It smells. It's noisy. It's kinda trashy. The view is terrible. Seriously, you do NOT want to eat the food here. What a friggin' dump.

Slack-jawed employees standing around who don't seem to know what's going on half the time. Does metro just hire any rando off the street and give them a radio and vest?

$35 minimum fee, so make sure you have a good-sized load before going. Also, the 2nd lane entering the station is for RFID trucks only, so unless you have a radio frequency identifier, stay in lane 1 with the rest of the small fry.
Pretty much anything. I believe it is around $26 for a metric ton. Free to drop off recycling items such a glass and cardboard. Tires are an additional fee , maybe $6 .
Refrigerators do not need to have the doors removed at metro south. They only require that there is no food inside. They charge $30 for a freon unit if it is by itself. If you bring trash with it, it goes by the weight of the load. ($28 for 360 lbs. $1 for ever 20 lbs over)
Dishwashers with a metal tub (on the back) are considered recycling which is free. Plastic tubs are considered garbage which goes by weight.
Trash, dirty wood and mixed loads are $28 for 380 Lbs. After that it is $1 per 20Lbs. Clean wood and yard debris is $19 for 380Lbs. After that it is $1 per 40Lbs.
I have a camper on my truck with a title thats not in my name, will they let me dump it ?
William Whiting III | Aug 16, 2018
Chris Purvis | Aug 16, 2018
Dump the camper? If it has any hazardous materials, you will not be able to dump it. If you are using it to haul stuff to throw away, they will let you in.
If you're rebuilding a steam locomotive, you'll want to get rid of the asbestos lagging. You don't want to mess with that stuff. Not sure exactly. You'll see where I'm going with this.
We do take sharps containers at the household hazardous waste facility located onsite at the transfer station. For individuals or households (not businesses), disposal is free.
Metro south can process payment on Visa, Mastercard and American Express. They can also do Apple pay, cash and checks. Personal checks require a ID that has a matching name and address.
Yes, we do take general trash at the Metro Transfer Stations. The most common trash that we cannot take is construction and remodeling debris that contains asbestos.
Hi Linda,
Metro South is open for all customers as of 1/18/22, but we are still asking people to delay their visits if they can. You can also call 503-234-3000 for more disposal options and operations updates.

Richard Sternberg | Aug 16, 2019
Bradlee Miller | Aug 16, 2019
Metro south can accept the metal stoves as recycling if the fuel is exhausted. The lamp will most likely be seen as garbage though. If they are uncomfortable with the items they will send you to the hazardous waste department to get it looked at. I would recommend calling their hotline to confirm this though.

Christopher Purvis | Aug 16, 2018
Sale? No, they dont sell recycled paint, they will however take it from you at the hazardous waste area (turn at the posted turn before you go up the hill to be weighed)
Not free, pull into the hazmat area (stay to the right), before going up the hill. They dont do the weigh in on hazmat stuff like they do the other trash.
bringing a couch and queen size bed and box spring how much would that cost?
TwokatzSam | Aug 16, 2018
Chris Purvis | Aug 16, 2018
That would be trash, if covered load, about $35. I believe that is the minimum charge (less than 500 pounds). Check the website, they may take the mattress for.free if they recycle it....maybe the sofa too? But again, if you are dumping anything not recyclable, there is the minimum entry fee....
