2City curbside pickup in Coal City
Coal City’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
Coal City weekly bulk item collection (LRS)
Single-family homes and buildings of fewer than five units in the Village of Coal City, for which the village's collection service is mandatory under Sec. 50-6 of the village code
Conditions and source
One additional bag of refuse may be placed curbside each week and counts as the bulk item allowance for that week. Acceptable bulk items include mattresses, which must be wrapped in plastic, along with furniture, carpet rolled and tied in 4-foot bundles, solidified paint with no lid, and grills without the propane tank. Bulk items must be less than 50 lbs and reasonably maneuvered by one individual; anything heavier, or needing more than one person to move, must be scheduled by calling (815) 725-4555. Carts and bags go out by 6 a.m. on the collection day and come in the same day; the village code additionally forbids setting waste out more than 48 hours before the scheduled collection time.
Not confirmed: No price is published for a scheduled over-50-lb pickup or for a second bulk item in a week
Not confirmed: Whether a wrapped mattress under 50 lbs consumes the one-extra-bag weekly allowance is not stated

What Coal City itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Chapter 50 sets no fine of its own; Sec. 50-99 sends the reader to Sec. 10-99, the general penalty, which is where the number is. "Whenever in this Code the doing of any act or the omission to do any act constitutes a breach of any section or provision of this Code, and no fine or penalty is declared for the breach, any person who is convicted of any breach shall be fined not less than $75 nor more than $750 for each offense... A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a violation of this Code occurs or continues. Each day that the violation continues shall subject such person to an additional penalty of not less than $75 and not more than $750." Coal City also runs a ticket route: a "P-ticket" or "code violation ticket" lets a resident plead guilty and pay the minimum fine to the village clerk or code administrator "within 14 days of the issuance", after which the matter goes to the circuit court or administrative adjudication and the full range of fines applies. No one is eligible to settle that way if they have been "found liable for or guilty of three or more ordinance violations within the 12 preceding months". So a mattress dumped on a Coal City verge, or set out three days early, runs $75 a day minimum. Source
What Grundy County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Coal City and its neighbors.
- Grundy County runs no collection of its own and says so plainly in its Green Guide 2024: "If you live in an unincorporated area, it is your responsibility to obtain the services of a licensed waste hauler through subscription service. All municipalities have contracts with individual haulers to collect waste within their boundaries." The county's role is regulatory, not operational: the Land Use Department's Environmental and Resource Conservation Office "regulates the waste haulers, improper garbage disposal, and open dumping issues for the unincorporated areas of Grundy County", licenses every hauler working in the county whether in incorporated or unincorporated areas, and enforces the part of the nuisance ordinance covering "junk or refuse accumulated on a property". Open dumping "is prohibited and violators are required to comply with County and IEPA state requirements for cleaning the property until compliance is met. Failure to comply will cause the case to be sent to the States Attorney's office." One rule on the page helps renters directly: "Owners of rental units or managers of mobile home parks are required to provide both garbage and recycling services to their tenants. The garbage and recycling receptacles shall be large enough to serve all of the tenants and be kept in a clean and orderly manner." Source
- Grundy County operates no drop-off site. Its Environment & Resource Conservation Office recycling page lists no location, no hours and no accepted-items list - the list is marked "Acceptable Items for Recycle - Coming Soon" - and states of its collection days: "CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO E-WASTE EVENTS SCHEDULED. IF THEY BECOME AVAILABLE THEY WILL BE POSTED HERE." For hazardous items it directs residents to the Illinois EPA and to PaintCare. There is nothing here a resident could take a mattress to, and no county fee schedule exists to quote. Source
- The county's own reuse advice for large furniture is thin and does not reach mattresses. The Green Guide 2024 "Furniture" page names three outlets and nothing else: "Goodwill, 414 Arthur Ave., Morris, IL, (815)941-2411"; "St. Vincent DePaul, 1427 N. Division, Morris, IL, (815) 942-9288"; and "Salvation Army Operation Home Front Furniture Bank", for which no address or telephone is given. The guide states no mattress policy for any of them and the county notes that "Inclusion is not intended as an endorsement of any of these companies". The guide's only other reuse route for household goods is the Morris Freecycle group. No Grundy County outlet has been established as accepting a mattress. Source Not confirmed: No mattress acceptance or refusal is published for Goodwill Morris, St. Vincent DePaul Morris or the Salvation Army furniture bank. Not confirmed: The guide gives no address, hours or contact for the Salvation Army Operation Home Front Furniture Bank, so it could not be verified as an operating outlet.
Illinois mattress disposal rules
- Residential body says Saturday 8–2; same-page footer says 9–1. Both show weekdays 8–4. No Saturday schedule selected. Source
- Locator retains Landfill 33 Saturday 7 a.m.–11 p.m. exactly as printed; implausible closing time requires confirmation. Two Columbus District Office cards are distinct OH and IN addresses, not duplicates. Source
- Illinois EPA recycling page offers a 'Beyond The Bin' ArcGIS map of recycling locations, an Earth911 ZIP locator and the Recycle Coach app (statewide partnership since 2025). No mattress stewardship program mentioned. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Illinois EPA pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source
- There is no state mattress recycling program in Illinois, and the absence is worth stating plainly because the four states that have one give residents free drop-off. The Mattress Recycling Council, which runs the Bye Bye Mattress collection network, lists its programs on its own Programs page as operating in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island. Illinois is not among them. Three things follow for an Illinois resident: no recycling fee is charged on an Illinois mattress sale, there is no MRC-funded free drop-off anywhere in the state, and nothing obliges a retailer, hauler or municipality to recycle a mattress rather than landfill it. Recycling in Illinois is therefore a private arrangement wherever it exists at all — the drop-offs and recyclers listed on this page are businesses and charities choosing to do it, not a program a resident is entitled to.
