2City curbside pickup in Guttenberg
Guttenberg’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.
Town of Guttenberg curbside bulk collection of mattresses (wrapping required by ordinance)
Guttenberg residents. The Department of Public Works lists 'Bulk trash removal' among its functions and describes itself as serving more than 11,000 residents. No building-size or unit-count cutoff, apartment exclusion or private-hauler exclusion is published, and the mattress ordinance itself is written against anyone placing a mattress curbside for bulk collection rather than against a class of building.
Conditions and source
The wrapping is imposed by the Town's own ordinance, not by a hauler. Code § 13-2.3, added by Ord. No. 17-2017, requires that 'Mattresses and box springs that are placed curbside for bulk collection shall be completely wrapped in plastic or placed in disposable plastic bags. Plastic wrapping or plastic bags must be sufficient to cover all exposed areas of the mattress and box spring,' and gives the reason: 'to avoid, to the greatest extent possible, Town employees from coming into contact with bedbugs or bedbug-infested materials.' Fail it and the mattress may be left where it is — items 'that are not wrapped or infested with bedbugs, may be refused pickup for bulk collection in the absolute discretion of the Superintendent of the Department of Public Works or his designee.' Until the collection day the mattress must stay indoors: Code § 13-2.2 makes it unlawful to store bulky household waste 'including household appliances, furniture and mattresses, in areas zoned residential except in a fully enclosed structure or during days designated for the collection of bulky items.' Set-out is no earlier than 6:00 p.m. on the day before collection under § 13-6.3, and a first conviction under this chapter carries a $100 penalty under § 13-7. Regular garbage, by contrast, runs Mondays and Thursdays east of Hudson Avenue and Tuesdays and Fridays west of it, with no collections on Saturdays or Sundays. The Department of Public Works is at 217 - 71 Street and takes calls at 201-868-2315, extension 240.
Not confirmed: The Town publishes no bulk collection day or calendar, although the ordinance refers to 'days designated for the collection of bulky items' and the Department of Public Works lists bulk trash removal as a function.
Not confirmed: No fee is published for bulk collection or for a mattress, and no Town page calls it free, so no price is established.
Not confirmed: No booking route or notice period for bulk collection is published.
Not confirmed: No limit is published on the number of items per bulk collection.
Not confirmed: Where collected mattresses are taken is not published, so no recycling or disposal outcome is established.

What Guttenberg itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Guttenberg backs its mattress rule with a storage ban, a set-out window and a money penalty, all in the same chapter. Code § 13-2.2, Storage Prohibited; Exception (Ord. 8/17/88 § 4), says 'It shall be unlawful for any residential property owner to store or permit storage of any bulky household waste, including household appliances, furniture and mattresses, in areas zoned residential except in a fully enclosed structure or during days designated for the collection of bulky items.' The set-out window is set by § 13-6.3, Storage of Refuse Receptacles (Ord. #02-14): items 'shall be placed adjacent to the curb in front of the premises, or other area designated for collection no earlier than 6:00 p.m. on the day before collection and shall be promptly returned to the storage area upon collection. Refuse receptacles shall not be stored on sidewalks or areas in front of any buildings or houses between collections.' The penalty for all of it is § 13-7 (Ord. No. 13-2015; Ord. No. 09-2016): 'Each person violating Sections 13-1 through 13-6 of the provisions of this chapter, shall, upon first conviction, be liable to a penalty of $100. Any second or subsequent conviction shall be liable to the penalty as stated in Chapter 1, Section 1-5.' A mattress put out unwrapped, or put out early, is therefore a $100 offense on a first conviction. The same chapter prices the one thing the Town does charge for in this area: § 13-6.2 requires a permit for a portable on-demand storage container used 'in the relocation of household furniture or other items', where 'A $75 fee will be charged for each container and the permit shall be for three days.' Source Not confirmed: The chapter does not name the days designated for the collection of bulky items, and the Town publishes no bulk collection calendar. Not confirmed: The escalated penalty for a second or subsequent conviction is set by reference to Chapter 1, Section 1-5, which was not read, so the amount above $100 is not established.

- 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.
