The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Gresham does not collect waste itself. The city regulates the private haulers that serve each address, sets the collection rates they may charge, and publishes the bulky waste price list that every one of them uses, so the first call for a couch, a mattress or an appliance is the permitted company serving the property: Arrow Sanitary, Gresham Sanitary, Hoodview Disposal, Rockwood Solid Waste or Waste Management. The bulky waste service charges a per trip pickup fee plus the cost of the item, and the item cost follows four published tiers, from a small item such as a pallet or bicycle through a medium item such as a desk, a large item such as a recliner or a standard mattress, and an extra large item up to 250 pounds such as a couch or a king size mattress with box spring, with anything heavier also drawing a Metro tip fee. Appliances have their own list, where a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner costs far more than a stove or a washer, and electronics are priced per item. Everything the hauler will not take has a public route instead: televisions and computers go free to Oregon E-Cycles, paints and stains go free to PaintCare, and the rest of the household hazardous waste goes to a Metro facility or a neighbourhood collection event.
Furniture is collected by the permitted hauler through the city-published bulky waste service, where a couch sits in the extra large tier and smaller pieces such as a chair, desk, bookshelf or end table sit in the lower tiers.
City cost & eligibility
$42 for for an extra large bulky item up to 250 pounds, such as a couch or an entertainment center, plus the 18.00 per trip pickup fee the hauler charges. Any Gresham address served by one of the five permitted haulers, with the pickup arranged with the company that serves the property.
When & how
Call the permitted hauler that serves the address to book the bulky waste pickup, which runs separately from the weekly garbage, recycling and yard debris collection.
Get it ready
Set the piece where the hauler asks before the collection, keep it within the weight tier that was quoted, and note that items over 250 pounds draw an additional Metro tip fee on top of the published item price.
Mattresses and box springs are named in the city's bulky waste tiers: a king size set is an extra large item and every other size is a large item.
City cost & eligibility
$42 for for a king size mattress with box spring as an extra large bulky item up to 250 pounds, with any other mattress size including its box spring priced at 29.00 as a large item, plus the 18.00 per trip pickup fee. Any Gresham address served by one of the five permitted haulers, with the pickup booked through the company that serves the property.
When & how
Book the bulky waste pickup with the permitted hauler, separately from the weekly garbage, recycling and yard debris collection.
Get it ready
Count the mattress and box spring together as the set the price list describes, keep the bedding dry, and confirm the tier with the hauler because a set over 250 pounds draws the Metro tip fee as well.
Appliances have their own published pickup list, with a plain stove, washer, dryer or dishwasher at the low price and a refrigerant appliance such as a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner at the highest price on the list.
City cost & eligibility
From $6 per appliance pickup, from 6.00 for a microwave without its glass tray and 16.00 for a drained water heater, stove, washer, dryer, dishwasher or barbecue without tank, up to 48.00 for a residential refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner, plus the 18.00 per trip pickup fee. Any Gresham address served by one of the five permitted haulers, with the pickup arranged through the company that serves the property.
When & how
Book the appliance pickup with the permitted hauler and keep it separate from the weekly collection, because the appliance list is priced per item rather than by cart size.
Get it ready
Drain a water heater before it is collected, remove the glass tray from a microwave, take the tank off a barbecue, and expect the highest price for a unit that holds refrigerant.
Electronics are priced per item in the bulky waste list, and the covered devices are also recycled free at Oregon E-Cycles locations.
City cost & eligibility
From $11 per electronic item through the hauler bulky waste service, such as a television, laptop or printer, with the same pickup fee of 18.00 per trip, while televisions, computers, monitors, printers, keyboards and tablets are recycled free at Oregon E-Cycles locations. Any Gresham address served by one of the five permitted haulers for the pickup route, or any household for the free Oregon E-Cycles drop-off.
When & how
Either book the bulky waste pickup with the permitted hauler or take the covered devices to an Oregon E-Cycles location, which the city lists with the toll free number 888-532-9253.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before handover, keep the device whole, and call Metro on 503-234-3000 for electronics that the Oregon E-Cycles programme does not cover.
The haulers offer clean-up containers and drop boxes on a published rate structure of delivery, rental, hauling, marketplace disposal and a service fee.
City cost & eligibility
From $49 for one time container delivery on the occasional schedule, with standard delivery at 52.00, hauling at 168.00 per drop box, per day rental of 9.00 for a 10 or 20 yard container, 13.00 for 30 yard and 17.00 for 40 yard, monthly rentals of 93.00, 105.00 and 118.00, disposal charged at the receiving facility's market rate and a 10% service fee. Any Gresham address served by the permitted haulers, which the city rate schedule authorises to offer clean-up containers and drop boxes.
When & how
Order the container through the permitted hauler before the work starts, because rental charges begin after the container has been on site for 48 hours and the disposal cost is passed through at the market rate.
Get it ready
Separate clean wood, metal and inert material so the load can be priced, and confirm the container size and the receiving facility with the hauler because the distance fee and the percentage service fee both apply on top of the hauling and rental.
Exercise equipment is not named in the bulky waste tiers, and the city only invites residents to ask the hauler about other items, so the machine is confirmed before it is set out.
City cost & eligibility
No tier names an exercise machine, and the page tells residents to contact the hauler about other items, so confirm the machine and the tier it will be charged at before the pickup.
When & how
Call the permitted hauler that serves the address and confirm the item first, then book the bulky waste pickup on the date the company gives.
Get it ready
Break the machine down so it can be handled, describe the item and its weight when confirming, and expect an extra large tier or a Metro tip fee if the machine is heavy.
Bulky waste in Gresham is any large item that does not fit the regular trash or recycle bin, priced as a per trip pickup fee plus the cost of the item in four published tiers.
City cost & eligibility
$18 for pick up fee per trip, plus the cost of each item, from 12.00 for a small item such as a pallet, end table or bicycle through 16.00 for a medium item such as a desk, bookshelf or chair, 29.00 for a large item such as a recliner, dresser or standard mattress set, and 42.00 for an extra large item up to 250 pounds such as a couch or a king size mattress set, with electronics at 11.00 and tires at 10.00 each or 12.00 with a rim, and items over 250 pounds also charged a Metro tip fee. Any Gresham address served by one of the five permitted haulers, with the pickup arranged through the company that serves the property.
When & how
Book the bulky waste pickup with the permitted hauler separately from the weekly garbage, recycling and yard debris collection, since the bulky service is priced per trip rather than included in the cart rate.
Get it ready
Group the items so one trip covers the load, keep each piece within the weight tier that was quoted, keep tires and electronics to the published prices, and ask the hauler about anything the tiers do not name.
Household hazardous waste is handled year round through Metro facilities and neighbourhood collection events, with free PaintCare counters for paints and stains and separate programmes for medications, motor oil, batteries and sharps.
City cost & eligibility
The city publishes the routes rather than a single price: paints and stains are free at PaintCare locations, sharps are taken at no cost at Metro transfer stations and neighbourhood events, Gresham Sanitary charges city set rates at 11.98 or 23.96 per sharps container, and motor oil and batteries go out with the curbside service, so confirm any charge with the programme before the trip.
When & how
Drop the material at a Metro facility or neighbourhood collection event, which the city lists with Metro on 503-234-3000, and use PaintCare on 855-724-6809 for paint and stains and the Oregon Drug Take Back Program on 844-482-5322 for medications.
Get it ready
Never put the material in the trash or down a drain, put motor oil in a clear one gallon jug with a screw on lid beside the glass bin if the address has residential curbside service, put spent batteries in the glass recycle bin, and confirm the drop-off times for a sharps container before travelling.
Weekly curbside service bundles a 60 gallon yard debris cart with the garbage rate, and extra yard debris is priced per cart, per year or per bag and bundle.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. One 60 gallon yard debris cart is included with every weekly residential garbage rate, with each additional 60 gallon cart at 9.88 a month, yard debris extras such as a 32 gallon can, a kraft yard debris bag or a bundle at 4.99 each, a yard debris only annual service at 140.38 and a 3.00 monthly yard debris exemption credit.
When & how
Yard debris is collected weekly with the garbage and recycling, and extras go out on the same collection day.
Get it ready
Use a kraft yard debris bag, a 32 gallon can or a bundle for the extras priced on the schedule, keep the material out of the recycling cart, and check the hauler's own preparation rules because the cart is supplied as part of the standard service.
The haulers are private and the city sets what they may charge
Gresham regulates private haulers instead of collecting waste itself, and five companies serve the city: Arrow Sanitary on 503-257-1331, Gresham Sanitary on 503-665-2424, Hoodview Disposal on 503-668-8300, Rockwood Solid Waste on 503-666-3488 and Waste Management on 1-800-808-5901. Questions about service, missed pickups and bills go to the hauler that serves the address, and the recycling and solid waste line at the city is 503-618-2525.
The bulky waste service charges a pickup fee per trip plus the cost of the items collected, and the item cost follows the city's published tiers: small for an item such as a pallet, end table or bicycle, medium for a desk, bookshelf or chair, large for a recliner, dresser or standard mattress set, and extra large for an item up to 250 pounds such as a couch, entertainment center or king size mattress set. Electronics and tires have their own rates, appliances follow their own list, and anything over 250 pounds also draws a Metro tip fee.
Weekly service bundles garbage, recycling and yard debris
Standard curbside service is weekly collection of garbage, recyclables and yard debris, and a 60 gallon yard debris cart comes with the garbage rate. The city's residential rates effective July 1, 2026 step up from a 20 gallon garbage cart through 35, 60 and 90 gallon sizes, with lower prices for additional carts. Spent batteries can go in the glass recycle bin for residential customers, and Recycle Plus adds a purple bin for hard-to-recycle items on request.
The material the hauler will not take has a public route
Household hazardous waste must never go in the trash or down a drain, and the city routes it to a Metro facility or a neighbourhood collection event on 503-234-3000. Paints and stains are free at PaintCare locations on 855-724-6809, medications go through the Oregon Drug Take Back Program on 844-482-5322, televisions, computers, monitors, printers, keyboards and tablets are free at Oregon E-Cycles locations on 888-532-9253, motor oil can go curbside in a clear one gallon jug beside the glass bin, and sharps go to Gresham Sanitary Service or free to Metro transfer stations and collection events.
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.
City of Gresham Recycling and Solid Waste with its permitted haulers
Book the bulky waste pickup with your hauler
A Gresham household with a couch, a mattress set, an appliance, a television, a tire or another item too large for the cart.
Cost & conditions
From $12 per item on the city bulky waste list from 12.00 for a small item such as a pallet, end table or bicycle, with electronics at 11.00 and tires at 10.00 each, plus the 18.00 per trip pickup fee. Any Gresham address served by one of the five permitted haulers, arranging the pickup with the company that serves the property.
Arrange it
Call the permitted hauler for the address, describe the items and their weight, confirm the tier each item falls into, and book the collection on the trip the company offers.
Priced per trip plus per item, items over 250 pounds draw a Metro tip fee, and the tier list does not name every item, so anything unusual has to be confirmed with the hauler first.
City of Gresham Recycling and Solid Waste with its permitted haulers
Rent a clean-up container or drop box from a hauler
A household or contractor with renovation, demolition or large clean-up material that the bulky tiers cannot cover.
Cost & conditions
From $49 for one time container delivery, which is 49.00 on the occasional schedule and 52.00 standard, plus hauling at 168.00 per drop box, per day rental of 9.00 for a 10 or 20 yard container, 13.00 for 30 yard and 17.00 for 40 yard, monthly rentals of 93.00, 105.00 and 118.00, disposal at the receiving facility's market rate and a 10% service fee. Any Gresham address served by the permitted haulers.
Arrange it
Order the container from the permitted hauler, have it placed where the truck can reach it, and book the haul when the work is finished because rental charges begin after 48 hours on site.
The disposal cost is passed through at the market rate of the receiving facility, a percentage service fee and a distance fee beyond 18 miles round trip both apply, and the container must be loaded with material the receiving site will take.
A household with a television, computer, monitor, printer, keyboard or tablet to recycle rather than pay for.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Televisions, computers, monitors, printers, keyboards and tablets are recycled free at Oregon E-Cycles locations, which the city lists with the toll free number 888-532-9253.
Arrange it
Take the device to an Oregon E-Cycles location, and call Metro on 503-234-3000 for electronics the programme does not cover.
The programme covers the listed device types, so anything outside them has to go through Metro or the hauler bulky service instead.
A household with leftover paint, stain or similar coating products.
Cost & conditions
No charge. The city directs residents to drop paints and stains for free at PaintCare locations, which are listed on the PaintCare line at 855-724-6809.
Arrange it
Find a PaintCare location on 855-724-6809 and drop the material there, keeping it in its original container.
PaintCare covers paints and stains, so solvents, pesticides, batteries and other household chemicals still go to a Metro facility or a neighbourhood collection event.
