GARBAGE COLLECTION GUIDELINES
- Bag lightweight materials, including ashes and cat litter, before putting them in the can or cart. Doing so will prevent them from blowing away when collected.
- Do not put household chemicals (e.g., paints, pesticides, herbicides) in the garbage. Call Metro at 503-234-3000 for information on proper disposal.
- Your can or cart must not exceed the above weight limits
RECYCLING
RECYCLING COLLECTION GUIDELINES
- Rockwood Solid Waste will provide you with one Curby recycling bin for glass only and a blue recycling cart for all other recycling materials. Please place your extra curby bin out on your collection day for us to pick-up.
- Please use your Curby bin for your recycling glass only. Make sure to set it out only when full, as it is a signal to us that you have recyclables to be picked up.
- Prepare and sort your recyclables according to the instructions on the lid of you’re recycling cart. We will not collect recyclables that are contaminated with other materials or garbage .
- Glass must be set in the provided curby near the recycle cart on curb.
- Motor oil must be put in a transparent jug (milk jug) and set near the recycle cart on curb.
