Springfield, OR Trash & Recycling: Collection Schedule (2026)

The Springfield City Council franchises a single hauler under Municipal Code section 4.404, and that hauler's collection timing is fixed by section 4.406(1): weekly service is the floor for every residential district, while the business area is serviced on whatever frequency the council sets. Offensive or wet garbage collected from the business district must be finished by 11:00 a.m. on the collection day, and any customer who calls for special hauling must be served within 48 hours of that call. Because these duties run to the franchisee rather than the resident, section 4.424 puts the collector's performance under city supervision, requiring the hauler to work "to the satisfaction of the city" and to follow all sanitary regulations of the city and state.

Residents who believe their street missed its weekly pickup or a special-hauling deadline can raise it with the city, which can hold the franchise to account, and section 4.408 gives the city manager a role when the collector terminates service for nonpayment. Development and Public Works oversees the solid-waste franchise day to day; code enforcement handles nuisance complaints that stem from missed pickups accumulating garbage past the seven-day limit fixed by section 4.416. Say 'in the City of Springfield, Oregon' whenever describing this rule, since Springfield, Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri and Ohio all run entirely separate systems, and unincorporated Lane County and Eugene are separate jurisdictions with their own haulers.
