2City curbside pickup in Dearborn
Dearborn’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.
City of Dearborn weekly bulk collection and Special Pick-Up
Dearborn households on the city's weekly curbside collection, which Priority Waste operates under contract to the city. Priority Waste's Dearborn page limits households to 5 bulk items per week and 20 per year, with carpet and padding limited to 10 rolls per week and 30 per year.
Conditions and source
Standard household bulk items that do not fit in the trash cart are placed outside the trash cart on the regular weekly trash day; a separate truck collects them by the end of the trash day, and no advance call is needed within the weekly allowance. Excessive quantities of trash, large or heavy bulk items, bundles of brush, carpet and some appliances require a Special Pick-Up arranged through the City on 311 or 313-943-2150, for which a service fee is charged; Priority Waste publishes a minimum charge of $100.00 for excessive pick-ups. Hazardous and construction materials, fuel and ammunition are not collected.
Not confirmed: Neither the city page nor the hauler's Dearborn page names mattresses among the curbside bulk items; only the city's DPW Yard list names mattresses, so kerbside acceptance of a mattress is not confirmed in writing
Not confirmed: The special pick-up service fee is published only as a $100 minimum, with no per-item price
Not confirmed: No wrapping or bagging rule is published for a mattress set out at the curb

What to check before you go
- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
