Does Happy Valley pick up appliances?

Happy Valley residents rely on Republic Services for regular collection, but bulk items require expensive special pickups or self-haul to distant transfer stations. Our $79 flat-rate service eliminates the hassle of scheduling, sorting, and multiple facility trips that Clackamas County's waste system requires.

City program details: Happy Valley Bulky Waste Collection. Frequency: 2-3 times per year. Wait: 2-4 weeks. Fees: $45 per pickup

Happy Valley contracts with Republic Services for standard waste collection, with bulky item pickups requiring advance scheduling and extra fees starting at $75 per item. The nearest disposal facilities include Metro South Transfer Station in Oregon City (12 miles, $25 minimum fee) and Clackamas Transfer Station (8 miles). Private haulers like Hoodview Disposal serve the area but typically charge $150-300 for bulk removal with 2-7 day wait times. Clackamas County requires special handling for mattresses, appliances, and electronics, with different facilities for each category.

What happens to your appliance after pickup

Appliances are recycled at licensed facilities that specialize in handling refrigerants, compressor oils, and heavy metals. Refrigerators and freezers undergo certified Freon recovery before processing — the $25 recycling fee covers this. Steel, copper, aluminum, and other metals are separated and sent to scrap processors. Compressors, motors, and wiring are individually processed. Appliances in working condition may be refurbished and resold or donated to organizations like Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

Why Happy Valley residents choose Dropcurb for appliance removal

Unlike Republic Services' advance-scheduled bulky pickup ($75+ per item), we offer same-day service for $79 total regardless of item count. No driving to Metro South Transfer Station in Oregon City with $25 fees plus gas and time. No sorting requirements like Clackamas County facilities demand—we take mixed loads in one pickup. Hoodview Disposal and other local haulers typically charge $150-300 with multi-day waits, while our service is same-day and $79 flat rate.
