The City of Portland has established a $2.45 per month (on a
weekly service) "terrain charge" included in the bill. In most of Portland's west side, the topography creates
conditions that lead to higher service costs. Factors
include: narrow and dead-end roads, hills, non-grid street
layouts, and more distance between houses.
Account payments are due by the 15th of the month. Past due accounts
are subject to cancellation. A $25 reinstatement fee
will be charged after cancellation for non-payment. A
FINANCE CHARGE which is computed at the rate of .75%
monthly (ANNUAL PERCENTAGE RATE 9%). A minimum of $.50
will be assessed on any amound due after applying payments
received which remains unpaid for 25 days or
more after closing date. NSF/Returned Check charge $25.00.
If you are having trouble remembering to pay your bill, you might want to set up an auto-debit with your bank.
