Open Top Drop Box Materials

Drop box loads can be “generalized” into three categories. 1. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) or “wet” garbage 2. Construction and Demolition (C&D) 3. Clean Recyclables

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)

Loads are uncommon, but necessary from time to time. These loads can have the highest cost of disposal. These loads consists of wet garbage (food waste) or materials that have come into contact with wet garbage and are considered non-recyclable.

Construction and Demolition (C&D)

Loads are the most common. These loads generally consist of wood, metals, concrete, roofing materials and general construction materials. These loads are subject to additional charges if they are contaminated with prohibited materials. See "Prohibited Items" below for a list of prohibited materials.

Clean Recyclables

Are loads containing "clean" products such as scrap wood (free of hangers/nails), yard debris and concrete without rebar. If these loads are kept "clean" they can be the lowest cost of disposal.

Prohibited Items For "C&D" And "Clean Recyclable" Loads

No tires, food waste, diapers, human or animal waste, paints, thinners, wood stains, solvents, caustic ammunition, explosives, batteries, pesticides or any other toxic or hazardous substance (containers or contents). NO COMPUTERS, MONITORS or TVs. As of January 1, 2010, Oregon law prohibits the disposal of computers, monitors and TVs in the garbage or at disposal sites such as landfills, transfer stations and incinerators.
