first for the rebate.
Nothing in the city cleanup list, the hauler rate sheet, the Metro rates or the state programs names exercise equipment, so a treadmill or home gym is a question for the hauler or the transfer station rather than a published route.
City cost & eligibility
No published list or rate names an exercise machine. Call Waste Management on 503-249-8078 to ask whether the machine can be collected and what it costs, or treat it as a solid waste load at a Metro transfer station, where the minimum charge covers loads up to 240 pounds and the weight decides the rest. Ask before the machine leaves the house.
When & how
There is no collection day for a machine. A hauler pickup runs on that hauler's schedule and a Metro load goes during transfer station hours.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it comes apart, keep the loose weights with it, and drain anything powered by fluid. Keep it out of the weekly cart and out of the recycling, and remember that metal parts are often recyclable while the rest of the machine is garbage weight.
The city cleanup is the piece of the system that behaves like a bulky item service: twice a year, residents with a current Waste Management account can put out up to six extra bags of 32 gallons or less on the regular collection day at no extra charge, and the same cleanup includes a bulky drop off where three single items come off free.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Forest Grove residents with a current Waste Management account. The cleanup adds up to six extra bags on the regular collection day at no extra charge, and three single bulky items come off free at the B Street drop off with proof of residency by utility bill. Outside those dates, extra garbage at the curb is priced per can or bag on the city rate sheet.
When & how
The cleanup runs in spring and fall, with the next extra curbside collection Monday, November 2 through Friday, November 6 and the bulky waste and appliance drop off on Saturday, November 7 from 9 am to 2 pm.
Get it ready
Use bags of 32 gallons or less, keep food waste out of the extra curbside bags, and keep hazardous waste, construction and remodeling material, kitchen garbage and yard debris out of the drop off pile, because all of those are refused there. Bring the city utility bill, and note that construction waste is a different route entirely.
The city rate sheet prices carts, bags and bundles rather than bulky items, so the weekly collection takes what fits in the subscribed container and nothing larger. Extra household garbage at the curb is priced per can or bag, and the twice yearly cleanup is the one time extra bags come off without a per bag charge.
The cleanup has two halves: extra bags and a drop off
In the cleanup weeks a household puts up to six extra bags of 32 gallons or less on the regular collection day at no extra charge, and separately brings up to three single items such as a couch, a mattress or an appliance to the B Street drop off with the utility bill as proof of residency. The drop off refuses hazardous waste, construction and remodeling material, kitchen garbage and yard debris.
Metro Central and Metro South take up to four mattresses or box springs per customer per day and most metal appliances at no charge from residential customers, while an appliance built to contain coolant is charged per unit with a limit of five a day. Recyclables, yard debris and clean wood each have their own rate, and the minimum load charge covers loads up to 240 pounds.
Paint, chemicals and sharps go to Metro, not the curb
Household hazardous waste is free for households at Metro Central and Metro South, with a daily limit of 35 gallons measured by container size, and it includes paint, stains, sealants, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, pool and spa chemicals, automotive products, compressed gas cylinders and medical sharps. The city itself does not offer hazardous waste recycling, and businesses need a permit, an appointment and a fee.
Seven or fewer devices is the free electronics limit
Oregon E-Cycles takes seven or fewer computers, monitors, televisions and printers at a time at no charge at participating collection sites, with keyboards and mice also free, and the program excludes other kinds of electronics. The city says televisions, computers and monitors are accepted for recycling at all times, so a device does not have to wait for the cleanup.
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.

Food waste is not accepted in the extra bags, and the drop off refuses all hazardous waste, all construction, remodeling and demolition material, kitchen garbage, yard debris and the waste and recyclables collected curbside.

City of Forest Grove with Waste Management as the franchised hauler and Metro for transfer stations and household hazardous waste
Take electronics to an Oregon E-Cycles site
Anyone with televisions, monitors, desktop or laptop computers, tablets or printers to recycle, up to seven devices at a time.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Oregon E-Cycles is free: seven or fewer computers, monitors, televisions and printers at a time are taken at participating collection sites, and computer peripherals such as keyboards and mice are accepted free. Other types of electronics are not included in the program.
Arrange it
Find the nearest participating site through the program's site finder or by calling 888-769-0149, then bring the devices during the site's own hours. The city states that televisions, computers and monitors are accepted for recycling at all times, so this does not wait for a cleanup week.
The free allowance is seven or fewer devices of the covered types at one time, and electronics outside the covered list are not part of the program, so confirm an unusual device before the trip and wipe personal data first.
City of Forest Grove with Waste Management as the franchised hauler and Metro for transfer stations and household hazardous waste

Cost & conditions
No charge. Household hazardous waste disposal is free for households, with a daily limit of 35 gallons measured by container size. Businesses must apply for a permit, make an appointment and pay a fee.
Arrange it

Both are closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day, and questions go to 503-234-3000.
Electric vehicle batteries, most explosives, large loads and containers and radioactive material are refused, and waste that the main transfer stations accept has to go there instead. Loads must arrive upright in sturdy boxes with lids secured, and medical sharps belong in an FDA cleared red container, with free empty containers available.
A household with a mattress or box spring in any condition that wants to recycle it rather than landfill it.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Mattresses and box springs in any condition and no matter when they were purchased are accepted free at participating Oregon collection sites and events under the Mattress Recycling Council program.
Arrange it
Find the nearest participating site or event through the program's Oregon location directory, then check the acceptable and unacceptable item list and contact the site about its hours before going.
The program asks households to confirm both the item list and the site's hours, because locations and events change, and a mattress that Metro would treat as garbage rather than a mattress, such as a futon, crib mattress, waterbed or air mattress, is outside what the program takes.
