How to sign up for the Conditionally Exempt Generator (CEG) program and how to prepare and transport your business hazardous waste.

If you think you qualify as a conditionally exempt generator and you have wastes you would like to dispose of through Metro’s CEG program, follow these steps to register:

Complete these forms:

a) CEG application and waste inventory form... Download below

b) Credit application, optional... Download below

The application and detailed description of your hazardous waste inventory will help determine if Metro can accept your waste and what the disposal cost will be.

Return the completed CEG application and waste inventory form to:

Metro Central Hazardous Waste Facility
CEG Program
6161 NW 61st Ave.
Portland, OR 97210
Fax: 223-8020
or
Metro South Hazardous Waste Facility
CEG Program

Fax: 655-2699

If you are applying for credit, send the form to:

Credit Manager
Accounting Services
Metro
600 NE Grand Ave.

You must complete a credit application and return it to Metro at least 15 days before your disposal appointment. If you have not been approved as a credit customer, the full disposal fee must be paid when waste is accepted at the facility. Metro accepts checks with check guarantee cards, VISA or MasterCard.

A Metro CEG representative will review your application, estimate the total fee based on your waste inventory and call you to schedule a disposal appointment.

For more information, call a CEG representative at 503-223-8133 (Metro Central Station) or 503-655-0480 (Metro South Station).

Procedures for preparing, transporting and unloading your hazardous waste

Completing the waste inventory and preparing for transport

Please ensure that all containers are sealed and in good shape. Place any leaking containers in a second container before transporting. Do not mix wastes together. If you have questions about the regulations governing transportation of hazardous materials, call the Oregon Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials Section at 503-378-3667.

Transporting your waste

On the day of your scheduled appointment, bring your waste to one of Metro’s two hazardous waste facilities: Metro Central Station, 6161 NW 61st Ave., in Portland’s Northwest industrial district or Metro South Station, 2001 Washington St., just off I-205 in Oregon City.

Unloading your waste

After you pull into the hazardous waste facility, Metro employees will unload your vehicle and verify your load with the waste inventory form you submitted.
