2City curbside pickup in Inkster
Inkster’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.
Inkster curbside collection and paid special pickup
Residential curbside customers in Inkster. The city does not publish whether an apartment or multi-unit address is served. A resident who cannot reach the curb has one published route: "Side door service is available to those who send proof of their disability to the Contractor and also copy the City."
Conditions and source
"There is a six-item maximum on items set out for collection." Carpet and bulky items "Must be cut, rolled, and bundles," with "Lengths must measure 4 feet or less" and "Weight must not exceed 50 pounds" — caps a standard mattress does not meet, since a twin is 75 inches long and a queen 80 inches and a mattress runs 50 to 100 pounds. The city does not name mattresses, so it does not say which route they take. Heavy items go to a paid, booked pickup: "Special pick-ups consist of additional items or heavy household items," "There are charges incurred with special pick-ups," and they "must be called in 24 hours in advance so that the proper moving equipment will be available" at 313-563-9774. Set-out is bounded at both ends: nothing at the curb "before 6pm on the day before the collection," receptacles in "within 24 hours," and "Citations are issued for items set out improperly, too early or for items set out after the collection has been made."
Not confirmed: No amount is published for the charges on a special pickup
Not confirmed: The city never names mattresses, so whether a mattress is taken as an ordinary bulky item despite exceeding the 4-foot and 50-pound caps, or must go as a paid special pickup, is not established
Not confirmed: No mattress wrapping rule is published, and the citation amount and its ordinance section are not stated
Not confirmed: The hauler's Inkster page says "no limit" against the city's six-item maximum; the city's figure is the one recorded
