Where to take hazardous waste
Garbage and recycling › Guide to hazardous waste › Where to take hazardous waste
Bring unwanted hazardous household products such as pesticides, leftover paint, solvents and automotive fluids to one of Metro's hazardous waste facilities. We'll recycle them or dispose of them safely.
If you live outside Metro boundaries or if you have business-generated waste, call 503-234-3000 for options.
