South Waterfront Garbage Collection Service - Local Family Owned
Last Tuesday morning, I watched our truck carefully maneuver down SW Moody Avenue, just like we’ve done thousands of times over the past three decades. The driver waved to Mrs. Chen in the John Ross Tower – she’s been our customer since the building opened. That simple moment captures everything about what makes Metro Junk Solutions different in South Waterfront.
Three decades ago, my family started this garbage collection business right here in the South Waterfront area. Back then, this neighborhood looked completely different – before the sleek condos and the aerial tram that now connects us to OHSU. I remember when the riverfront was mostly industrial, and we were one of the few services willing to navigate those narrow streets to provide waste collection for the handful of businesses that called this area home.
Today, South Waterfront has transformed into one of Portland’s most dynamic neighborhoods, and we’ve grown alongside it. From the high-rise residents at The Mirabella to the busy offices near the Portland Streetcar line, our family has been providing trash service and comprehensive waste management solutions through every phase of this community’s evolution.
What started as a simple garbage pickup route has expanded into something much more meaningful. We’ve watched families move into new condominiums, helped local restaurants manage their waste disposal during Portland’s Saturday Market events, and supported construction crews with bulk trash pickup as they built the modern skyline you see today along the Willamette River.
Our approach hasn’t changed much since day one – we show up on time, charge fair prices, and treat every customer like a neighbor. Because in South Waterfront, that’s exactly what you are. Whether you need weekly residential garbage pickup for your condo or comprehensive commercial waste collection for your business, we understand the unique challenges of this riverside community.
The narrow streets near Ross Island Bridge require careful navigation. The mix of residential and commercial properties means flexible scheduling for both dumpster service and cart collection. And the rapid growth means adapting our waste collection services to meet changing needs. After 30 years serving this area, we’ve learned that reliable garbage pickup service isn’t just about removing waste – it’s about being part of the community fabric that keeps South Waterfront running smoothly.

Why South Waterfront Trusts Metro Junk Solutions
After three decades serving this community, we’ve built relationships that go beyond simple garbage collection. Our reputation in South Waterfront comes from consistently showing up when we say we will and treating every property with care, whether it’s routine trash service or emergency cleanup.
Deep Local Knowledge and Experience
We know South Waterfront better than any outside company ever could. Our drivers understand which buildings have service elevator restrictions and when the Portland Streetcar schedule affects our pickup routes. We’ve worked with building managers at The Ardea, Meriwether, and South Waterfront Commons since they opened their doors, providing everything from standard waste collection to specialized disposal services.
During the 2021 ice storm that shut down much of Portland, we were one of the few services still making rounds in South Waterfront. We helped residents clear fallen branches with our yard waste removal service and managed emergency debris removal when the city’s regular sanitation services couldn’t navigate the icy streets near OHSU’s aerial tram station.
Community Involvement and Recognition
Our family has sponsored South Waterfront Little League teams and participated in neighborhood cleanups along the Willamette River Greenway, focusing on sustainability initiatives including compost programs and plastic waste reduction. We’ve donated services to local nonprofits and helped coordinate waste management during the annual South Waterfront Festival.
The South Waterfront Neighborhood Association recognized our business for outstanding community service in 2019. Building managers regularly recommend us to new residents because they know we understand the unique challenges of high-density urban living, from cart collection in tight spaces to coordinating bulk trash pickup around busy schedules.
