Furniture and mattresses leave on a bulky waste haul that Republic Services arranges for an additional fee based on yardage and special handling, electronics go to Oregon E-Cycles, and household chemicals go to a hazardous waste facility through Clackamas County.

Furniture and mattresses are barred from the trash cart and leave on a bulky waste haul that Republic Services charges by yardage and special handling, and electronics are barred from the trash cart as well and go free to a participating Oregon E-Cycles site, up to seven computers, monitors, televisions or printers at a time with keyboards and mice also free.
