Dumpster Rental in Portland, OR

Self Hauling You Waste

Portland can be a great place to work on your next project. When you do get an Easy Dumpster Rental, you get the perfect size bin for your next project with the guaranteed best service.

When you get your dumpster, it is a good idea to keep in mind places to bring your waste yourself. It may be counterintuitive to self-haul you waste, but self hauling can be an advantage. For example, you may wish to separate your recycling from the rest of your debris to keep extra space in your bin and to ensure that those recyclable items do not accidentally find their way to a landfill.

Metro Central Transfer Station

Additionally, if you have any hazardous items, you cannot place these items in your dumpster or in your trash by law. In these cases, Easy Dumpster Rental helps you to find the necessary resources to complete your project easily. One excellent resource is the Metro Central transfer station at:

• 6161 NW 61st Ave, Portland, OR 97210.
• Phone: (503) 234-3000.
• Monday to Sunday 8 am to 7 pm.
• The transfer station will accept regular waste, recycling, and hazardous waste.

Additionally, self-hauling can be a great option if you have a single-use dumpster bin. Single-use bins cost less because there is no cost for sorting your refuge after we take your bin. If you are working on a construction project or landscaping project, or some other single-use, customers can save by specifying their waste. If you then find you have some extra waste that does not conform to the bin, the transfer station can be a great option for your project.

Cleaning Up the Environment Portland

The City of Portland’s commitment to environmental stewardship is evident in its efforts to address pollution and promote the cleanup of brownfield sites. Brownfield sites, which are properties where expansion, redevelopment, or reuse may have resulted in the presence of pollutants or hazardous substances, pose environmental and health risks to the community. To address these challenges, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers Brownfields and Land Revitalization grants, which are administered in collaboration with local authorities like the City of Portland.

If you’re interested in applying for a Brownfields and Land Revitalization Grant in Portland, you must meet certain criteria:

• Acquisition after contamination: You must have acquired the property after it became contaminated, and you cannot be the party responsible for the contamination. This criterion ensures that funding is allocated to projects aimed at cleaning up existing environmental damage.
• Demonstration of financial need: You and your project must demonstrate a financial need for funding. This requirement ensures that limited grant funds are allocated to projects where they will have the most significant impact in promoting environmental cleanup and revitalization.
• Community benefit: Your project must provide a community benefit, which can include the development of new jobs, the creation of goods or services, the reduction of health hazards, or the revitalization of a formerly used site. This criterion ensures that funded projects contribute positively to the community’s well-being and economic development.

For more information about the Portland Brownfield Program and the Brownfields and Land Revitalization Grant application process, you can contact the program office located at 1120 SW 5th Avenue, Room 1000, in Portland. They can provide guidance and assistance in navigating the grant application process and accessing resources for brownfield cleanup and revitalization projects.
