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 couch, dresser or other bulky household piece is collected at the published per item rate, either on the regular garbage truck or by special collection.
City cost & eligibility
From $15.53 for the published rate for a bulky item other than an appliance collected by the regular garbage truck, with a special collection of the first item at $26.93, each additional item at $10.36 and a two person special collection at $62.13, plus the Metropolitan tip fee at market price. City of Troutdale residential accounts served by WM under the city franchise agreement, with the rate set by the city resolution effective October 1, 2025.
When & how
Set the piece out for the weekly collection day, or call WM customer service on 800-808-5901 to arrange a special collection when the piece needs a second worker or a different truck.
Get it ready
Keep the piece clear of the carts, the sidewalk and the driveway, and tell WM what it is when a special collection is arranged so the right crew and truck are sent.
A mattress or box spring is a bulky item priced per piece at the curb, and up to four a day can be dropped off free at Metro Central for recycling.
City cost & eligibility
From $15.53 for the published rate for a bulky item other than an appliance collected by the regular garbage truck, with a special collection of the first item at $26.93 and each additional item at $10.36, plus the Metropolitan tip fee at market price. City of Troutdale residential accounts served by WM under the city franchise agreement for the curbside rate, or any household for the free Metro Central drop-off within the daily limit.
When & how
Set the piece out for the weekly collection day, or drive it to Metro Central during public hours where up to four mattresses or box springs a customer a day are accepted free.
Get it ready
A mattress and its box spring count as two pieces, so ask WM how the pair will be priced before setting them out. Metro Central does not take car beds, fold out sofa beds, futons, crib mattresses, waterbeds or air mattresses as free mattress recycling.
Appliances are bulky items with their own published rates, and an appliance that contains refrigerant costs more because of the refrigerant and the tip fee.
City cost & eligibility
From $15.53 for the published rate for an appliance without refrigerant collected by the regular garbage truck, with an appliance containing refrigerant at $25.89, a special collection of the first item at $26.93, each additional item at $10.36 and a two person special collection at $62.13, plus the Metropolitan tip fee at market price on refrigerated units. City of Troutdale residential accounts served by WM under the city franchise agreement, with the rate set by the city resolution effective October 1, 2025.
When & how
Set the appliance out for the collection day, or call WM customer service to book a special collection for anything heavy or awkward.
Get it ready
Say whether the unit contains refrigerant when the pickup is arranged, because refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners and dehumidifiers are priced and handled differently and carry the tip fee. Metro Central takes metal appliances such as stoves, water heaters, microwaves, dishwashers, washers and dryers free, and charges for coolant appliances.
Covered electronics are free to recycle at Metro Central, which is an Oregon E-Cycles location, and a console television can also go out as a bulky item with the hauler.
City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to households at Metro Central under the state E-Cycles programme, limited to seven items per day per person. The hauler route for a console television is charged at the city bulky item rates instead.
When & how
Take the device to Metro Central at 6161 NW 61st Ave in Portland during public hours, or ask WM customer service whether the piece can be collected at the curb as a bulky item.
Get it ready
The covered items at Metro Central are desktop and laptop computers, printers, televisions, monitors, tablets, keyboards and computer mice, and they can arrive intact or broken. These devices have their own state recycling programme, so they do not belong in the garbage or recycling carts.
Anything that does not fit in a cart with the lid closed is a bulky item, priced per piece, with a special arrangement when the piece needs more labour.
City cost & eligibility
From $15.53 for the published rate for a bulky item other than an appliance collected by the regular garbage truck, with a special collection of the first item at $26.93, each additional item at $10.36 and a two person special collection at $62.13, plus the Metropolitan tip fee at market price. City of Troutdale residential accounts served by WM under the city franchise agreement.
When & how
Put the item out for the weekly collection day, or call WM to arrange the special collection when it needs extra hands or a different truck.
Get it ready
Extra bags or cans that do not fit in the cart with the lid closed are charged per occurrence, so ask about that rate when a cleanout produces more than the cart holds and consider a larger cart instead.
Single family homes have garbage and recycling collected every Thursday, with yard debris on the same weekly service under the basic monthly charge. Containers go to the street by 6 a.m., three feet apart with the lids opening toward the street and at least three feet from cars, trees and mailboxes.
Garbage, recycling and yard debris are collected on all holidays except Christmas Day and New Year's Day. When the collection day falls on or after one of those two holidays, service is one day later that week, with Friday customers served on Saturday.
Anything that does not fit in a cart with the lid closed is a bulky item with its own published rate, and the hauler decides whether it is collected on the regular truck or needs a special collection. Mattresses, appliances, console televisions, furniture and building materials are the examples the hauler names.
Paint, solvents, cleaners, pesticides, batteries and sharps never belong in the trash. Household hazardous waste is free at the Metro Central site at 6161 NW 61st Ave, open Monday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and at the community collection events Metro holds on Saturdays in spring and fall.
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.

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?+
