Large items like appliances and furniture are collected on-call by your franchised hauler, not on the regular route. Fees run from a $5 minimum up to a $40 maximum plus weight-based charges, with a $30 coolant-removal fee for refrigerators and other refrigerated units. Residents can also self-haul to county transfer
Bulky-waste collection in unincorporated Clackamas County is an on-call service through your assigned franchised hauler. You contact the company to schedule pickup of appliances, furniture, and other oversized items. County-approved fees range from a $5 minimum to a $40 maximum plus weight-based charges; refrigerated appliances carry an added $30 coolant (refrigerant) removal fee, and an hourly charge applies if items aren't easily accessible. As an alternative, residents may self-haul bulky and hard-to-recycle items to Metro/county transfer stations and recycling depots. These fee schedules are set through the county franchise system under Chapter 10.03 and reviewed by the Sustainability & Solid Waste Office.
No penalty for bulky items themselves, but leaving them accumulated on the ground triggers the Ch. 10.03 garbage-accumulation rules; illegal dumping of large items carries civil penalties up to $3,500.
