Garbage
Show All Answers
1.
What happens to my garbage?
Garbage in Beaverton is picked up and typically taken by your hauler to a transfer station. The majority of Beaverton’s trash goes to the
Forest Grove Transfer Station
. The garbage is then transferred to trucks that haul the garbage to a landfill (either near McMinnville or in eastern Oregon near Arlington).
2.
I do not need 32-gallon garbage service every week. Is there another option?
Yes, if you currently receive more service than you feel is necessary, you may want to consider reducing your service to a 20-gallon cart, but it is still collected on a weekly basis. You could also subscribe to Will Call service. This service offers the collection of garbage, yard debris, and recycling on an on-call basis. Call your hauler for more information or review
Beaverton’s residential rates and services
.
3.
Why do we have a franchised collection system?
The franchised system exists to ensure the health and sanitation of residents. Approved haulers are assigned geographic territories within the City. This ensures a universal high level of service and reduces the number of trucks servicing one street. The franchise system results in:
Fewer noise disturbances to residents
Less traffic congestion
Reduced roadway wear and tear
Fewer greenhouse gas emissions and diesel air-particulates
4.

The nearest options include (this is not an all-inclusive list):
Hillsboro Landfill
, 3205 SE Minter Bridge Road, 503-640-9427 - Accepts dry waste materials (generally yard debris, construction and demolition debris, and other household items but not including household garbage/kitchen type wastes or hazardous waste). Call for information.
