How to dispose of event waste

Information
Find drop-off locations for event recycling and waste materials or hire a garbage hauler to pick-up from the event site.

Bring your event garbage and recycling home

Consider the size of your event. Most smaller events can 'self-haul' back to your home and use your garbage, recycling and compost carts.

Drop-off at a recycling station

You can haul the event’s recycling and garbage to be disposed of for a fee. Visit Metro's website or call Metro at (503) 234-3000 for drop-off locations and costs.

Hire a garbage hauler

You can hire a garbage hauler that will provide containers and hauling. Consider getting multiple bids from a few of Portland's permitted garbage, recycling, and compost collection companies.
