Our drivers are on the job every weekday except Christmas and New Year’s Day. If your collection day falls on or after Christmas or New Years day, collection will be one day later that week with Friday customer serviced on Saturday.
Please make sure that the roll carts and bins for garbage, yard debris, and recycling are kept in good condition. After collection, please remove them from the street or curb. Avoid overfilling the roll carts; the lids must close properly, and contents should fall loosely when emptied.

Recently there were three potential battery fires in garbage and recycling trucks.
Luckily, all three were caught by drivers before they became too serious. The culprits: a power tool battery, an electric vacuum and another unidentified battery.
Never put batteries in the recycle or trash bin. Even small batteries in greeting cards or electric toothbrushes have the potential to cause major damage. Batteries can be recycled at drop-off locations or curbside if you have your own glass bin, and it’s *extremely important* to do it properly.
Please help keep your community and recycling workers safe by following these battery preparation steps:
1) Tape the ends of all batteries, except those that state “alkaline.”
2) Place taped and untaped batteries in a clear one-quart zip-sealed bag, and
3) Set out on top of the glass in your glass bin.
Never remove embedded or built-in rechargeable batteries. If a battery doesn’t come out easily, take the whole device to a drop-off facility. Search Metro’s Find a Recycler tool at https://www.oregonmetro.gov/tools-living… or call 503-234-3000 for recycling options.
Help keep everyone safe, recycle your batteries right:
