Does Portland pick up furniture?

Junk removal in Portland starts at $79 with Dropcurb — same-day curbside pickup with flat per-item pricing. Portland has no scheduled bulk pickup program despite residents paying $42-59 monthly for waste services through BPS franchise haulers. That means furniture, appliances, and electronics require separate arrangements — either paying haulers or driving to Metro transfer stations yourself.

City program details: Portland Bureau of Planning & Sustainability (BPS) regulates franchise haulers for weekly recycling/compost and bi-weekly garbage. NO scheduled bulk pickup program exists. Appliance pickup through franchise haulers costs $45-75/item. Rates: 20-gal $42.15/mo, 35-gal $46.75/mo, 60-gal $52.25/mo, 90-gal $58.90/mo. BPS directs residents to Metro transfer stations or private junk removal companies for bulky items.

Metro South Transfer Station (2001 Washington St, Oregon City) and Metro Central Transfer Station (6161 NW 61st Ave) charge per-ton rates plus a $28 transaction fee per load for public customers (staffed scales). Loads under 240 lbs pay a flat minimum fee; heavier loads are charged proportionally per ton. Add gas, truck rental ($50-90/day), and bridge tolls, and a single self-haul trip runs $80-150+. Mike and Dad's Hauling claims pricing up to 50% cheaper than national franchises — locally owned and operated with no hidden fees. Affordable Junk Removal (AJR) Portland offers flat-fee trailer-based pricing. PDX Junk Removal at (503) 409-6332 offers discounts for bookings before 11 AM. 1-800-GOT-JUNK Portland starts at $169 minimum with $200-500+ typical. Junk King Portland runs $179-600+.

What happens to your furniture after pickup

Furniture in usable condition — structurally sound, clean, no major damage — is donated to local charities like Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, and Salvation Army. Our haulers prioritize donation whenever possible. Wood furniture that can't be donated may be recycled or repurposed. Metal frames and hardware are sent to scrap processors. Items that can't be donated or recycled are disposed of at licensed solid waste facilities.

Why Portland residents choose Dropcurb for furniture removal

At $79, Dropcurb saves money vs. Metro transfer stations when factoring in truck rental ($50-90/day), gas ($15-25), bridge tolls ($2-4), and time off work. Skip 1-800-GOT-JUNK's $169+ minimums, Junk King's $179+ rates, and College Hunks' $150+ pricing. Same-day pickup beats 1-3 week waits for local Portland haulers across Sellwood-Moreland, Woodstock, Irvington, and Foster-Powell neighborhoods.
