City collection Furniture is the clearest group on the county bulky rate list: a couch or loveseat is an extra large item, a recliner or accent chair is a large item, and desks, bookshelves, chairs and filing cabinets are medium, while an end table or plant stand is a small item. From $11.39 per item, from the small item rate up to the extra large item rate on the August 1, 2026 county bulky rate list, with the flat pick-up fee added. The county lists a couch or loveseat at the extra large rate, a recliner or accent chair at the large rate, and a desk, bookshelf, chair or filing cabinet at the medium rate. Confirm the size group for the piece when you book.
City collection A mattress is priced by size on the county bulky list: a king set is an extra large item and any other size with its box spring is a large item. A mattress is also one of the few household items a Metro transfer station takes free, up to four per customer per day. From $27.95 per mattress and box spring set in any size other than king on the August 1, 2026 county bulky rate list, with the flat pick-up fee added. A king set is billed at the extra large item rate, the pick-up fee applies once per visit regardless of how many items go out, and a Metro transfer station takes mattresses and box springs instead at no charge to residential customers.
City collection A refrigerator, freezer, portable air conditioner, dehumidifier or water cooler is a coolant containing appliance on the county bulky rate list, and Metro charges per appliance for the same group at its transfer stations because the refrigerant has to be recovered before the unit is scrapped. From $42.5 per appliance containing coolant on the August 1, 2026 county bulky rate list, with the flat pick-up fee added. The group is a freezer, refrigerator, portable air conditioner, dehumidifier or water cooler. Metro charges $30 per coolant appliance at its transfer stations, with a limit of five per day per person, and that fee replaces the free metal appliance drop-off.
City collection Garbage and recycling collection in unincorporated Washington County is provided by the certificated company assigned to the address, and the county sets the rates that company may charge, so Rockcreek has a company route rather than a city department. $8.46 per extra bag or bundle of garbage outside the cart for an urban customer at the August 1, 2026 rate, with the rural rate at $9.20. Monthly cart service runs $29.09 to $54.36 urban and $29.73 to $57.55 rural depending on cart size, and a $2.00 per month recycling charge is added to every residential service type, including will-call and recycling-only service. Your certificated company bills the service.
The highest first-item price applies once. Every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Applicable sales tax is shown before payment.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Rockcreek is unincorporated Washington County, so there is no city sanitation department: the county sets the rates and the certificated company assigned to the address collects. Large pieces move on a bulky item pickup that you book with that company, priced as a flat pick-up fee plus a charge for each item, and the same route covers mattresses, appliances, televisions and tires that must not go in the garbage. Self-haul loads go to a transfer station, where a Metro facility takes mattresses and most electronics free from households and charges coolant appliances, while the state Oregon E-Cycles program takes computers, monitors, televisions and printers at participating sites at no cost. Dropcurb hauls residential items from addresses across Rockcreek.

City cost & eligibility
$8.46 per extra bag or bundle of garbage outside the cart for an urban customer at the August 1, 2026 rate, with the rural rate at $9.20. Monthly cart service runs $29.09 to $54.36 urban and $29.73 to $57.55 rural depending on cart size, and a $2.00 per month recycling charge is added to every residential service type, including will-call and recycling-only service. Your certificated company bills the service.
When & how
Weekly on the collection day for the address, which the county's Garbage and Recycling Day tool shows along with the name of the collecting company, and the same tool carries the service alerts when severe weather delays a route.
Get it ready
Keep the material inside the cart unless you are paying for an extra bag or bundle, and close the lid, because the county charges an over-capacity fee when the cart is overfilled and names a lid that will not shut as the indicator. A cart more than five feet from the curbside draws a monthly distance charge, while a disabled residential customer gets non-curbside collection at no extra charge.
Bulky item pickup booked with your collection company
Accepted with preparation
Your garbage and recycling company offers a bulky item pickup for large pieces such as furniture, appliances and mattresses, priced by the county as a flat pick-up fee plus a charge for each item by size and material. The county includes tires and televisions on this route because they must not go in the garbage.
City cost & eligibility
From $16 for flat pick-up fee per visit, with a separate item charge added for each piece set out. The county sets an urban pick-up fee of $16.00 for customers inside the Metropolitan Service District boundary and a rural pick-up fee of $32.00 for customers outside it, and item rates run from $11.39 to $42.50. Confirm which fee applies to the address and the total with your collection company.
When & how
Book the pickup with your collection company, and expect a bulky item day that may differ from your normal garbage and recycling day.
Get it ready
Have the items at the agreed spot on the agreed day, because the pick-up fee is billed even when the items are not on site, and call-back rates apply when the set-out does not match the instructions. Access that slows the crew is billed as extra labour in five-minute increments, and unlisted items are billed the standard pick-up fee plus a size and material rate.
Furniture is the clearest group on the county bulky rate list: a couch or loveseat is an extra large item, a recliner or accent chair is a large item, and desks, bookshelves, chairs and filing cabinets are medium, while an end table or plant stand is a small item.

The county lists a couch or loveseat at the extra large rate, a recliner or accent chair at the large rate, and a desk, bookshelf, chair or filing cabinet at the medium rate. Confirm the size group for the piece when you book.
When & how
Booked with your collection company on a bulky item day, which may differ from the normal garbage day.
Get it ready
Have the piece clean and at the agreed spot for the crew, and take the cushions off if that makes it easier to carry. A sectional is billed for each section, and an entertainment center or armoire is billed as an extra large item the same way a couch is.
A mattress is priced by size on the county bulky list: a king set is an extra large item and any other size with its box spring is a large item. A mattress is also one of the few household items a Metro transfer station takes free, up to four per customer per day.
City cost & eligibility
From $27.95 per mattress and box spring set in any size other than king on the August 1, 2026 county bulky rate list, with the flat pick-up fee added. A king set is billed at the extra large item rate, the pick-up fee applies once per visit regardless of how many items go out, and a Metro transfer station takes mattresses and box springs instead at no charge to residential customers.
When & how
Book the pickup with your collection company, or take it to a transfer station during public hours.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry, wrap it if it will sit out before the pickup, and have it at the agreed spot with its box spring if the set goes together. A mattress never goes in the garbage cart.
The county bulky rate sheet prices appliances in two groups. A stove, oven, washer, dryer, dishwasher or grill is a standard appliance item, while a freezer, refrigerator, portable air conditioner, dehumidifier or water cooler is a coolant containing appliance and costs more because the refrigerant has to be handled.
City cost & eligibility
From $16.56 per appliance item on the August 1, 2026 county bulky rate list, with the flat pick-up fee added. The appliance rate covers items such as a stove, washer or dryer, and a coolant containing appliance is billed at the higher coolant rate. Metal dishwashers, microwaves, water heaters, stoves, ovens and clothes washers and dryers are free to drop at a Metro transfer station.
When & how
Booked with your collection company as a bulky item, or dropped at a Metro transfer station, which takes most metal appliances at no charge.
Get it ready
Empty and clean the unit, keep loose parts with it, and have it at the agreed spot for the crew. Do not put an appliance in the recycling cart, and treat a refrigerator, freezer or air conditioner as a coolant appliance rather than a plain metal one.
A refrigerator, freezer, portable air conditioner, dehumidifier or water cooler is a coolant containing appliance on the county bulky rate list, and Metro charges per appliance for the same group at its transfer stations because the refrigerant has to be recovered before the unit is scrapped.
City cost & eligibility
From $42.5 per appliance containing coolant on the August 1, 2026 county bulky rate list, with the flat pick-up fee added. The group is a freezer, refrigerator, portable air conditioner, dehumidifier or water cooler. Metro charges $30 per coolant appliance at its transfer stations, with a limit of five per day per person, and that fee replaces the free metal appliance drop-off.
When & how
Booked with your collection company, or taken to a Metro transfer station, where coolant appliances are limited to five per day per person.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and have it at the agreed spot for the pickup or the scale trip, and keep it out of the recycling cart. Because a coolant appliance is a separate rate group, confirm which rate applies when the pickup is booked.
The county bulky rate list prices a television, laptop or printer as an electronics item through the collection company, and notes that televisions must not go in the garbage. The free route is Oregon E-Cycles, whose participating sites take computers, monitors, televisions and printers at no cost.
City cost & eligibility
From $10.35 per electronics item on the August 1, 2026 county bulky rate list, with the flat pick-up fee added. The paid route covers a television, monitor, computer, laptop or printer through your collection company. Oregon E-Cycles sites take the same group at no charge, seven items or fewer per visit, including keyboards and mice, and other types of electronics are not in the free program.
When & how
Booked with your collection company, or taken to a participating Oregon E-Cycles collection site or a Metro transfer station, which is an Oregon E-Cycles location.
Get it ready
Erase the data on a computer, tablet or phone before it leaves your hands, keep the power supply with the device, and keep electronics out of the garbage and the recycling cart. Oregon E-Cycles sites take seven or fewer computers, monitors, televisions and printers per visit, intact or broken.
Construction and demolition debris is not a bulky pickup category in Washington County. A large project such as a kitchen remodel or roof replacement goes into an on-site drop box from the collection company, and a self-haul load goes to a transfer station, where separated clean wood is cheaper than mixed debris.
City cost & eligibility
From $42 for minimum charge for a separated clean wood load up to 240 pounds at a Metro transfer station, with clean wood at $97.13 per ton. Mixed construction and demolition debris is charged at the garbage rate, which has a $51 minimum and runs $176.70 per ton, and a public customer at a staffed scale also pays a $30 transaction fee per load. Drop box pricing comes from your collection company.
When & how
Arrange a drop box or a transfer station trip rather than putting the material out for the weekly cart route.
Get it ready
Separate clean lumber, pallets and packing crates from painted, treated and engineered material, because clean wood has to be free of paint, stain, varnish, treatment, strapping, shrink wrap and hardware for the lower rate, while plywood, oriented strand board and particle board are charged as garbage. Cover the load, because an uncovered load pays extra at the scale.
Exercise equipment is not named in the county bulky item rate list, so a treadmill or a home gym moves as an unlisted item. The county's own rule for anything off the list is the standard pick-up fee plus a rate based on the size and material of the piece.
City cost & eligibility
Exercise equipment is not on the county bulky rate list, so the collection company bills the standard pick-up fee plus a rate based on size and material, and only the company can quote the total. County rate questions go to Solid Waste & Recycling at 503-846-3605.
When & how
Book it with your collection company and confirm the size group before the truck is sent.
Get it ready
Break the machine down as far as the maker allows, strap the parts together so one person can handle them, and have them at the agreed spot. Because the item is unlisted, the company sizes and prices it, so ask for the total when you book.
Rockcreek is unincorporated, so the county assigns a certificated collection company to each address rather than running a city route. The county's Garbage and Recycling Day tool shows which company collects and on which day, and it carries the service alerts when severe weather delays a route.
Extra material outside the cart is charged as an extra bag or bundle, and a cart that is overfilled or will not close draws an over-capacity fee. A cart more than five feet from the curbside or roadside carries a monthly distance charge, while a disabled residential customer gets non-curbside collection at no extra charge.
Bulky items are not swept up by the weekly cart truck: you call your collection company, the bulky item day may differ from the normal collection day, and the flat pick-up fee is billed even if the items are not out when the crew arrives. Call-back rates apply when a set-out does not match the instructions.
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.
Book a bulky item pickup with your collection company
A household with a couch, a mattress, an appliance, a television, tires or another large piece that the cart will not take.
Cost & conditions
From $16 for flat pick-up fee per visit, with a separate item charge added for each piece. The county sets $16.00 per visit for an urban address inside the Metropolitan Service District boundary and $32.00 for a rural address outside it, and item rates run from $11.39 for a small item to $42.50 for an appliance containing coolant. Confirm the fee for the address with your company.
Arrange it
Call the garbage and recycling company assigned to your address, describe the items, get the total, and set everything out on the bulky item day the company gives you.
Priced by item size or material, unlisted items are quoted individually, the pick-up fee is billed even when the items are not out, and access that slows the crew is billed in five-minute increments.
A household with a mattress, electronics, a metal appliance, mixed debris or a load that the bulky item list prices too high.
Cost & conditions
From $51 for minimum charge for a garbage load up to 240 pounds at the general public scale, with heavier loads charged by the ton. Clean yard debris has a $37 minimum, separated clean wood a $42 minimum, coolant appliances are $30 each, and a public customer at a staffed scale also pays a $30 transaction fee per load. Mattresses, box springs, metal appliances and Oregon E-Cycles electronics are free from residential customers.
Arrange it
Load the vehicle, cover the load, take it to 6161 NW 61st Ave. in Portland during public hours, and pay at the scale.
Vehicles and anything with a drive motor, asbestos containing material, burned material and wildfire ash, flat or built up roofing, loads of liquids, petroleum contaminated soil, radioactive metals and electric vehicle batteries are refused.
A household with a television, monitor, computer, laptop or printer, which includes the items a garbage route will not take.
Cost & conditions
No charge. Oregon E-Cycles is free: participating collection sites take seven or fewer computers, monitors, televisions and printers at a time, and keyboards and mice are free as well. Other types of electronics are not included in the program.
Arrange it
Find the nearest participating site on the state locator or by calling 888-769-0149, then deliver the equipment during that site's hours.
The programme covers computers, monitors, televisions, printers and computer peripherals only, and a site may have its own hours and acceptance details, so call before a trip.
A household with a kitchen remodel, roof replacement or landscape clean up that will produce more debris than a pickup or a single vehicle trip.
Cost & conditions
Drop box pricing is set by the collection company rather than published in the county rate sheet, so ask the company that serves your address for the container size, the delivery charge and the disposal rate before the box is dropped.
Arrange it
Call your garbage and recycling company and order a drop box in the size the project needs, then have the load taken away when the box is full.
The box is placed on private property, the company sets the sizes and the terms, and construction and demolition debris is not part of the bulky item pickup list.
Self-hauling from Rockcreek means a trip to a transfer station. Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave. in Portland is open to the general public from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and closes only on the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's days. Garbage is charged from a minimum upward and by the ton beyond 240 pounds, separated clean wood and clean yard debris cost less than mixed debris, coolant appliances and tires carry their own per item fees, and a public customer at the staffed scale pays a transaction fee per load.

Tires, mattresses, televisions and appliances are also on the collection company's bulky item list if you would rather not drive, and the county lists other transfer centres on the west side plus a drop-off finder tool for anything unusual.

How does a bulky item pickup work in Rockcreek?+
You book it with your garbage and recycling company rather than the county, the bulky item day may differ from your normal collection day, and the charge is a flat pick-up fee plus a rate for each item based on its size and material. The item list runs from a small item through a large or extra large item to an appliance, and it includes mattresses, appliances, tires and televisions.Official guidance
Can I get rid of a mattress in Rockcreek without paying?+
Yes, if you can carry it. A Metro transfer station takes mattresses and box springs at no charge from residential customers, up to four per customer per day, while the collection company route bills the mattress by size as a bulky item on top of its flat pick-up fee. A king set is the extra large rate and any other size is the large rate on that list.Official guidance
How is an appliance priced for pickup in Rockcreek?+
By whether it holds coolant. A stove, oven, washer, dryer, dishwasher or grill is a standard appliance item on the county bulky rate list, while a freezer, refrigerator, portable air conditioner, dehumidifier or water cooler is billed as a coolant containing appliance and costs more. Either way the flat pick-up fee is added, and most metal appliances are free to drop at a Metro transfer station.Official guidance
Is there a free way to recycle a television in Rockcreek?+
Yes. Oregon E-Cycles is a free state program, and participating collection sites take seven or fewer computers, monitors, televisions and printers at a time, plus keyboards and mice, whether the item is intact or broken. A Metro transfer station is an Oregon E-Cycles location with a seven item daily limit, while the collection company route bills a television as an electronics item on top of its pick-up fee.Official guidance
Who collects garbage in Rockcreek?+
Rockcreek is unincorporated Washington County, so there is no city sanitation department. Washington County assigns a certificated garbage and recycling company to each address, sets the rates that company may charge, and publishes the company and the collection day through its Garbage and Recycling Day tool. Questions about a bill go to the collection company, and questions about the rates go to Solid Waste & Recycling at 503-846-3605.Official guidance
Why is a bulky item pickup priced in two parts?+
The county rate sheet charges a flat pick-up fee for the visit plus a separate rate for each item, grouped by size and material type. The pick-up fee is the same whether one item or several go out, and any item that is not on the list is billed the standard pick-up fee plus a rate based on its size and material, which is why the company quotes those pieces individually.Official guidance
