How to get rid of a mattress in Riverview, MI.

• Riverview's booked Special Pickup is a separate service from its weekly bulk collection, and it is not the route for a mattress. The city's Special Services page says "Special Pickups are on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month" and must be scheduled in advance by calling 734.281.4270. What it covers is construction and landscape debris: tree branches, stumps, shrubs, building materials, lumber, concrete, dirt, sod, sheds, pools and gym sets, with tree branches "less than 8" in diameter and more than 4' long" and the standing limit that "We cannot take anything longer than 10' in length." The volume cap is generous but finite: "The limit per home is no more than a five yard dump truck load", described as roughly six feet wide, ten feet long and four feet high, counted across all piles at the home, with any excess "left for the home owner to remove at their own expense." Debris must be placed "between the sidewalk and the curb not sooner than 24 hours prior to pickup." Eligibility turns on who did the work: the debris must be the homeowner's own, and a contractor is responsible for removing debris from its own job. Mattresses appear nowhere on the list of what a Special Pickup covers, which is consistent with bedding being handled under the weekly two-bulk-item allowance instead. No fee is published for a Special Pickup; the only price on the page is $235.00 for three days for a 10- or 20-yard dumpster rental. Source Not confirmed: No fee is published for a Special Pickup itself and the page does not say it is free Not confirmed: Mattresses are absent from the Special Pickup list, which establishes nothing either way - the list is of construction and landscape debris and the city handles bedding as a weekly bulk item
