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.

Reviewed · Sources below

Couches, tables and household furniture

Accepted with preparation

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.

Mattresses and box springs

Accepted with preparation

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.

Appliances, refrigerators and air conditioners

Special rules apply

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.

Bulky waste day and oversized items

Accepted with preparation

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.

The handoff matters

Right item.
Right place.

Hazardous waste goes to Metro with limits

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.

Weekly service from the franchised hauler

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.

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.

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.

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.

Does a couch have to wait for the June bulky waste day?
