• Conshohocken's mattress rule is an ordinance, not a hauler's preference, and it is enforced against the property owner. An ordinance of the Borough of Conshohocken amending Chapter 20 Solid Waste adds to Part 1, Garbage Collection and Disposal, section 20-105, a new subsection 3: "Mattresses and boxsprings. Mattresses and boxsprings shall be placed curbside for collection only after the owner or occupant has contacted the Borough to arrange for pickup of such materials consistent with the Borough's rules and regulations for bulk collection. Mattresses and boxsprings shall not be placed at the curb prior to 5:00 p.m. of the day before the collection day agreed to between the Borough and the owner or occupant. All mattresses and box springs shall be placed in a waterproof, airtight, sealed bag prior to being placed at the curb. Failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall be the responsibility of the owner and shall be subject to the penalties described in § 20-109." The penalty provision is amended to match: "A cleanout, mattress, or boxspring placed curbside for collection in violation of any part of this Part shall be considered a public nuisance. In the event the owner and/or occupant of the property cannot be contacted by the end of the business day on which the violation is noted by the Borough, the Code Official, at his or her discretion, shall have the materials removed by whatever means necessary, and all costs associated therewith shall be assessed to the owner and/or to the property on which the violation occurred. The Borough may collect such costs through the filing of a municipal claim or through such other remedy as provided by law." The stated reason is employee safety: the borough's Operations Department, "including specifically Public Services", asked for the amendment "to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of Borough employees collecting such materials". An unbagged mattress in Conshohocken is thus a public nuisance the borough may remove and bill to the property. Source Not confirmed: The copy of the ordinance published by the borough is an unexecuted draft: the ordinance number is blank, the enactment date reads "_____ day of _______________________, 2025", and the signature lines for the Council President, Borough Secretary and Mayor are unsigned. The borough's live trash page states the same bagging requirement as current policy in the same words, so the rule is in force, but the adopted ordinance number and effective date could not be confirmed. Not confirmed: Section 20-109 sets no monetary figure in the text published; the remedy recorded is removal of the materials and assessment of the cost against the owner.
