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

The village publishes the hauler's residential price list, dated January 5, 2024, which prices the two halves of a bed separately: Mattress $15.00, Box Spring $15.00, Bed Frame $10.00, so a complete bed set is $40.00. Neighboring entries set the scale: appliances such as washer, dryer or water heater $25.00; bathtub $15.00; bicycle $10.00; book case $8.00; couch $20.00 per section with a sleeper sofa adding $5.00; dresser $10.00; stuffed chair $17.50; straight chair $10.00; toilet $10.00; vacuum $7.00; microwave $10.00; push mower $12.00 with oil and gas removed; swing set $25.00, or $15.00 wooden; TV $50.00 for console, projection or plasma and $1.00 per inch for a flat screen; scrap steel no charge. Carpet is priced by the room at $25.00, or $20.00 if the customer helps load, to a maximum length of 6 feet and 100 lbs, and must be in a manageable condition so it will go in the truck. Loose volumes run $2.25 a bag, $7.50 a yard, $3.75 a half yard, $1.88 a quarter yard and $22.50 for a cycle of three yards, with two bags counted as one can. For anything not on the list the hauler photographs the pile and quotes it. Regular collection day is Monday, with carts curbside no later than 7:00 AM and no earlier than 5:00 PM the day before; refuse carts have black lids and recycle carts yellow lids; refuse must be bagged inside the cart with the lid closed. Containers are contractor-supplied 95 or 35 gallon wheeled carts, placed outside any fence along the curb with lids opening toward the street and at least three feet between each container and other objects, removed from streets and alleyways by 11:59 p.m. on the day of collection, and otherwise kept behind the front building line and out of street view.

• $10 — Bed Frame, $10.00, on the ARS Refuse Service residential bulk item price list published by the Village of Whitehouse, dated January 5, 2024. Taken with the $15.00 mattress and the $15.00 box spring, a whole bed set costs $40.00 to have collected from the curb at any time of year. Arranged directly with ARS at 419-445-5391.
• $15 — Mattress, $15.00, on the ARS Refuse Service residential bulk item price list the Village of Whitehouse publishes on its own refuse page, dated January 5, 2024. The charge is per item, arranged directly with ARS at 419-445-5391 at any time of year, and is "an additional fee separate from your monthly statement" of $16.32. A box spring is priced separately at $15.00 and a bed frame at $10.00, so a complete bed set is $40.00. These are residential rates: the file path printed at the foot of the sheet reads Customer Service, Residential, Residential Pricing Lists, Bulk Item Pricing.
• $15 — Box Spring, $15.00, listed as its own line on the same ARS Refuse Service residential bulk item price list the Village of Whitehouse publishes, dated January 5, 2024. Because the mattress and the box spring are priced separately, a resident clearing a bed pays $15.00 twice, and $10.00 more if the bed frame goes too. Arranged directly with ARS at 419-445-5391, separate from the $16.32 monthly refuse statement.

Not confirmed: The price list is dated January 5, 2024 and the village has published no later revision, so the figures may have risen.

The village ran its 2026 bulk item curbside collections on June 27 and September 26, both now past, and has published two such dates a year. "Please have items to the curb by 7:00 AM, but no earlier than 5:00 PM the day before." "Bagged Trash will not be accepted." What may go out is set by the village's General Clean Up Guidelines, which name bedding under HOUSEHOLD ITEMS: "Furniture- TV's- Mattresses- Box Springs, Etc are acceptable. All appliances must be certified 'Freon Free'". The guidelines are firm on the rest: "RESIDENTIAL BAGGED TRASH IS NOT CONSIDERED BULK AND WILL NOT BE COLLECTED"; "NO YARD WASTE - No branches, No leaves, No grass"; "NO HAZARDOUS WASTE - No Batteries- Pesticides- Liquid Paint, Etc. **Dried Paint is Acceptable as Long as Lid is off Paint Can**"; "NO TIRES"; "NO TYPE OF LIQUID IS ACCEPTABLE." Empty burn barrels are accepted, barrels or bags of ashes are not. Push mowers, roto tillers and swing sets are accepted with liquids drained. Construction material is accepted without concrete, concrete blocks, drywall, dirt, stones or ashes, and "Material cannot exceed 5 foot in length. Material must fit into the back of the truck or provided container. We will not break off material with the truck blade."

Not confirmed: The village does not say whether the twice-yearly curbside collection is free or whether the ARS per-item prices apply to it, so a reader should not assume it costs nothing.

Not confirmed: The village has not published the 2027 dates.

Not confirmed: The five-foot length cap in the General Clean Up Guidelines is written under CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL and the village does not say whether it is read across to a mattress, which exceeds five feet in every size.
