• There is no curbside route for a mattress in Sutherlin, and the hauler's own FAQ is what closes it off. Sutherlin Sanitary offers five residential cart sizes from 35 gallon to 1.5 yard and answers "What can I put in my cart? Any household item that is accepted by the Douglas County landfill" and "What do I do if I have extra trash? Anything that does not fit INSIDE the cart with the lid closed will incur an additional fee depending on the quantity. Additional bags may be set along side the cart and will be charged accordingly." The only larger option offered is a 15, 20 or 30 cubic yard drop box for a "large scale clean-out". No bulky-item collection is advertised and no per-item pickup price is published - which makes the $16.00 drop-off at 1050 S. Calapooia the answer for a Sutherlin household. Source Not confirmed: No price is published for an extra item set beside the cart - the fee is said to "depend on the quantity" - and the company's per-area residential rate sheets are published as images without a bulky or extra-item line, so the cost of leaving a mattress at a Sutherlin curb is not established.
• Sutherlin's dumping rules and set-out rule, with a stated fine. SMC 8.20.050 makes it unlawful to "deposit upon public or private property any kind of solid waste that would mar the appearance, create a noxious odor or fire hazard, detract from the cleanliness or safety of the property" (C), to "dispose of solid waste at any place other than a lawful and authorized disposal site or transfer station" (E), and to "discard or deposit any solid waste upon the land of another without permission of the owner, or upon any public way" (H). On the curb, SMC 8.20.040.D requires cans to be set out with lids fastened and states that "empty cans shall not remain at the curbside past collection day". SMC 8.20.070 sets the penalty: "a fine of not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) nor exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000.00)", with each separate day a separate violation. Source
• Not an option: Sutherlin has no Bye Bye Mattress collection site and neither does anywhere else in Douglas County. The program's own locator, searched on Roseburg nine miles away, returns nothing closer than St. Vincent de Paul of Lane County's Cottage Grove Thrift Store at 910 Row River Road, 43 miles up I-5, free for residents and businesses with a 5 unit maximum. For a Sutherlin household the practical answer is the $16.00 mattress line at the Sutherlin Sanitary transfer station in town, not the free state program. Source
• The City of Sutherlin's own recycling page covers the curbside commingle cart in detail - plastics #1 and #2 bottles and jugs only, corrugated cardboard with no pizza boxes, tin and aluminum cans, newspaper, and for Sutherlin and Oakland magazines, paperback books, paperboard and shredded paper in paper bags - and says nothing whatever about bulky items, furniture, mattresses or clean-up days. Its only instruction for anything else is "For more information or questions, contact Sutherlin Sanitary Service at 541-459-3139." Source
