Notes
At the Metro Central transfer station. The page says household hazardous waste facilities cannot accept business waste without an application and appointment. Metro also held neighborhood collection events in greater Portland; the 2026 series wrapped up November 7, 2026, so no event listings were added. Transport-preparation tips on the page were not copied as disposal advice.
