2City curbside pickup in Wickliffe
Wickliffe’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.
City of Wickliffe curbside collection (Kimble) - mattresses taken on the regular day only if wrapped and duct taped
Residents of the City of Wickliffe. "Wickliffe is served by KIMBLE waste services", and "KIMBLE bills residents quarterly for trash services." Solid waste goes in vendor-issued 96-gallon two-wheeled carts and recycling in a 65-gallon bright green cart, both supplied by Kimble.
Conditions and source
The city's regulations sheet states: "FURNITURE is collected on your regular trash day. Due to emergence of bedbugs throughout all areas of Ohio, upholstered furniture, mattresses, box springs and rolled up carpet must be wrapped in plastic and tightly taped with duct tape. If not prepared as indicated, the items will be left at the curb. If tagged for non-compliance, and after wrapping the item as directed, residents may then call KIMBLE at 800-201-0005 to schedule a pickup." No advance call is needed for a correctly wrapped mattress; the call is the remedy after a crew tags one. Carpeting and padding "must be cut, rolled and tied in lengths not to exceed four (4) feet and in bundles weighing no more than 40 pounds", also plastic wrapped and duct taped. Set-out: "All refuse must be placed on the curb at the tree lawn no sooner than 4:30 PM on the day prior to the scheduled waste collection, nor later than 6:45 AM on the day scheduled for the pickup. All rubbish and yard waste containers must be removed from the tree lawn by 9:00 PM the day of the collection." Carts go within 3 feet of the street with the lid opening facing the street and at least 3 feet from other objects including bulk items set out for collection; overflow trash may go in separate containers or bags on the regular day. Appliances are collected on the regular day with refrigerator and locking doors removed. Not picked up: dirt, stones, rocks, construction and building materials, automotive parts, car tires, and oil-based paints, thinners, oil and flammable materials. Collections run a day late after New Year's Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Kimble is (800) 201-0005; the Wickliffe Service Department is 30020 Lakeland Boulevard, 440-943-7125, open Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Not confirmed: No limit is published on the number of bulk items, and the sheet does not say whether a mattress and a box spring count separately.
Not confirmed: Kimble's quarterly charge to a Wickliffe household is not published by the city.
Not confirmed: The sheet is dated Jan 2023 although it is served as the 2025 version.

What Lake County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Wickliffe and its neighbors.
- Lake County's Solid Waste Division page describes only the landfill drop-off at 2039 Blase Nemeth Road, Painesville, its recycling bins, the year-round electronics and household hazardous waste drop-offs for Lake County residents on Saturdays, and the special collection event calendar. No county curbside or on-call bulky-item collection is published; the county's role is the disposal facility and the Solid Waste Management District's education and special-collection programs.

Ohio mattress disposal rules
- Primary names Harvard Avenue Transfer Station at 3227 Harvard Ave, Newburgh Heights OH 44105; district calls it Harvard Road at 3227 Harvard Road. Same number, city and operator support an identity candidate, but street suffix discrepancy retained. Source
- Hamilton municipal FAQ says transfer-station large-item intake Monday–Saturday. Existing Rumpke operator-locator staging record 07c7c0690194a830d775d57e lists Monday–Friday 8am–3:45pm at the same 1000 N Third Street address and phone 513-867-8661. This is an hours discrepancy, not grounds to merge unrelated branches. Source
- Ohio EPA Solid Waste Management District Locator (GIS app): select a county to see its Solid Waste Management District; the underlying layer covers all 88 counties. SWMDs are the local contact for recycling and disposal. Source
- Ohio EPA's "Where to Recycle" page names the three statewide tools it offers residents: the Ohio EPA Recycling Directory (a searchable directory of service providers who volunteered to be listed), the solid waste management district locator map, and the Ohio Materials Marketplace for businesses. It states that recycling and litter prevention activities are controlled locally through the county's solid waste management district, which "can help with information such as ... where to take hard to recycle items". Note the agency site now serves these pages under the /wps/portal/gov/epa/ path; the bare /divisions-and-offices/... URLs 404 when requested directly. Source
- The Ohio EPA Recycling Directory is hosted on RecycleSearch (Re-TRAC) and is searchable by free text or by pre-set material categories after setting a location. Its own text says results may include curbside recycling programs, drop-off recycling locations, reuse stores and other service providers, and that listing is not an endorsement. Its FAQ states the directory "is in the process of being populated" and that some areas of the state may have no information available, directing residents to their local solid waste management district instead. Listings are managed by Ohio EPA and the districts. Source
- No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Ohio EPA pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments and county solid waste management districts. The agency's own site search for "mattress" returns only 4 resources, none of them mattress-related (Revised Total Coliform Rule, Underground Injection Control, operator exam information and a Trauma Scene Clean-Up fact sheet). The Materials and Waste Management division pages cover solid waste, infectious waste, scrap tires and C&DD, with no mattress or bulky-item program. Source
- Mattress Recycling Council's Program States page names exactly four program states — California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Oregon. Ohio is not among them, confirming there is no MRC-run mattress stewardship program or Bye Bye Mattress free drop-off network in Ohio. Source
