City of Kalamazoo quarterly curbside bulk trash collection
City of Kalamazoo residents, on the bulk trash day for their area in March, June, September and December. Not available to properties in the Central Business District/Downtown or to multi-family buildings with five or more units, who use the city's free Bulk Trash Drop-Off Days instead.
Conditions and source
Mattresses are the first item on the city's accepted list. No request or booking is needed - items go out for the scheduled collection in the area. Up to 7.5 cubic yards of material per collection. Items may be set out from 7 a.m. the day before and must be out by 6 a.m. on the collection day; anything left uncollected must be removed from the curb within two days. These times are set by city ordinance and items out too early or left too late are treated as a nuisance and may draw enforcement without notice. An infested mattress should be defaced, covered with a clear bag and labeled. Items in black or opaque bags, loose piles, regular household trash, recyclables, yard waste, tires, concrete and construction materials, paint and liquids, EPS foam and electronics are refused.
Not confirmed: The city does not say whether bulk trash is landfilled or recycled

City of Kalamazoo free Bulk Trash Drop-Off Days (Republic Services, Gembrit Circle)
City of Kalamazoo residents only; proof of residency in the City of Kalamazoo is required at the gate. The city points downtown residents and people in buildings of five or more units here, because they get no curbside bulk collection.
The last date published for this was Oct 3, 2026, so it has passed.
Conditions and source
Only on the scheduled drop-off days, which the city publishes as a Wednesday 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and a Saturday 8:00 AM to noon, three times a year - most recently September 30 and October 3, 2026, with April 1 and 4, 2026 and May 27 and 30, 2026 before them. Up to 7.5 cubic yards of the same materials accepted through the quarterly curbside bulk trash program, which names mattresses. Dropping bulk trash off during Republic Services' ordinary business hours is possible but the city says there is a fee on other days. Concrete, large metal, yard waste, liquid and hazardous waste, non-latex paint, motor oil, solvents, batteries, medical waste, whole tires, tires on rims, large car parts and large-volume demolition debris are refused.
Not confirmed: Republic Services' own charge for a drop-off on a day that is not a scheduled free day is not published by the city
Not confirmed: The city does not say whether the material dropped off is landfilled or recycled

Barry, Hope, and Johnstown Township Transfer Station furniture and mattress drop-off
Barry County's own guide prints no residency rule for this station in its "Furniture & Matresses" section. On the guide's separate drop-off page the same station carries the note "*No recycling fees for Barry, Hope, & Johnstown Township residents", which is a fee note about recycling rather than a rule about who may bring a mattress. The guide gives 269-623-5171 and barrytownshipmi.com/transfer-station for questions. Two of the three stations the county lists for bedding carry no residency note at all; the third, Orangeville Township's, is marked "*Orangeville Township residents ONLY".
Conditions and source
The Barry County Recycling & Disposal Guide, published by the Barry County Materials Management Planning Committee and stamped "Updated April 2025", lists this station at 2994 Osborne Road in Delton under a heading of its own, "Furniture & Matresses". The guide publishes no hours and no price for the station, and lists no accepted-items detail beyond that heading. Readers are given the telephone number 269-623-5171 and the township's own transfer station page.
Not confirmed: The guide publishes no fee for a mattress, a box spring or anything else at this station, so the cost of a trip is not established. An unpublished fee is not a free one.
Not confirmed: No hours are published in the county's guide.
Not confirmed: No residency rule is published for furniture and mattresses, so whether a resident of Hastings may use the station is unknown.
Not confirmed: The guide does not say whether a mattress taken here is recycled or landfilled.
Not confirmed: The station is run by Barry, Hope and Johnstown Townships, not by Barry County, and the townships' own page was not read.
Not confirmed: The guide gives no ZIP code for the Osborne Road address.

Related entries: "Construction/Demolition Waste - Wastenot Recycling and transfer station, 3025 Ravine Road (269-342-6400) will accept for a fee concrete, asphalt, roofing shingles, gypsum wallboard, wood, metals, bricks, glass, etc." and "Scrap Metal – Kalamazoo Metal Recycling on King Highway and Schupan & Sons on Glendenning Road accept scrap metal…".

- 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.
