2City curbside pickup in Lititz
Lititz’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.
Lititz Borough red tag large item collection ($4.00, mattress and box spring named)
Households in Lititz Borough on the Borough's curbside garbage collection, billed with water and sewer. No more than two red tag items per household per week.
Conditions and source
A 'Red tag $4.00' is required 'For disposal of large items such as: mattress, box spring, grill, sofa, furniture, bicycle etc. (NO MORE THAN 2 RED TAG ITEMS PER WEEK)'. Unlike the Borough's tire and appliance tags, which are only collected 'twice yearly during the months of April and October. (Apr 15-17 and Oct 14-16)', a red tag item goes out with regular trash, so a mattress is collected on the household's own day. 'Collection days in Lititz Borough are Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, depending on where you live' - Wednesday is the part of the Borough west of Broad Street, Thursday the part south of Main Street and east of Broad Street, Friday the part north of Main Street and east of Broad Street. 'Trash/Recycles should be placed out at the curb the night before your collection day, as the hauler does start very early in the morning.' The weekly base allowance is 'Three 32-gallon trash cans or bags ... per week per household', with a '$1.50' yellow tag for each extra bag or can. Because mattress and box spring are both named as red tag items, a set uses both of the two red tag slots a week allows. The Borough Office is 717-626-2044.
Not confirmed: The Borough does not publish where red tags are sold or how far in advance they must be bought.
Not confirmed: No wrapping or bagging rule is set for a mattress, and no call or booking is required.
Not confirmed: The Borough's pages disagree on the hauler - its Garbage Collection/Recycling page says Casella, while the holiday paragraph of its own 2026 collection sheet names Lebanon Farms Disposal.
Not confirmed: Neither page says what happens to a collected mattress, so the outcome is unknown.

What Lititz itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Lititz Borough's Garbage Collection/Recycling page gives the hauler and divides the Borough by street rather than by neighborhood: 'Trash collection is currently done by Casella and is sectioned off as indicated on the map below.' 'Wednesday collection is noted in green, and is all of the Borough to the west of Broad Street.' The Thursday area is the part of the Borough south of Main Street and east of Broad Street, and the Friday area the part north of Main Street and east of Broad Street. The page carries the Borough's '2026 Borough Trash and Recycling Information' sheet, a 'Trash Pick-Up Map', a 'What Can Be Recycled Curbside?' sheet, a 'Special Waste' resident's guide and an 'Electronics Recycling' sheet, and points residents to LCSWMA for household hazardous waste. The Borough Office is (717) 626-2044. The Borough bills trash with water and sewer on one account, with payment through its own portal. Source Not confirmed: The page names Casella as the hauler while the Borough's own 2026 collection sheet names Lebanon Farms Disposal in its holiday paragraph, so the current contractor is not settled between the Borough's two pages. Not confirmed: The page itself says nothing about mattresses, bulk items or tags. Those are on the linked 2026 sheet. Not confirmed: The page publishes no trash rate: the amount billed with water and sewer is not shown.
