2City curbside pickup in River Rouge
River Rouge’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 River Rouge bi-weekly bulk collection (Priority Waste)
Households in the City of River Rouge on the City's contracted collection. Service days in River Rouge are listed as Tuesday through Friday. Nothing is booked for an ordinary bulk item; a Freon-bearing item is 'scheduled by the City'. The hauler's numbers are 586-228-1200 and 1-855-927-8365. No City of River Rouge page confirming the arrangement could be reached: the domain listed for the City in public directories, cityofriverrouge.com, refused the connection on November 7, 2026, and the City's eligibility rules therefore rest on the hauler's own River Rouge page.
Conditions and source
No price is published for a bulky item. The hauler's River Rouge page states 'Bulk Pick Up/Special Pick Up: Bi-weekly bulk pick up – no limit' — every other week, not weekly, which separates River Rouge from neighboring Ecorse, where the same hauler runs bulk weekly. It adds 'In addition, Freon bearing items may be picked up for $45.00, as scheduled by the City'; that $45.00 covers a Freon-bearing appliance only and is not a mattress price. Holidays shift service: 'If your service day is on or after the holiday, that week, your service day will be delayed one day.' Nothing further is published. The City of River Rouge has no reachable official website, is not on eCode360, and its Municode entry serves no browsable code of ordinances, so no City ordinance on refuse set-out, containers, bulky items, alley placement or illegal dumping penalties could be read. Two codes that dominate search results for this city belong elsewhere and do not govern it: ecode360.com/11982724 is Chapter 212, Solid Waste, of the City of Rockwood, Michigan, and ecode360.com/12409796 is Chapter 610 of the City of Monroe, Michigan.
Not confirmed: No mattress or box spring is named, in either direction, and no accepted or not-accepted list for bulk items is published.
Not confirmed: No price, weight cap, preparation rule or set-out time is published for a bulk item. The only figure anywhere is the $45.00 Freon fee.
Not confirmed: The page does not say which weeks are the bulk weeks, nor how a resident learns which week their address falls on.
Not confirmed: The $45.00 Freon pickup is 'as scheduled by the City' and no City office or notice period is named.
Not confirmed: No City of River Rouge publication on refuse collection could be reached, so the City's own rules are entirely unestablished, and it is not confirmed from a City source that Priority Waste is the current contracted hauler.
Not confirmed: No outcome is published. The hauler's page carries no date.
