You want to know it is handled.
When the next collection does not fit your plans, choose a Dropcurb pickup day. Updates keep you informed, and completion photos show when the booked items are gone.
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.

A mattress is a bulky item that the garbage company may collect, and the county says extra fees may apply.
City cost & eligibility
The county names mattresses as bulky waste and tells homeowners to call their garbage company to ask if it can pick the item up, noting that extra fees may apply, and it publishes no amount, so ask the company for the price before the mattress goes out.
When & how
Call the garbage and recycling company that serves the address and ask whether the mattress can be picked up as a bulky item, or take it to a drop-off location if the company cannot collect it.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress out of the garbage bin and the recycling bin, consider donating it first if it is in good condition, and note that multifamily residents arrange large items through the landlord or property manager.
Furniture too large for the bin goes through the garbage company as bulky waste, with fees possible.
City cost & eligibility
The county treats large items as bulky waste that the garbage company may collect for an extra fee and publishes no amount, so ask the company for the price of the piece or take it to a drop-off location instead.
When & how
Call the garbage and recycling company to ask about the pickup, and use a drop-off location if the company cannot take the item.
Get it ready
Keep the piece out of the garbage and recycling bins, donate it first if it is in good condition, and remember that multifamily residents go through the landlord or property manager for large items.
Appliances are named as bulky waste and the garbage company decides whether it can collect them.
City cost & eligibility
The county lists appliances under bulky waste and publishes no rate, so call the garbage company to ask about the pickup and any extra fee, or take the appliance to a drop-off location.
When & how
Call the garbage and recycling company first, and use a drop-off location if the company cannot collect the appliance.
Get it ready
Empty the unit, keep it out of the garbage and recycling bins, and keep any coolant-bearing appliance out of the yard waste and glass streams.
Electronics go free to Oregon E-Cycles, and they must never go in the garbage.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. The county directs computers, monitors, televisions, printers, keyboards and mice to Oregon E-Cycles, where up to seven qualifying items at a time are recycled free at a collection site.
When & how
Take up to seven qualifying items at a time to an Oregon E-Cycles collection site, and keep them out of the garbage bin because the county lists computers, monitors, televisions and compact fluorescent bulbs among the items that do not belong there.

Small painted or treated wood can go in the garbage bin, while Metro requires project construction waste to follow its own disposal process.
City cost & eligibility
The county lists painted and stained wood, lumber, plywood and treated wood among the items that can go in the garbage bin, but it publishes no construction rate and Metro states that all construction waste from greater Portland must follow specific disposal processes, so confirm where a project load goes with the garbage company or at 503-234-3000.
When & how
Ask the garbage and recycling company about a container or drop-off for a project load, and check the Metro construction waste process before hauling it.
Get it ready
Keep small painted or treated wood in the bagged garbage only as the county allows, keep asbestos out of every load because Metro's transfer stations cannot accept it, and keep hazardous products on the household hazardous waste route instead.
Exercise equipment is not named in the county guide, so the garbage company has to confirm it.
City cost & eligibility
The county guide names mattresses and appliances as bulky waste but does not name exercise equipment, so call the garbage and recycling company and confirm whether the machine can be collected as a large item, and what it costs.
When & how
Call the garbage company first, and arrange the pickup or a drop-off only once the item is confirmed.
Get it ready
Break the machine down where you can, keep it out of the garbage and recycling bins, and remove any battery before it goes out.
Bulky waste goes through the garbage company, which may charge an extra fee, or to a drop-off location.
City cost & eligibility

Recycling, glass, yard waste and garbage each have their own rules
All recycling has to be empty and dry, paper, metal and plastic go in the same recycling bin, and glass goes in a separate glass bin and never in the recycling bin, with missing bins coming from the garbage and recycling company. Yard waste collection is an urban service, motor oil goes next to the glass bin in a marked container with a screw-top cap holding two gallons or less for single-family customers, and ordinary garbage must be bagged.
Batteries, electronics, hazardous products and chemicals stay out of the bin
Batteries, computers, monitors, televisions, compact fluorescent bulbs, hazardous waste, propane tanks and fuel canisters and chemicals do not belong in the garbage, and the county sends them to drop-off locations or to Metro. Bulky items such as mattresses and appliances go through the garbage company instead of the bin, and laptops, monitors and printers go free to an Oregon E-Cycles collection site.
Metro transfer stations and hazardous waste facilities serve the region
The Metro Central and Metro South transfer stations take garbage, recycling, food waste and other debris, and a separated and covered load pays a lower rate. Household hazardous waste is free for households at both hazardous waste facilities with a daily 35 gallon limit, Metro's transfer stations cannot accept material containing asbestos, and Metro experts answer questions on weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 503-234-3000.
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.
