Popular Clean-up Event Set For Saturday, June 14th

Your local garbage companies, the City of Milwaukie, Clackamas County and Metro are hosting Milwaukie’s popular clean-up event on Saturday, June 14th from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at two different sites.

Sites for collection will be the former Southgate Theater lot at 9600 SE Main St. and the Crosswhite Industrial Park at 64th and SE Johnson Creek Blvd.

Milwaukie residents, with their coupon in hand (look for the coupon in the June Pilot to cut out!) and proof of City residency by way of a water bill or drivers license, can bring one load to the event at no cost. The purpose of this event is to help residents get rid of “bulky” waste items--not household garbage or hazardous materials.

The following materials will be accepted: Appliances, scrap metal, tires (10 maximum), yard debris (under 6 feet in length and under 4 inches in diameter), old wood, furniture, mattresses, carpet, plumbing fixtures, windows, and other bulky discards. The following will NOT be accepted: hazardous materials, paint, kitchen garbage, liquids, animal waste, propane tanks, car batteries, drums, dirt, sod, stumps, rock, concrete, industrial waste, or commercial waste. Some items may not be appropriate and may be refused.

Curbside pick-up for disabled and senior residents will be available as in the past. To sign up for curbside pick up please call Beth Ragel at (503) 786-7568.
