Set items at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the scheduled day and no more than 24 hours beforehand; if items are not out in time the pickup fee still applies plus a second-trip fee. An additional fee may apply if the pickup needs extra time or staff.

Conditions and source
Up to four mattresses or box springs per customer per day are accepted for free, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, closed the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's Day. Car beds, foldout sofa beds, futons, crib mattresses, waterbeds and air mattresses are not covered and are accepted as garbage at the garbage rate ($51 minimum, $176.70 per ton).

What to check before you go
- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- 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.
