That old couch's day has finally come.

Bulky Waste Day is tomorrow, Saturday, October 17.

This annual community event is a partnership between the City of Wilsonville and Republic Services, with donations benefiting Wilsonville Community Sharing. Wilsonville Rotary is also proud to be part of the effort, providing scheduled pickups for residents who are physically unable to transport their own bulky items.

Wilsonville residents can dispose of many hard-to-dispose-of items, including couches, mattresses, refrigerators, televisions, computers, appliances, scrap metal, tables and chairs. Proof of Wilsonville residency is required.

There is no disposal charge. Instead, please consider a donation to Wilsonville Community Sharing, which provides critical assistance to local families.
