How to get rid of a mattress in Streetsboro, OH.

Standard Service, $19.31 a month, includes the 95-gallon cart "and up to an excess of 4 cubic yards ((6 feet wide, 3 feet high and 3 feet depth)) of contained solid waste or bulk items", so a mattress set out by a Standard Service household falls inside the allowance and is not separately billed; only "If residence exceeds 4 cubic yards of solid waste or bulk items" are the excess items left at the curb for prepayment. Limited Service, $17.31 a month, "includes the contents of your Kimble dark green 95- or 65-gallon refuse cart" and nothing more, so a mattress is always an extra item. Limited Walk-Up Service is $36.27 a month and still requires that "Excess materials and bulk items must be taken to the curb by the resident." Anything beyond the selected level is prepaid: "Residents wanting to place Extra/Bulk material in excess of their selected service must call Kimble Customer Service at 800-201-0005, at least 24 hours prior to their next scheduled collection day to prepay for the excess based on the enclosed 'Extra & Bulk Item Material List'." On that list, "Mattress (Must be wrapped in plastic)" and "Box Springs (Must be wrapped in plastic)" are each $25.00. Kimble's general bulk list omits bedding - "Bulk items include stoves, appliances, hot water heaters (water removed), washers, dryers, furniture, chairs, and carpet (4 feet in length)" - and its separate wrapping sentence reads "All mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture infested with bed bugs MUST be wrapped and sealed in plastic." Everything must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on collection day or it waits for the next scheduled pickup. Extra refuse carts are $3.25 a month with a one-time $15.00 delivery fee per trip. No collection on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day; a holiday Monday through Thursday delays the rest of that week by a day. The city's Service Department is at 2094 State Route 303, 330-626-2856.

• $0 — No charge on Standard Service, $19.31 a month, which includes the Kimble 95-gallon cart "and up to an excess of 4 cubic yards ((6 feet wide, 3 feet high and 3 feet depth)) of contained solid waste or bulk items". A queen mattress is roughly 80 by 60 by 10 inches and sits well inside that allowance, so it is collected at no additional cost; the $25.00 list price applies only once the household exceeds 4 cubic yards, or on Limited Service and Limited Walk-Up Service, which include only the contents of the cart.
• $25 — Per mattress, prepaid, when it is set out in excess of the household's selected service level - which in practice means every Limited Service and Limited Walk-Up household, since a mattress cannot go inside the cart those levels cover. The City of Streetsboro's "EXTRA & BULK ITEM MATERIAL LIST, City of Streetsboro, Citywide Waste and Recycle Collection Services" lists "Mattress (Must be wrapped in plastic)" in its $25.00 column. A box spring is a separate $25.00 line on the same list, so a bed set is $50.00. Prepay by calling Kimble Customer Service at 800-201-0005 at least 24 hours before the next scheduled collection day. The list was published with Kimble's notice to residents dated September 23, 2021 and is the most recent the city publishes.
• $25 — Per box spring, prepaid, on the same terms as the mattress: the city's Extra & Bulk Item Material List carries "Box Springs (Must be wrapped in plastic)" as its own $25.00 line, separate from "Mattress (Must be wrapped in plastic)". A mattress and box spring set out together are therefore two charges totaling $50.00, both prepaid to Kimble at 800-201-0005 at least 24 hours ahead.

Not confirmed: The rate card and bulk item price list are dated September 23, 2021 and the city publishes nothing newer, so whether the $25.00 mattress charge and the $19.31 and $17.31 monthly rates still stand is not established.

Not confirmed: The documents do not reconcile two different wrapping statements: the price list attaches "(Must be wrapped in plastic)" to the mattress and box springs lines unconditionally, while the letter's bullet requires wrapping for mattresses, box springs and upholstered furniture "infested with bed bugs".

Not confirmed: It is not stated whether a mattress set out inside the Standard Service 4 cubic yard allowance must still be wrapped, nor whether the 50-pound footnote on loose material reaches a mattress.
