City collection The county does not name furniture, and the mattress events expressly refuse sofas, pullout couches and furniture, so the piece has to be confirmed with the provider or the transfer station. No furniture category or price is published, so confirm whether the piece goes with the franchised collection or on a self-haul load and what it costs by calling the provider or the transfer station on 503-397-9811.
City collection Mattresses and box springs are recycled free at four Mattress Recycling Council events a year at the transfer station, limited to five units per resident. No charge. Free at the Mattress Recycling Council events at the Columbia County Transfer Station, 1601 Railroad Ave., St. Helens, with a maximum of five units per Columbia County resident.
City collection Refrigerant appliances are priced at the transfer station, while other appliances are not separately named, so the route has to be confirmed. $26.3 each refrigerant appliance at the Columbia County Transfer Station, covering refrigerators, freezers and air conditioning units. Columbia County Transfer Station, 1601 Railroad Ave., St. Helens, open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Sundays. No separate price is published for a non-refrigerant appliance, so confirm that with the provider or the station on 503-397-9811.
City collection Columbia County administers franchise agreements for garbage and recycling collection and names two providers, Hudson Garbage doing business as Waste Connections and WM. No monthly residential rate is published, and the franchise areas are drawn on a map, so confirm the provider for the address and the current charge with that company or with the county solid waste office.
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?
Scappoose publishes nothing about garbage on its own site, so the working authority for this city is Columbia County, which administers the franchise agreements for collection in unincorporated areas and runs the transfer station and recycling drop-offs that serve the city as well. The county names two franchisee haulers, Hudson Garbage doing business as Waste Connections and WM, and publishes a residential map so a household can identify its provider. The Columbia County Transfer Station in St. Helens is the disposal point: it charges a self-haul rate by weight, yard debris on its own rate, twenty six dollars and thirty cents for a refrigerant appliance, tire fees by whether the tire is on or off a rim, free paint and used motor oil for residents, and it takes mattresses free at four Mattress Recycling Council events through the year with a five unit limit. Electronics are free at drop-off locations including the Goodwill in Scappoose, and Oregon law makes it illegal to put e-waste in the trash.
Franchised collection and how to find the provider
Accepted with preparation
Columbia County administers franchise agreements for garbage and recycling collection and names two providers, Hudson Garbage doing business as Waste Connections and WM.
City cost & eligibility
No monthly residential rate is published, and the franchise areas are drawn on a map, so confirm the provider for the address and the current charge with that company or with the county solid waste office.
When & how
The provider sets the collection day for the address, and questions about residential or commercial collection go to the service provider listed by the county.
Get it ready
Use the county's residential garbage and recycling map to identify the provider for the address, or the drop box map for a project that needs a container larger than 10 yards, and call the provider to start service or report a problem. Hudson Garbage's office is open Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. except major holidays.
A large load can be taken to the Columbia County Transfer Station in St. Helens, which charges a self-haul rate by weight with a senior discount.
City cost & eligibility
From $28.35 for the minimum self-haul rate up to 320 pounds, with a senior rate of $17.45 for the same weight and $172.35 a ton over 320 pounds. Columbia County Transfer Station, 1601 Railroad Ave., St. Helens, OR 97051, open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Sundays. An unsecured load is charged an extra $19.00 and all transactions are rounded to the nearest five cents.
When & how
Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Sundays, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and possibly closing at or after 1 p.m. on Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
Get it ready
Secure the load before the trip, because an unsecured load fee applies, and sort recyclable material out first because the free recycling drop-offs and the recycling rates at the scale can save money. A project that needs a container larger than 10 yards goes through the drop box franchise map instead of a loose load.
Mattresses and box springs are recycled free at four Mattress Recycling Council events a year at the transfer station, limited to five units per resident.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the Mattress Recycling Council events at the Columbia County Transfer Station, 1601 Railroad Ave., St. Helens, with a maximum of five units per Columbia County resident.
When & how
The published event dates are March 14, June 13, September 12 and November 14, from 8 a.m. to noon, at the Columbia County Transfer Station.
Get it ready
Bring mattresses including foam mattresses, and box springs that are stationary or adjustable, in any size or condition, and keep to five units per resident. Toppers and pads, air mattresses, crib mattresses, waterbeds, futons, sofas, pullout couches and furniture are not accepted, so those follow a different route.
The county does not name furniture, and the mattress events expressly refuse sofas, pullout couches and furniture, so the piece has to be confirmed with the provider or the transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
No furniture category or price is published, so confirm whether the piece goes with the franchised collection or on a self-haul load and what it costs by calling the provider or the transfer station on 503-397-9811.
When & how
Confirm the route first, then either set the piece out with the franchised collection or take it to the transfer station during its open hours.
Get it ready
Keep the piece off the mattress event load, because sofas, pullout couches and furniture are on that event's refusal list, and ask the provider whether the piece counts as a bulky item on the regular collection.
Refrigerant appliances are priced at the transfer station, while other appliances are not separately named, so the route has to be confirmed.
City cost & eligibility
$26.3 each refrigerant appliance at the Columbia County Transfer Station, covering refrigerators, freezers and air conditioning units. Columbia County Transfer Station, 1601 Railroad Ave., St. Helens, open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Sundays. No separate price is published for a non-refrigerant appliance, so confirm that with the provider or the station on 503-397-9811.
When & how
Self-haul the unit to the transfer station on an open day, or ask the franchised provider whether it collects appliances from the curb.
Get it ready
Empty the unit and secure the doors, and expect a separate handling charge if a tank has to be emptied or freon removed beyond the listed fee. Keep the appliance off the mattress event load and out of the curbside recycling.
Electronics such as televisions, monitors, computers and printers are free at select drop-off locations, and Oregon law bans e-waste from the trash.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the county's listed drop-off locations, including the Columbia County Transfer Station and the Goodwill in Scappoose. Oregon law makes it illegal to dispose of electronic waste in the trash.
When & how
The Columbia County Transfer Station takes them Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the Goodwill in Scappoose at 51651 SE Second Street is open Monday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Get it ready
Erase data before recycling, and consider reusing, repairing or donating the device first, because the county asks residents to do that before dropping electronics off. Televisions, monitors, desktops, laptops, tablets, printers, keyboards and mice are the named categories.
Construction material is not a separate category, so it moves as a self-haul load at the transfer station rates or through a franchised drop box, with the county's asbestos guidance applying.
City cost & eligibility
The county publishes self-haul and franchise tipping rates by weight rather than a construction category, and the franchise agreement tipping fee is set per ton, so confirm the load and the charge with the provider or the transfer station on 503-397-9811.
When & how
Take the load to the transfer station on an open day, or arrange a franchised drop box through the county's drop box map for a container larger than 10 yards.
Get it ready
Secure the load to avoid the unsecured load fee, keep the material separate from yard debris so it is not charged at the wrong rate, and read the county's asbestos page before moving demolition or remodel material, because asbestos handling is a separate requirement.
Exercise equipment is not named anywhere in the county material, so the machine has to be confirmed with the provider or the transfer station.
City cost & eligibility
No exercise equipment category or price is published, so call the franchised provider for the address or the transfer station on 503-397-9811 and confirm whether the machine is collected or charged as a self-haul load by weight.
When & how
Confirm first, then use the franchised collection or take the machine to the transfer station on an open day.
Get it ready
Take the machine down where it allows and keep the loose weights with it, and remove any battery pack so it can be handled separately. Keep the machine off the mattress event load, which refuses furniture, and out of the recycling drop-offs.
Free recycling drop-offs sit in St. Helens, Clatskanie, Rainier and Vernonia, and the transfer station's recycling table prices the less common materials.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free at the county's recycling drop-offs in St. Helens, Clatskanie, Rainier and Vernonia. Paint is free for residents in containers of 5 gallons or less up to 10 gallons a day, medical sharps are free in certified containers with containers supplied at no cost to county residents at the scale house, and used motor oil is free for residents up to 5 gallons a day.
When & how
Use the drop-offs at their own posted hours, or bring the material to the transfer station Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Get it ready
Keep antifreeze in a leak-proof container and expect the published per gallon charge, expect a per item charge for lead acid batteries and a per foot charge for fluorescent tubes, drain and bag used oil filters with the oil, and return paint within the container and daily limits. Those three recyclable items are free during the county's household hazardous waste collection events.
The transfer station prices tires by vehicle class and by whether the tire is still on the rim.
City cost & eligibility
From $5.2 each passenger car tire off the rim, with $10.50 on the rim, $15.70 off the rim and $26.20 on the rim for semi or tractor tires, and bicycle, motorcycle and solid core tires charged at the garbage rate. Columbia County Transfer Station, 1601 Railroad Ave., St. Helens, open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Sundays.
When & how
Take the tires to the transfer station on an open day.
Get it ready
Decide whether to remove the rims first, because a tire on a rim costs about twice the off-rim rate, and note that bicycle, motorcycle and solid core tires are not on the tire table at all and are charged at the garbage rate instead.
Yard debris is charged on its own rate at the transfer station, separate from garbage.
City cost & eligibility
From $28.35 for the minimum yard debris rate up to 860 pounds, with $67.65 a ton over 860 pounds. Columbia County Transfer Station, 1601 Railroad Ave., St. Helens, open Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed Sundays.
When & how
Bring the material to the transfer station on an open day.
Get it ready
Keep yard debris in its own load rather than mixed with household garbage, because the two carry different rates and a mixed load is priced as waste.
The county runs household hazardous waste collection events, and several of the materials that carry a fee at the transfer station are free during them.
City cost & eligibility
The county names household hazardous waste collection events through the transfer station without printing a residential fee, so confirm the event dates and any charge with the county or on 503-397-9811 before the trip.
When & how
Hold the material for one of the county's household hazardous waste collection events, which the transfer station page links to directly.
Get it ready
Keep antifreeze, batteries, fluorescent tubes, paint and other hazardous products out of the garbage, and note that the antifreeze, lead acid battery and fluorescent tube items that carry a fee at the scale are accepted free during the collection events, with up to 25 gallons of paint accepted there as well. Medical sharps are free at the transfer station in certified containers.
Find the franchised provider for the address first
Columbia County administers the franchise agreements for garbage and recycling collection and names two providers, Hudson Garbage doing business as Waste Connections and WM. Use the county's residential garbage and recycling map to identify the provider for the address, then call that company to start service, ask about the collection day or report a problem, and use the drop box map if a project needs a container larger than 10 yards.
The transfer station prices by weight and by material
The Columbia County Transfer Station at 1601 Railroad Ave. in St. Helens opens Monday through Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is closed Sundays, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, and it may close at or after 1 p.m. on Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Self-haul waste is charged by weight with a minimum up to 320 pounds and a senior rate, yard debris has its own lower rate, an unsecured load is charged extra, and the recycling table prices antifreeze, lead acid batteries, fluorescent tubes, refrigerant appliances, tires and oil filters while paint, sharps and used motor oil are free for residents within the published limits.
Mattresses go to the free recycling events, not the garbage
The Mattress Recycling Council runs free mattress recycling at the Columbia County Transfer Station on March 14, June 13, September 12 and November 14 from 8 a.m. to noon. Mattresses including foam, and box springs that are stationary or adjustable, are accepted in any size or condition up to five units per county resident, and toppers, pads, air mattresses, crib mattresses, waterbeds, futons, sofas, pullout couches and furniture are refused, so those pieces need a different route.
Electronics are free to drop off, and the trash ban is real
Oregon law makes it illegal to put electronic waste in the trash, and televisions, monitors, desktops, laptops, tablets, printers, keyboards and mice can be dropped off free at select locations, including the Goodwill in Scappoose at 51651 SE Second Street, open Monday to Sunday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the Columbia County Transfer Station at 1601 Railroad Ave. in St. Helens, open Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The county asks residents to erase their data and to consider reusing, repairing or donating a device first.
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.
A Scappoose household with regular household waste and recycling to put out each week.
Cost & conditions
No monthly residential rate is published, so confirm the charge and the collection day with the provider serving the address.
Arrange it
Identify the provider on the county map, then call the company to start service or ask a collection question. Hudson Garbage is at 2115 Gable Rd. in St. Helens on 503-397-1534, and WM has its own county page.
The franchise covers unincorporated areas, and Scappoose is an incorporated city whose own site publishes nothing about garbage, so the provider for a city address has to be confirmed rather than assumed.

Self-haul to the Columbia County Transfer Station
A household with a mattress, an appliance, a mixed load, yard debris or tires to move itself.
