Riverside Recycling is a regional facility for the processing, recycling and/or disposal of construction and demolition debris, electronic waste, inert material, bulky waste and organic material such as leaf and yard waste. We are open to the general public and are ready to serve the disposal needs of businesses, contractors, municipal operations and individual residents.
The site is operated by CPRC Management and owned by the City of Portland. We seek to maximize the recycling or reuse of the materials we accept as we work to make the greater Portland area a sustainable community. During these uncertain times we are unable to physically assist you in unloading bulky/heavy items.

Pretty well organized transfer station with weigh station so you pay by weight to drop off your big trash. This was the cheapest way for me to get rid of an entire house worth of linoleum flooring and wall to wall carpeting! Convenient to most of the Portland area. They close kind of early (3:30 PM).

We've been here countless times and everyone is always super nice from the check in staff to the landscaping material loaders. It's crazy how fast they move people through. You'll get here with a line 15 cars deep, and you'll be up at the checkpoint within 5 minutes. I've never had a bad experience. Nice work peeps!

Twice now I've asked for a Job name and the two minutes it takes to walk in and out there's no job name on it. Now they want to write it in and here's the thing if the IRS audits me and I show them that scanned file , they could reject everyone that has been filled in by pen. The dump I love , the lack of discipline is what bothers me. I know it doesn't matter to you but are you going to pay for me if I get audited , nope didn't think so.
