The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Milwaukie does not collect waste itself. Three franchised haulers run weekly garbage, recycling and yard debris under rates the City Council sets each year, and the City adds one curbside bulky waste collection in June for single-family homes with current service. Furniture, bagged mattresses, carpet, small appliances without freon, metal items and exercise equipment are all eligible that day inside a five bag or one couch limit, while refrigerators, televisions, computers and construction debris are not, so those items go to a hauler pickup, to Oregon E-Cycles for free electronics recycling, or to a Metro transfer station. Household hazardous waste stays free for households at the Metro facilities, with a daily gallon limit and a load safety checklist.
Furniture is eligible for the free June curbside bulky waste day, and a hauler can also pick a piece up at any time during the year for a published charge.
City cost & eligibility
From $6 for for a furniture or recyclable appliance pick-up arranged with the franchised hauler outside the bulky waste day, with the published range running to 31 dollars and a freon removal charge added where a unit holds refrigerant. The June bulky waste day is included for single-family residents with current solid waste service inside Milwaukie city limits and costs nothing beyond the garbage and recycling fees the City Council sets. Multifamily and commercial accounts are not eligible for that day.
When & how
The bulky waste day runs on the second and third Saturday of June, which is June 13 and June 20 in 2026, with the weekend set by address. A year round hauler pickup is booked directly with the company that serves the address.
Get it ready
Keep the set-out to the equivalent of five garbage bags or one couch, put it where the carts normally sit by 4 a.m. on the collection day, and expect several trucks to work the route through the day. Furniture with long parts or a couch longer than six feet may be left behind, because collectors may only take the published items in the published quantities.
A mattress is eligible for the June bulky waste day when it is bagged, and Metro transfer stations take mattresses and box springs with a published rebate per item.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The June bulky waste day is included for single-family residents with current solid waste service inside the city limits, inside the five bag or one couch limit. Metro adds a published rebate for each mattress or box spring brought to a transfer station, with a daily limit on how many are accepted.
When & how
Set the mattress out by 4 a.m. on the June collection day for the address, or take it to a Metro transfer station during its posted hours.
Get it ready
Bag the mattress before it goes to the curb, because the City publishes that requirement as part of the accepted item list. Keep it inside the quantity limit, and for a self haul load separate it from garbage so the rebate can be applied at the scale.
Small appliances without freon are eligible for the June bulky waste day, while a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner is excluded there and has to go through a hauler pickup or a Metro transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
Small appliances without freon ride the free June bulky day. A unit that holds refrigerant is excluded from that day and instead uses a hauler pick-up, where the published range for a furniture or recyclable appliance pick-up runs to 31 dollars with a 30 dollar freon removal charge, or a Metro transfer station, where appliances that run on coolant are charged a published per appliance rate with a daily limit. Confirm the route and the charge for the unit before set-out.
When & how
Small appliances go out with the June bulky day set-out by 4 a.m. A cooling appliance is booked with the hauler or hauled to a Metro transfer station, where metal appliances are free and coolant appliances are charged.
Get it ready
Keep any unit that contains refrigerant out of the curb pile for the bulky day, because refrigerators, freezers and air conditioners are on the ineligible list. Drain a water heater before it goes out, since the City lists drained water heaters among the metal items it takes.
Computers, monitors and televisions are excluded from the bulky waste day and instead recycle free through Oregon E-Cycles, including at the Metro transfer stations.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free through Oregon E-Cycles for anyone bringing seven or fewer computers, laptops, tablets, monitors, televisions and printers at one time, with keyboards and mice also free and other electronics outside the program. Metro's transfer stations accept the same items free with a seven item per day limit.
When & how
Find a participating collection site through the state site locator, or use a Metro transfer station, which accepts the devices during posted station hours.
Get it ready
Keep the devices whole or broken, but keep them out of the bulky waste pile, because computers and accessories and televisions are on the City's ineligible list for the June day. Donations are also accepted by Free Geek in southeast Portland.
Construction debris is not collected in the carts or on the bulky waste day, so a renovation load leaves through a hauler drop box or a self haul to a Metro transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
Construction debris is not accepted in the weekly carts or in the curbside bulky waste collection. It leaves in a hauler drop box rented under the published rate schedule, where a 10 or 20 yard loose material box lists at one rate and 30 and 40 yard boxes at higher rates plus disposal, or on a self haul load to Metro with its per ton garbage, mixed wood and clean wood rates.
When & how
Order the drop box from the hauler that serves the address, or haul the load to a Metro transfer station during posted hours.
Get it ready
Sort the load before it moves: clean wood that is free of paint, stain, hardware straps and shipping labels is charged at a lower Metro rate than mixed wood or garbage, and separated recyclables earn a rebate at the scale. Railroad ties four feet or shorter are accepted from non-commercial customers, and flat or built-up roofing is refused outright.
The City runs one free curbside bulky waste collection each June for single-family homes, with a five bag or one couch limit and a published item list.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included for single-family residents with current solid waste service inside Milwaukie city limits, with costs covered by the garbage and recycling fees the City Council sets. Residents of multifamily units and commercial account holders are not eligible.
When & how
The collection runs on the second and third Saturday of June, June 13 and June 20 in 2026, with the weekend fixed by address. Items go out by 4 a.m. and no call ahead is needed.
Get it ready
Bag smaller items up to 30 pounds, tie long loose items such as lumber, blinds, pipes, brooms and mops into bundles no longer than six feet and 30 pounds, roll and tie carpet to the same limits, bag styrofoam, and keep loose piles out of the set-out. Everything collected is treated as garbage and landfilled, so donation, reuse and recycling come first.
Exercise equipment is named on the City's eligible list for the June bulky waste day under the metal category.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Included with the June bulky waste day for single-family residents with current solid waste service inside the city limits, inside the five bag or one couch limit and with bundled pieces under 30 pounds. A year round hauler pickup is the paid alternative.
When & how
Put the machine out by 4 a.m. on the June collection day for the address, which is June 13 or June 20 in 2026.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where the maker allows it and bundle or bag loose parts so nothing exceeds 30 pounds, because loose and scattered items are not collected. Small engines and machine parts have to be free of fluids, and everything collected that day is landfilled rather than recycled.
Items go where the carts normally sit by 4 a.m. on the collection day, no call ahead is needed, and more than one truck works the neighborhood because appliances, tires and other materials ride separately. The set-out cannot exceed the equivalent of five garbage bags or one couch.
The event is limited to single-family residents with current solid waste service inside Milwaukie city limits. Residents of multifamily units and commercial account holders cannot take part and need a hauler pickup or a Metro transfer station trip instead.
Collectors may only take the published eligible items in the published quantities and weights, so a couch longer than six feet, a loose pile of small items, an overstuffed bundle or an ineligible appliance stays at the curb. Items left out past the collection day may be ineligible, and the hauler has to verify what it will take.
The City states that the bulky waste day is not a recycling event and that every item collected is treated as garbage and landfilled. Donation, reuse and recycling options come first, and Metro's find a recycler service lists local programs.
Metro takes household hazardous waste free with a daily limit of 35 gallons measured by container size, and businesses need a permit, an appointment and a fee. Products stay upright in sturdy boxes with lids secured, leaking containers go into zip top bags, bulbs are wrapped rather than taped, and electric vehicle batteries, most explosives, very large containers and radioactive material are refused.
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.
Milwaukie households that need garbage, recycling and yard debris collection at the curb.
Cost & conditions
From $34.72 per month for the smallest published residential can service, with recycling and yard debris included in the weekly collection rate. The three franchised haulers charge the same uniform rates, which the City Council sets each year. Larger cans, roller carts, extra cans of garbage or yard debris, redelivery and on call service carry their own published amounts.
Arrange it
Contact the hauler that serves the address to start service, and use that company for missed collections, carts and pickup scheduling.
The City cannot schedule or resolve a missed pickup, and it directs residents to their hauler instead. The June bulky waste day is the only bulky route included in the rates.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Included with the garbage and recycling fees the City Council sets. The event is limited to single-family residents with current service inside Milwaukie city limits, and multifamily or commercial account holders cannot take part.
Arrange it
Check the map for the June weekend assigned to the address, then set accepted items where the carts normally go by 4 a.m. on that Saturday.
The set-out cannot exceed the equivalent of five garbage bags or one couch, and refrigerators, freon appliances, televisions, computers, construction debris, paint, propane tanks, plate glass, rocks and roofing are not accepted.
Households that cannot wait for June, or that live in a multifamily building and are not eligible for the City event.
Cost & conditions
From $6 for for a furniture or recyclable appliance pick-up arranged with the hauler, with the published range running to 31 dollars, a freon removal charge added for a cooling appliance, and tire pick-ups charged at a published per tire rate with disposal billed separately. Prices come from the city fee schedule that all three franchised haulers follow, so the household confirms the exact amount with the company that serves the address.
Arrange it
Call the hauler that serves the address, describe the items and quantities, and confirm the pickup day.
Hourly truck and crew rates apply to work that does not fit the published item pick-up categories, and tires are billed per tire with disposal on top.
Households and contractors with a cleanout or renovation load that no cart or bulky set-out can carry.
Cost & conditions
From $177 for for a 10 or 20 yard loose material drop box from a franchised hauler, before disposal costs, with 30 yard and 40 yard boxes priced higher and special waste boxes carrying their own published rates. The published schedule adds deposit limits, a one stop service charge, rent after five working days without collection, a monthly equipment fee for lidded or specialty boxes, mileage beyond a published round trip distance, and a deadhead charge for boxes that cannot be exchanged.
Arrange it
Order the box from the hauler that serves the address and confirm placement, the rental period and the disposal terms before it is dropped.
Disposal is charged on top of the box rate, so the load cost depends on weight and on what is separated, and the deposit and mileage terms vary with the site.
