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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
