Discard Bulky Waste on Oct. 26

October 3, 2019 — The City’s popular Bulky Waste Day takes place on Saturday, October 26, 9 am-1 pm, at Republic Services, 10295 SW Ridder Rd. in Wilsonville.

Each spring and fall, the City hosts Bulky Waste Day in partnership with Metro and Republic Services, the City’s franchised waste/recycling hauler, to provide an opportunity for Wilsonville residents to dispose of large or unusual items that cannot be picked up curbside. Participants must provide proof of residence.

There is no charge to dispose of items. Organizers do request that participants donate hygiene items – including soap, shampoo, laundry soap, deodorant, paper towels, etc. – to help Wilsonville Community Sharing’s Food Bank provide critical assistance to local families in need.

Bulky Waste Day accepts many items otherwise hard to dispose of, including dishwashers, televisions, refrigerators, computers, monitors, stoves, dryers, water heaters, couches, mattresses, scrap metal, tables and chairs, and clean, untreated wood.

The program does not accept construction debris of any type, propane bottles or canisters, paint, batteries, solvents, thinners, household garbage or car tires.

Last year, the City and Republic Services entered into a new franchise agreement for garbage and recycling services. The agreement added a second Bulky Waste Day event annually, increasing the community benefit.
