If you’re renting, you can skip much of this section—Oregon law requires landlords to provide garbage and recycling collection—but if you’re buying a home you’ll need to arrange for trash pickup.
Oregon
Trash
Metro, the Portland area’s regional government, coordinates solid waste disposal and supports programs to increase recycling and reduce waste across the region. Local cities and counties franchise actual garbage pickup to a host of private companies. To find your garbage hauler, visit Metro’s “Find your garbage hauler” page at www.oregonmetro.gov/hauler or call 503-234-3000. Contact your hauler directly to set up garbage hauling service and to find out about available container sizes and monthly charges.
If you need to dispose of a large item—like that moldy, squirrel-infested sofa that the old owner of your new house “forgot” to take off the front porch—you can load it in your car, truck, or trailer, cover it with a tarp, and haul the thing to one of Metro’s transfer stations:
Metro Central Station, 6161 NW 61st Ave, Portland
Metro South Station, 2001 Washington St, Oregon City
