Lane County uses a self-haul system, not mandatory countywide curbside pickup. Residents in unincorporated areas either subscribe to a private franchised hauler or haul waste themselves to one of the county transfer stations. Putrescible waste cannot be stored on-site over seven days.
Lane County Waste Management operates a network of about 15 transfer stations for self-haul garbage and recycling rather than running countywide curbside collection. Where a city or franchised service provider operates within an Urban Growth Boundary, Lane Code 9.005.005C directs those haulers to follow the collection, hauling, and recycling rules adopted by that city. On private property, LC 9.010.040B caps on-site storage of putrescible solid waste at seven days, so residents without curbside service must haul to a transfer station regularly. Illegal on-property burial or dumping of refuse is separately prohibited. Check the WasteWise Lane County app for station hours and accepted materials.
Storing putrescible waste beyond seven days, or disposing of it anywhere but an approved site, is a nuisance and a Class A violation for illegal dumping under ORS Chapter 153.
