Community Resources

Welcome to our Portland disposal resources hub. At Junk Hubris, we believe everyone deserves access to good information about recycling, donation, and disposal options—even if you’re not hiring us. As a result, we’ve created these comprehensive guides to help Portland Metro residents handle their stuff responsibly.

These guides cover everything from free mattress recycling to hazardous waste drop-off locations. We use these same resources every day in our junk removal work, so you can trust that the information is accurate and up-to-date.

Of course, if you’d rather have someone else handle the heavy lifting, sorting, and hauling—we’re always just a phone call away.

Why We Created These Guides

At Junk Hubris, we’re in the business of junk removal—but we’re also part of this community. We know that not every job requires a professional, and sometimes people just need good information to handle things themselves.

These guides represent everything we’ve learned from years of hauling, recycling, and donating items throughout Portland Metro. We visit transfer stations, scrap yards, and donation centers every week. We know which charities accept what, where to get the best scrap prices, and how to navigate the recycling system efficiently.

By sharing this knowledge, we hope to help more items find their way to recycling and donation instead of the landfill. That’s good for the environment, good for the community, and honestly—it’s just the right thing to do.

🌲

Eco-Friendly Focus

We prioritize recycling and donation over landfill disposal—typically diverting 70% of what we haul.

We’re based in Gresham and serve the entire Portland Metro area. These guides reflect real local experience.
