2City curbside pickup in Brighton
Brighton’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.
Brighton monthly curbside bulk item collection (Waste Management)
"All residences" in the City of Brighton. The city publishes nothing about apartments, multi-family buildings or a unit count.
Conditions and source
Mattresses are named and must be covered: "Mattresses and box springs need to be wrapped in plastic or a mattress bag." The allowance is monthly, not weekly: "All residences may set out one bulk item curbside on the pickup of the first full week of every month," with "WM provides this service with no additional cost to the city or its residents" and "There is no need to contact the city or WM to schedule it." Trash is weekly, on Tuesdays north of Main Street and Wednesdays south of it. Items that are rolled, bagged or bundled must measure 4 by 4 by 2 feet and weigh under 60 pounds, each bundle or roll counting as one item, and items must be drained and free of liquids including gas, oil, Freon and water. A resident needing a pickup on another day of the month can book a paid collection by calling 866-797-9018, online, by email or through the WM chatbot, but no amount is published for it.
Not confirmed: No price is published for the paid bulk collection outside the monthly allowance
Not confirmed: Whether a mattress and its box spring count as one bulk item or two against the monthly allowance is not published
Not confirmed: The 4 by 4 by 2 foot measurement is written against rolled, bagged or bundled items and the city does not say whether it is applied to a mattress; a twin is 75 inches long and a queen 80 inches
Not confirmed: Whether an apartment dweller is served is not published

Brighton Spring Clean-Up drop-off day (held May 2, 2026)
City of Brighton residents only. "Each household may dispose of up to three bulky items free of charge. Proof of residency is required."
This year’s was on May 2, 2026 — it has already happened, and the town has not published next year’s date yet.
Conditions and source
The City of Brighton Spring Clean-Up was held Saturday, May 2, 2026, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Department of Public Works, 420 South Third Street. Accepted drop-off items were itemized as Carpet; Electronics, such as computer equipment, printers and televisions; Freon-Free Appliances; Construction Debris, limited to one pickup truck load per home; Furniture; and Wood.

A mattress appears on neither list. Questions went to the City of Brighton at 810-225-8001. The city has run this event in the spring and has run a fall equivalent.
Not confirmed: A mattress is on neither the accepted nor the unaccepted list. Furniture is accepted and the postcard does not say whether a mattress counts as furniture, so neither acceptance nor refusal is established and the city should be asked at 810-225-8001 first
Not confirmed: No date is published for a following clean-up day

The word each means a mattress and its box spring are charged separately. The same schedule lists a Stuffed Chair at $10.00 each, a Couch at $20.00 each, a Television at $20.00 each, Appliances at $25.00 each with $15 added where Freon removal is required, and Building Materials including railroad ties and fencing at $35.00 a yard.
