The City and Republic Services are hosting the first of two 2023 Bulky Waste Day events on Saturday, May 6, 9 am-1 pm, at Republic Services (10295 SW Ridder Rd.) in Wilsonville.
Bulky Waste Day provides an opportunity for Wilsonville residents to dispose of large or unusual items that cannot be picked up curbside. Proof of Wilsonville residence is required.
There is no charge to dispose of waste. In lieu of charging a fee, the City is asking participants to donate new or unused gift cards from local merchants in small denominations ($5-20) to help Wilsonville Community Sharing provide critical assistance to local families in need.
Gift card donations are to be dropped upon entry, after which vehicles are weighed and guided to disposal bays. Participants should only bring items that can be removed from vehicles without staff assistance.
Bulky Waste Day accepts many items otherwise hard to dispose of, including dishwashers, televisions, refrigerators, computers, monitors, stoves, dryers, water heaters, couches, mattresses, scrap metal, tables and chairs, and clean, untreated wood. All fuel must be emptied from lawn-mowers and other gas-powered equipment.
The program does not accept construction debris of any type, propane bottles or canisters, paint, batteries, solvents, thinners, household garbage, car tires, or yard debris.
Note that arriving before 9 am does not result in early offloading, and can adversely impact Ridder Rd. traffic.
The City hosts Bulky Waste Day each spring and fall in collaboration with Republic Services, the local waste and recycling franchise. For more information contact Matt Baker, City Public Works Supervisor, at mbaker@ci.wilsonville.or.us, 503-570-1548.
