The short,obese, clipped grey haired lady direction traffic around noon today 8/3/22 is very rude and unhelpful. Her attitude was not appropriate and when asked for her name nobody would give it and she kept her back to us so we couldn't see it. First and last time here. The other lady was nice and tried to defuse the situation but with the female version of the penguin laughing it just made it worse.

Great customer service with nice attitudes and smiles. Easy to talk to about various things in your haul. There’s no need to live in squalor, just dump it right with a smile.

What is the rules for used sheetrock?

Construction material prior to 2003 requires asbestos testing. I had it tested at Labcor Portland. It's $40 per 1"x1" sample with a 5 business day turn time, or you can pay more if you want it faster. If it is asbestos free, print out the paperwork they email you after testing and bring it with you to the transfer station. I'm not sure what you do if it tests positive.

Is it really $40 to dump a small load of random garbage? No wonder Portland is looking so trashy.

Do they take toilets ???

pravin patel | Aug 16, 2021
Eric Nelson | Aug 16, 2021

I'm pretty sure they do. There's a minimum fee per carload though, so it would be best to take more junk at the same time if you have any.

How much does it cost to take a boat to the metro landfill.

Larry Arnold | Aug 16, 2021
Richard W. Rasch | Aug 16, 2021

That really depends on the size. The 25' Bayliner ran 350.00. you have to make sure all fluids have been drained. But that is the biggest they take for weight charge. Anything over that is $65.00 a foot to salvage.

Is this an approved site for medical sharps disposal?
