2City curbside pickup in Thurmont
Thurmont’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.
Town of Thurmont quarterly bulk trash collection (a sticker is required for every mattress and box spring)
Residential properties inside the Town of Thurmont. "No person may place curbside for collection any solid waste not generated from a residence within the Town limits" and "No person who is not a Town resident may place solid waste for collection within the Town limits"; multi-family properties of four or more units must contract separately and may not put waste out for the Town.
The last date published for this was Oct 17, 2026, so it has passed.
Conditions and source
"2026 Bulk Trash Schedule: January 10, 2026; April 11, 2026; July 11, 2026; October 17, 2026", and "If you are placing an item out for bulk trash whether it requires a sticker or not please contact the Town office to be placed on the pick-up list." Town Code § 63-51 requires that "Regardless of the total number of items placed for collection, residents must purchase a sticker from the Town of Thurmont for each of the following items: a. Any white goods; b. Mattresses; c. Box springs; and d. Carpeting", and that "Each mattress box spring and roll of carpet must have its own sticker" — a mattress and box spring are two stickers. The Commissioners set how many other bulk items may be placed without charge; any additional item needs a sticker bought at the Town Office. Solid waste goes to the curb no earlier than 6:00 P.M. on the day preceding collection, containers are removed by 7:00 A.M. the day after, and items may be no more than 6 feet from the edge of the roadway and may not block a sidewalk. A violation is a municipal infraction of $50, $100, $250 and $500 for the first to fourth offenses.
Not confirmed: The price of a Thurmont bulk sticker is not published in the code or on the town's bulk trash page
Not confirmed: The number of items allowed without a sticker is set by the Commissioners and is not published
