Bag lightweight materials, including ashes and cat litter, before putting them in the can or cart. Doing so will prevent them from blowing away when collected.
Do not put household chemicals (e.g., paints, pesticides, herbicides) in the garbage. Call Metro at 503.244.3000 for information on proper disposal.
Do not use cans or carts different in size from those listed on our Can/Cart Guidelines page.
