Holiday delays

If your garbage, recycling, and compost pick-up day is Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, expect a one-day delay after Christmas and New Year’s.  

Never miss a pick-up: Sign up for email reminders at www.garbagedayreminders.com.

Snow or ice

In case of bad weather, your pick-up may be delayed. Leave bins at the curb. Your garbage company will come as soon as they can.

Holiday trees

After the holidays, remove all tree decorations before setting out for pick-up.

You have two options for disposing of your holiday tree:

1. Set out your whole tree (6-feet or shorter) for a $5 charge.
2. Or cut your tree into pieces (3-feet or shorter), and place in your compost bin for no extra charge (make sure the lid closes). 

Note: Artificial trees and trees “flocked” with fake snow should be put at curb for pick-up as garbage ($5).

Extra trash

Set out extra bags or cans (32 gal and 55 lbs max) for $5 each.

For large, bulky items that don’t fit into your garbage bin (like furniture or mattresses), call your garbage company for a cost estimate (prices vary). If the item is still in good condition, consider donating! Call 503-234-3000 to find out donation organizations, drop-off locations and pick-up options.

Renters

If you rent a house or apartment, ask your property manager before setting out whole trees, extra garbage or bulky items.

The Residential Infill Project has a date with City Council for a public hearing. Community members are invited to testify on the Planning and Sustainability Commission’s recommendations for updating the rules for Portland's single-dwelling neighborhoods. Prior to the hearing, project staff will brief Commissioners on the RIP Recommended Draft.

• December 11, 2019 – City Council briefing (no public testimony)
• January 15, 2020 – First City Council hearing; written testimony will be open at least 30 days prior to the hearing.

Confirm date/time on the Council calendar.

Read the PSC’s recommendations to City Council

You can review the PSC’s recommendation to City Council in the Residential Infill Project Recommended Draft. Changes to the zoning code include:

• Increase the range of permissible housing types (e.g., duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes and additional accessory dwelling units) in single-dwelling zones.
• Expand the area where these housing types would be allowed (replaces the previously proposed ‘a’ overlay with the ‘z’ overlay, which limits where these housing types can be built based on landslide risk, flood plain and natural resources).  
• Scale the building size limits to increase incrementally with the second or third unit. For instance, on a 5,000 sf R5-zoned lot, a house could be up to 2,500 sf, a duplex 3,000 sf, and a triplex or fourplex tops out at 3,500 sf.
• Remove minimum parking requirements and add new garage design requirements.

Learn about these and other proposals by reviewing the RIP Recommended Draft documents:

• Recommended Draft Summary – Short summary of the Recommended Draft’s major proposals
• Volume 1: Staff Report – Summary and analysis of recommended amendments
• Volume 2: Zoning Code Amendments – Full code text and commentary
• Volume 3: Appendices – Additional information and supporting analysis

Anti-displacement Action Plan efforts are underway

In addition to the Residential Infill Project and Better Housing by Design, another key part of the Housing Opportunities Initiative is the Anti-Displacement Action Plan. Work is continuing with community partners to:

• Inventory and develop accountability measures for City anti-displacement programs/actions.
• Create a community/City task force.
• Explore potential additional programs/actions.
• Engage with households affected by displacement.

Next Steps

City Council work sessions for the Residential Infill Project will start in December. Public hearings will be held in January. Testimony will be open at least 30 days prior to the hearings. We will share more about the schedule, dates times and locations as those details are finalized.
