A clear count. An exact price.

Count the bags and boxes, not everything inside.

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.

Bulk junk removal in Gresham: start with the item’s collection rules, then choose the arrangement that fits.

Reviewed · Sources below

Couches, sofas and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

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 and white goods

Accepted with preparation

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 items and large loads

Accepted with preparation

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 handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

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.

Bulky waste is a trip fee plus the item price

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.

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.

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.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self haul in Gresham runs through the city's hazardous waste and specialty programmes rather than a city transfer station. Household hazardous waste is disposed of year round and must never go in the trash or down a drain, with the city pointing residents to a Metro facility or a neighbourhood collection event on 503-234-3000. Paints and stains go free to 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 be left curbside in a clear one gallon jug with a screw on lid beside the glass bin for residential customers, spent batteries go in the glass recycle bin, and sharps containers are taken at Gresham Sanitary Service on 503-665-2424 or free at Metro transfer stations and collection events. Everything else that will not fit the cart goes through the permitted hauler's bulky waste service, which charges a per trip pickup fee plus the published item price, and a renovation load goes in a hauler clean-up container or drop box priced by delivery, rental, hauling, market rate disposal and a percentage service fee.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Bulk junk removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Gresham.

How much does bulk junk removal cost in Gresham?

A trash bag is $59 as the first item and $10 additional. A filled household box is $59 as the first item. Add your actual items and quantities to see the combined price before booking. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; any applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

Can you pick up bags of junk today?

Book by 2pm in the pickup address’s local time for same-day pickup. Available dates appear at checkout. Have the booked bags and boxes outside and accessible according to your confirmation. You receive pickup updates and completion photos; the booking is for a day rather than an exact arrival time.

Do I count every object inside a bag or box?

No. Count the filled bags or boxes using the matching choice. Books and media go in Filled household box; clothes, bedding and shoes go in Bag of clothes & bedding; packed toys have a Box of toys choice. Empty cardboard is separate, with individual empty boxes and bundles of 10 flattened boxes. Heavy, oversized or unusual contents need a photo review before booking.

Can you pick up a small loose pile of household junk?

Yes. Estimate how many trash bags the small household pile would fill, and bag or box as much as possible. Select furniture and other larger items separately. There is no extra charge just because the pile is loose. Send a photo first if the count or contents are unclear. A household Dumpster Bag choice does not accept construction debris.

Can I book bags, boxes and furniture together?

Yes. Select the bags and boxes, then add each larger item using its own catalog choice. The booking shows one combined price for the selected items. Move everything to an accessible outdoor spot before pickup; indoor carrying and sorting are not included. Keep anything you want to retain apart from the booked items and identify what goes in your photos and notes.

How does a couch get picked up in Gresham?
