2City curbside pickup in Sayreville
Sayreville’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.
Sayreville heavy and bulk trash collection
Borough residents on the Borough's three collection zones. The Borough publishes no rule either way for apartment or other multifamily properties.
Conditions and source
Collection runs three times a year by zone, in April, July and October, with no appointment and no way to request another run: "No special requests for additional bulk pickups." Mattresses carry a wrapping rule the Borough states twice: "Mattresses, box springs, and futons MUST be wrapped in plastic to be collected curbside," with the printed guide allowing "wrapped in plastic or placed in disposable plastic bags." Volume per household is capped at "TWO CUBIC YARDS, OR THREE FEET BY THREE FEET BY SIX FEET." Items may go out "starting the Monday of your scheduled week, but no later than Wednesday night," must be "set out in the designated area and not placed behind vehicles," and if the guidelines are not followed the Borough "will not be able to return for additional collections." Appliances, tree branches, cardboard, masonry, televisions, computers, printers, paint, hazardous waste and tires are all shut out of the bulk run; metal, light iron and appliances go on a separate appointment-only run booked at 732-390-7008 or 732-390-7043.
Not confirmed: No fee is published and the Borough does not state that bulk trash collection is free.
Not confirmed: Apartment and multifamily eligibility is not addressed.
Not confirmed: The guide's bullet that "Items cannot exceed 4 feet in length" sits in the same list as the mattress wrapping rule, and no exemption for bedding from that length limit is published.

What Middlesex County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Sayreville and its neighbors.
- Not an option: A Middlesex County resident cannot drive a mattress to the county landfill. The County's Solid Waste Management Program states: "The Middlesex County Landfill in East Brunswick is only open to licensed solid waste haulers and does not have the capability to handle waste deliveries from residential or other vehicles without valid NJDEP permits at this time. Haulers wishing to use the Landfill should contact the MCUA at 732-246-4313." That squares with the Middlesex County Utilities Authority's own landfill enrollment form, which is addressed to haulers, asks for an NJDEP number and charges a hauler enrollment fee; the per-ton tip fee on the MCUA rate schedule is therefore not a price a household can pay. The County instead directs residents elsewhere: "If you have bulky waste that you need to dispose of... Call your local public works department to see if they offer the service you require. Check the phone book under 'garbage removal' to contract with a properly licensed hauler. See the list below of privately owned transfer stations that will allow drop-off of solid waste at their locations for a fee." Of those private transfer stations, the County notes that they "accept waste from personal vehicles weighing less than 9,000 pounds for a single vehicle or 16,000 pounds combined weight for a vehicle pulling a trailer. Waste must be delivered and there will be a charge per load. Please call the facility first to determine the operating days and hours and fees." The County also records that it "has opted to operate under a market participant system" and "does not require all waste generated in the County to be disposed of at the Middlesex County Landfill, only that it must be disposed of at a licensed disposal facility." Source Not confirmed: The County names five private transfer stations but publishes no fee, no hours and no mattress policy for any of them, directing residents to call each facility, so none has published terms. Not confirmed: The County does not say whether the MCUA's 2026 Annual Decal Program is open to anyone other than licensed haulers, and no residential decal or self-haul permit was found published.
