2City curbside pickup in Poplar Grove
Poplar Grove’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.
Village of Poplar Grove free weekly bulk item under 50 pounds - mattresses not named
Every household in the Village of Poplar Grove, which has one hauler by ordinance and compulsory service: "The Village of Poplar Grove Ordinance # 5-7-1 (A) establishes one waste hauler (scavenger) for the Village" and "Municipal Ordinance # 5-7-1(C) requires every resident to have garbage pick-up. There is a penalty for violating this Ordinance." The provider is MDC Environmental Services at (815) 568-7274; collection day is Wednesday and billing is quarterly. Anything heavier must be booked: "Contact us to schedule a pick up in advance. Items should not be placed at the curb until the evening before the confirmed scheduled collection."
Conditions and source
"The monthly service is a flat $20.95... This monthly rate includes UNLIMITED garbage for no added fees, Recycling, and one FREE bulk item each week under 50 pounds. Household bulk items include chairs, couches, dresser, washer/dryer, etc." and "There is NO LONGER a need to purchase stickers for bulk items or yard waste." The hauler's own page states the same limit and what lies beyond it: "One bulk item (under 50 pounds) per week will be collected on your regularly scheduled collection day at no charge. Bulk items exceeding 50 pounds will require an additional fee." Bulk items are "boxes, barrels, crates, furniture, and similar items that do not fit into a proper container and can be collected/lifted by one driver without assistance", excluding landfill-banned items (appliances, tires, car batteries, TVs, e-waste) and construction waste. "Oversized/overweight items are any single large or extra heavy item that will require the resident to schedule a special pick-up. An example of an oversized item is a piano, hot tub or any item that requires two or more people to lift. A per item fee of will apply for each oversized item." No published document names a mattress or box spring either way.
Not confirmed: Neither the village nor MDC names a mattress among bulk items, and the free allowance is capped at one item under 50 pounds liftable by one driver unaided.
Not confirmed: The fee for an over-50-pound or oversized item is not published - MDC's own sentence breaks off as "A per item fee of will apply" - so the cost of a heavy mattress cannot be stated.
Not confirmed: The penalty under Ordinance 5-7-1(C) is referred to but not quantified.

What Boone County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Poplar Grove and its neighbors.
- No landfill or transfer station operates inside Boone County. The county's one former landfill, MIG/DeWane near Belvidere, was abandoned in 1988 and is a Superfund site, not a disposal option. A Boone County household taking a mattress itself has to leave the county: the nearest sites on Ogle County's regional table are Orchard Hills Landfill, "8290 Hwy. 251 Davis Junction, IL", 815-874-9000, at "$60/ton plus taxes & fees", roughly twelve miles west of Belvidere, and Winnebago Landfill, "8315 Lindenwood Rd. Rockford, IL", 815-874-7375, at "$70/ton", to the south-west. Neither is a Boone County facility and neither publishes a mattress price. Source Not confirmed: Neither Orchard Hills nor Winnebago Landfill publishes any statement about who may use it, so neither is recorded as serving Boone County Not confirmed: No per-mattress fee is published at either site Not confirmed: Whether either accepts mattresses at all is not stated on any primary page
- Boone County runs no solid waste program of any kind. Its Health Department's Environmental Division states its scope exactly: "We have three mandated programs: potable water/well, private sewage disposal, and food sanitation", and its published service list runs Demolition, Food Sanitation, Lead Program, Nuisance, Other Services, Potable Water/Wells, Private Sewage Disposal and Real Estate Inspections. The county's Residents — Environment page points only at Animal Services, the Highway Department and Storm Water and Pollution Control. There is no county bulky collection, no county drop-off site, no county clean-up day and no county recycling center for household waste. Boone County's solid waste responsibility is discharged through the joint Regional Solid Waste Management Plan for Boone and Winnebago Counties 2022-2042, which is a planning document rather than a service. Source Not confirmed: No county solid waste coordinator page exists to confirm the absence in the county's own words Not confirmed: No county clean-up or amnesty event is published
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.
