Recology Portland manages Metro South and Metro Central Transfer Stations, two public facilities owned by Metro, the regional government for the greater Portland area. Commercial collection companies and residents dispose of business and household waste at these facilities. This is the last chance to recycle waste before it’s sent to landfills.
Please also visit Portland’s Metro South website for detailed disposal and rate information.

It is illegal to put household hazardous waste in the trash or recycling carts. When hazardous wastes end up in a landfill, they can cause serious threats to humans, wildlife and the environment. Please drop off these items at this facility for safe disposal.

Our transfer stations serve as public drop-off locations for materials to be hauled and processed at nearby compost or recycling facilities.

Please see the accepted items list or check with us before visiting to ensure acceptance of certain wastes.
