Residents self-haul bulky items to a Lane County transfer station and pay per-item or per-load fees. Rural transfer stations (excluding Glenwood) cap garbage drop-offs at 10 cubic yards per day, per customer. Appliances, tires, and mattresses have set recycling fees.
Lane County's self-haul system handles bulky waste at its transfer stations. There is a 10-cubic-yard limit on garbage drop-offs per day, per customer, at all rural sites, excluding the Glenwood facility, which handles larger loads. Common bulky-item fees include appliance recycling around $22 per unit, tire recycling from $5 (up to 20-inch rims), and propane-tank recycling around $5; mattress recycling is free at Glenwood only. Fees are set annually in the county solid-waste fee schedule. Illegal roadside dumping of bulky items such as furniture, appliances, or mattresses is a Class A violation, so residents are directed to haul large items to a station rather than abandon them.
Dumping bulky items on public or private land instead of a transfer station is illegal dumping, a Class A violation under ORS Chapter 153 with escalating fines.
