City of Washington one bulk item a month, mattresses named in the contract specification
Occupied dwelling units in the City of Washington, Washington County. The 2024–2028 contract specification covers "residential dwellings and apartment buildings with no more than six(6) units within the City of Washington on a one (1) time per week basis". Collection is the city's monopoly: Chapter 294, § 294-2 provides that "All garbage, household rubbish and ash collection and disposition in the City of Washington shall hereafter be conducted solely by the City." § 294-9 limits collection to "occupied dwelling units only and not from commercial houses," and a dwelling under the same roof as a business is treated as commercial. Buildings of six or more units may elect dumpster service as a commercial house on application to the City Health Officer. Service is billed annually to the property: the city's Residential Services page states "ANNUAL FEE $320 IF PAID BY JUNE 1, 2026" with a "LATE FEE OF $50 IF PAID AFTER JUNE 2, 2026".
This year’s was on Jun 2, 2026 — it has already happened, and the town has not published next year’s date yet.

The city's own bid specification defines bulk in terms that name the item: "BULK - any large durable goods such as refrigerators (properly prepared), washing machines, window air conditioners, hot water heaters, dishwashers, and any other major home appliances In addition to other large bulk items such as dressers, beds, mattresses, sofas, and other large household Items." The allowance is monthly and tied to a set week: "It is expressly understood that the bid shall include the pick-up of bulky items. Each resident will be permitted to dispose of one bulk item per month at the curb at a designated week each month. Residents may arrange for a special pick-up of multiple bulk items from the Contractor." The same document's definition of LIMITED COLLECTION states that "Occupants are limited to one bulk Item each month," and the automated-collection option prices the contract as "a fixed price per residential unit per month for the appropriate phase of the contract period for automated cart-limit weekly collection of residential solid waste and monthly pickup of one bulk item." Set-out timing changes with the clock under § 294-3: solid waste "shall not be placed alley side or on the curb before 6:00 p.m. the day before scheduled pickup during those weeks when Eastern daylight savings time prevails," and "before 3:00 p.m. the day before scheduled pickup during those weeks when Eastern standard time prevails." Containers go "at the alley side adjacent to that person's property or at the curbside if no alley exists," and collection runs "between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on the scheduled date for collection" under § 294-7. Recycling is collected once a month by Earthwise Environmental Solutions of PA, 475 West Newton Rd, Elizabeth, PA 15037, (724) 379-4331, whose 2026 calendar for the city lists "Non-Acceptable items: All Glass * Plastic containers NOT #1 or #2, Trash". The designated bulk week is not published, and no price is published for the special pick-up of multiple bulk items.
Not confirmed: The city does not publish which bid option Council awarded, so whether bulk is limited to one item a month or unlimited is not confirmed.
Not confirmed: The designated bulk week each month is not published on the city's website.
Not confirmed: No price is published for the special pick-up of multiple bulk items from the contractor.

What Washington County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Washington and its neighbors.
- Washington County, Pennsylvania's Planning Office recycling page publishes electronics recycling routes (JVS Environmental, Noble Environmental) and an annual special collection event for "materials that are difficult to recycle, such as tires and household chemicals", and refers residents to the Washington County Recycling Facilities Directory for "a full list of local and regional drop-off locations." It names no county-run landfill, transfer station or bulky-waste drop-off and says nothing about mattresses. Eleven communities in the county are mandated to provide recycling and two more do so voluntarily; residents are told to check with their municipal office. Planning Office: 724-228-6811. Self-haul disposal is at private facilities, notably the WM Arden Landfill, 100 Rangos Lane, Washington, PA. Source Not confirmed: The Recycling Facilities Directory itself was not opened; no county mattress fee is published.
- Washington County, Pennsylvania runs no county-wide bulky-item or mattress collection. The county's role under Act 101 is planning, the recycling facilities directory and the annual hard-to-recycle collection event; curbside collection, including any bulk pickup, is arranged by each municipality and its hauler, and the county tells residents to "check with your local municipal office to see if curbside service is available at your address."
