Garbage Collection Service Sellwood-Moreland
I’ve been working in waste management here in Sellwood-Moreland for three decades, and I can tell you this neighborhood has some unique challenges. The narrow streets around Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge mean we need trucks that can handle tight corners, and the mix of historic homes and new developments requires different approaches to pickup schedules.
Last week, I was talking to Mrs. Chen who lives near Sellwood Park. She’d been dealing with another company that kept missing her pickups because they couldn’t figure out her steep driveway situation. After one conversation, we worked out a solution that’s been running smoothly for months now. That’s what 30 years of local experience gets you – we know this area inside and out.
Our family started Metro Junk Solutions back in 1994 when Sellwood-Moreland was still pretty quiet. We’ve watched the Antique Capital of the Northwest grow and change, but our commitment to fair pricing and reliable service hasn’t budged. Whether you’re in one of those beautiful craftsman homes near the bluff or in the newer condos closer to McLoughlin Boulevard, we treat every customer like they’re our neighbor – because they are.
The thing about garbage collection in this part of Portland is that it’s not just about showing up on time. You need to understand the community. During the Sellwood Bridge construction years, we had to completely redesign our routes. When the farmers market crowds pack 13th Avenue on Wednesdays, we adjust our commercial pickups accordingly. This local knowledge makes all the difference between a service that works and one that doesn’t.

Why Sellwood-Moreland Trusts Metro Junk Solutions
After three decades serving this community, we’ve built relationships that go way beyond just picking up trash. When the Peterson family decided to renovate their 1920s bungalow near Oaks Park, they called us not because we were the cheapest option, but because their neighbor recommended us. That neighbor had watched us handle their own kitchen remodel cleanup two years earlier without a single issue.
Deep Local Knowledge and Experience
We know which streets get backed up during morning rush hour and plan our routes accordingly. When SE 17th Avenue floods during heavy winter rains, we have alternate paths mapped out. Our drivers recognize the houses with elderly residents who need their bins brought back from the curb, and we do it without being asked. This isn’t just business knowledge – it’s community care that comes from living and working in the same neighborhood as our customers.
The antique district brings unique challenges too. Shop owners along 13th Avenue need flexible pickup times that don’t interfere with weekend browsers, and we’ve fine-tuned our schedule over the years to support local businesses during their busiest periods.
Community Investment and Recognition
We sponsor the annual Sellwood Little League team and donate cleanup services for the Oaks Bottom Wildlife Refuge volunteer days. When the neighborhood association needed help with their Earth Day cleanup event, we provided trucks and manpower at no charge. These aren’t marketing stunts – they’re investments in the place we call home.
Local homeowner associations regularly recommend our services to new residents, and the Sellwood-Moreland Business Association has recognized our commitment to supporting local commerce through reliable, professional service that keeps the district clean and welcoming.
