West Mifflin Borough Residential Multiple Item Pickup permit (a $125 permit for a pile, not a per-item mattress price)
Borough of West Mifflin residents. The Borough's page states that "Residential Multiple Item Pickup was created for Borough Residents who have abnormally large amounts of garbage", and the permit is issued over the counter at the Borough Building. Borough Code SS 235-23(A) obliges the Borough to collect garbage, trash and bulky wastes from individual residences and multifamily sources with three or fewer units; four or more units, and commercial, institutional and industrial establishments, must contract separately under SS 235-23(C).
Conditions and source
This is a permit for a quantity of trash, not a charge for an item. It applies where the set-out exceeds "a total area of trash that measures larger than an area 6 feet long by 4 feet wide" "and 3 feet high", and the Borough does not say whether an item is measured flat or on edge - which matters, because a queen mattress is about 60 by 80 inches. The cost is $125, the permit comes from the Borough Building, and "Payments can be made by cash or check, credit card payments will not be accepted." There is no online or phone booking. Set-out runs on the ordinary schedule: "Place trash out at the curb on normal pickup day", "Place the permit sticker on a bag/box/item that can be visibly seen from the street", and "All trash must be neatly bundled, bagged and/or stack in order to be collected", with "Loose debris left out will not be picked up." Collection is by the Borough's own Public Works Department, which "is also responsible for garbage collection, refuse collection, and recycling services" - Allegheny County runs no collection of its own and acts here only as a regulator through the Health Department's Article VIII. Borough Code SS 235-21(J) makes it unlawful to place solid waste at curbside before 5:00 pm on the day before scheduled collection, SS 235-21(K) makes it unlawful for containers to remain at curbside beyond the scheduled day, and SS 235-21(L) forbids storing waste for collection in a front yard. Collection runs Monday through Friday between 7:00 am and 3:00 pm under SS 235-23(G). A violation of the solid waste article draws a fine of not more than $1,000 plus costs and up to 30 days' imprisonment in default, with each day a separate violation, under SS 235-26. Questions go to 412-461-5300; the Borough's general line is 412-466-8170. Separately, the Borough collects white goods - refrigerators, freezers, ranges, washers, dryers and water heaters - and tree branches, and a mattress appears in neither of those itemized categories.
Not confirmed: Neither the Borough's page nor its Code names a mattress or a box spring. It cannot be established whether a single mattress set out alone requires this $125 permit or goes out with the ordinary weekly trash, and the Borough publishes no answer anywhere.
Not confirmed: Borough Code SS 235-23(D) requires "payment of any required special fees" for bulky waste collected "following prior arrangement with the Borough's collector", and no schedule sets a per-item bulky waste fee. The $125 permit is priced against a pile, so it cannot be read as that fee.
Not confirmed: No free bulk allowance of any kind is published - no items per week, month or year - and no fee is published for a large item below the Multiple Item Pickup threshold.
Not confirmed: No wrapping, bagging or plastic-sealing rule is published for a mattress, and no notice period is given for buying the permit before the normal pickup day.
Not confirmed: The Code's definition of RUBBISH names "bedding" among waste collected at least once a week while its definition of BULKY WASTE names appliances, furniture, auto parts, trees, branches and stumps. Which category a mattress falls into is unresolved and decides whether the permit is needed at all.

ABC-EZ Containers transfer station self-haul drop-off (mattresses and box springs carry a $30 fee each on top of the load minimum)
Open to the public with no residency rule published. The station's own page invites "Roofers, Contractors, Homeowners, Builders, Hauling Companies, General Public". The Allegheny County Health Department's Recycling Resource Directory lists it as one of four transfer stations in Allegheny County.
Conditions and source
Indoor drive-in transfer station in McKees Rocks. Disposal is priced at "$105.00 a ton" with a "Minimum charge per load $105.00", and the station adds a mattress charge on top: "For all dumpsters and transfer station, all box springs and mattresses will require a $30 fee for each one" — so a mattress and its box spring are $30.00 each. The station takes tires, wood, cement, metal, drywall, glass, brick, stone, large household appliances, HVAC material, plumbing fixtures and all other construction material. It refuses TVs, computers, copiers, fax machines, oils, paints, liquids or chemicals of any kind, propane tanks and fluorescent tubes, and "No Known Hazardous Waste, Asbestos, Radioactive Material, Hospital Waste". The company's own page publishes no hours; the county's Recycling Resource Directory, revised June 9, 2025, gives them as Monday through Friday 7:00 am to 4:45 pm.
- $105 — minimum charge per load at the transfer station; disposal above the minimum is $105.00 a ton
- Plus $30 — surcharge for each mattress and each box spring, charged on top of the $105.00 load minimum
Not confirmed: The page does not say whether material taken in here is landfilled or recycled, so the fate of a mattress is not established
Not confirmed: Hours come from the county directory rather than from the operator's own page

What West Mifflin itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- West Mifflin is one of the Allegheny County municipalities that collects for itself rather than contracting the work out: the Borough's own page states that "Public Works is also responsible for garbage collection, refuse collection, and recycling services", and no private hauler is named anywhere on it. That matters because Allegheny County runs no trash or bulky-item collection of its own, so the Borough is the only answer. The container rules are the limiting factor for anything large. Reusable containers must hold 10 to 40 gallons with a loaded weight of no more than 40 pounds, a tight-fitting cover and lifting handles; disposable plastic bags are accepted up to 30 gallons and 35 pounds loaded, securely tied at the top. A mattress meets none of those, so it cannot travel as ordinary trash. The page itemizes which large items the Borough does handle, and a mattress is not among them: white goods - refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers and similar large home appliances - are collected curbside on the regular trash day; tree branches and bushes are collected as needed after a call to Public Works; leaves are collected curbside for about six weeks in October and November and must be in brown compostable bags, with leaves in plastic bags left behind. For electronics the page points outward: Kelly Run landfill does not accept TVs, computers or computer peripherals, and Construction Junction accepts e-waste, batteries and light bulbs. Recycling is single stream, collected every other week, and the accepted list is aluminum cans and bottles, bi-metal cans and bottles, cardboard, clear, green and amber glass jars and bottles, newsprint, magazines, phone books, junk mail and catalogs, and plastics of all colors; food waste, windowpanes, mirrors, pizza boxes, Pyrex, Styrofoam of any kind, toner and ink cartridges and plastic bags are refused. The page cites Borough Code Chapter 20, Part 1, Section 103, Number 10 for the rule that curbside placement before 5:00 pm on the day before scheduled collection is unlawful. Pickup is delayed one day for New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Day, Easter Monday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Source Not confirmed: A mattress appears nowhere on the page. The large-item entries are white goods, branches and leaves, each itemized with its own handling rule, and bedding is absent from all of them. Under the standing rule that is a gap and not a refusal: the Borough has not said a mattress is excluded, only that it has not said a mattress is included. Not confirmed: The page gives no free bulk allowance of any kind - no items per week, per month or per year - and no fee for a single large item short of the $125 Multiple Item Pickup permit. Not confirmed: The page says white goods are "collected curbside on your regular trash day" while Borough Code SS 235-22(E)(8) says the Borough "shall, from time to time, schedule the date and time for collection of white goods, which shall be at least once in the spring and once in the fall" and that they "shall not be placed at the curb for collection until the day before the scheduled date of collection." The two do not agree, and neither covers a mattress. Not confirmed: No annual or quarterly residential refuse rate is published on the page, so it is not possible to say what West Mifflin households pay for collection or what that payment covers. Not confirmed: No recycling container fee amount is given; the page says only that recycling containers must be obtained from the Borough for a fee.
What Allegheny County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across West Mifflin and its neighbors.
- Allegheny County runs no trash or bulky-item collection of its own. The county's role in solid waste sits entirely with the Allegheny County Health Department, which describes itself as a regulator rather than an operator: its Solid Waste program "monitors municipal landfills, compost sites, and solid waste vehicles" for compliance, investigates complaints about odors, dust and illegal dumps, oversees about 40 facilities, and inspects roughly 400 solid waste vehicles a year. The page offers no county collection route, no county drop-off site and no mattress rule, and it says of the county's disposal capacity only that "The landfills in Allegheny County accept waste not only from County residences and businesses" — those landfills are privately operated, not county-run. With about 130 municipalities in the county, collection is arranged borough by borough and township by township with their own haulers. The City of Pittsburgh runs its own Department of Public Works collection, and the county page does not describe it; that is a city-level answer and belongs on the Pittsburgh page, not here. Source Not confirmed: The Health Department page names no fee, no residency rule and no mattress policy, because the county operates no collection or disposal service to attach them to
- The nearest thing Allegheny County publishes to a disposal answer is the Allegheny County Health Department's Recycling Resource Directory, revised June 9, 2025, which names every municipal waste landfill and transfer station in the county. Under "LANDFILLS IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY — MUNICIPAL WASTE LANDFILLS" it lists four: Allied Waste Imperial Landfill, 11 Boggs Road, Imperial, PA 15126 (Findlay Township); Kelly Run Landfill, Kelly Run Sanitation, Inc., 1500 Hayden Boulevard, Elizabeth, PA 15037 (Forward Township); Monroeville Landfill, United Waste Systems, Inc., 600 Thomas Street, Monroeville, PA 15146; and USA South Hills Landfill, 3100 Hill Road, Library, PA 15129 (South Park Township). Under "TRANSFER STATIONS IN ALLEGHENY COUNTY" it lists four: ABC-EZ Containers, 1000 Island Avenue, McKees Rocks, PA 15136, Monday through Friday 7:00 am to 4:45 pm; Boyd Roll-Off Services, 1107 Thompson Street, McKees Rocks, PA 15136, Monday through Saturday 8:00 am to 4:00 pm; Michael Brothers, 5331 McAnulty Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15236, Monday through Friday 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday 7:00 am to 1:00 pm; and Reserve Park Recycling, 408 Hoffman Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15212, Monday through Friday 7:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday 7:00 am to 1:00 pm, of which the directory says "Accept construction and demolition debris. Glass accepted certain days/times. Call for Hours and Pricing." All eight are privately operated; the county owns none of them. The directory's own material index is itemized down to packing peanuts, pallets, phone books and polystyrene packaging, and it carries no entry for mattresses, bedding or furniture — the closest headings are "Appliances, used", "Building materials" and "Scrap metals". Its absence from that list is a gap in county guidance, not a statement that mattresses are refused anywhere. Source Not confirmed: The directory publishes no gate rate, minimum charge or mattress fee for any of the four landfills or four transfer stations Not confirmed: It does not say which of them accept self-haul loads from households rather than from haulers and contractors only Not confirmed: It carries no mattress, bedding or furniture entry anywhere in its material index
- The only county-wide collections an Allegheny County resident can bring anything to are the Hard to Recycle and Household Chemical events the Pennsylvania Resources Council runs with the Allegheny County Health Department and Allegheny County Parks as sponsors, and neither takes a mattress. Six of the seven 2026 Hard to Recycle dates were in Allegheny County: May 9 at the Pittsburgh Shrine Center in Harmar Township, August 1 at McKeesport Area High School, August 22 at the Boyce Park Ski Lodge, September 26 at the Settlers Cabin Wave Pool, October 17 at Buncher Commerce Park in Leetsdale, and October 31 at the PPG and Pittsburgh Penguins Melody Tent Lot C near downtown Pittsburgh. The fee schedule is itemized to the dollar — $2 per 4-foot light tube, $5 per printer, $5 per microwave, $6 per car tire with no rim, $10 per small Freon appliance, $20 per computer monitor, $35 per television, $45 per projection or console television — on top of a "$5 fee per car charged for UNLIMITED DISPOSAL" of batteries, bulbs, cables, computer equipment, copiers, scanners, DVD players, phones, servers, shredders, Styrofoam blocks, toasters, blenders and video game consoles. Mattresses, box springs, bedding and furniture appear nowhere on either list. These are drive-through events for electronics, tires, foam and chemicals; they are not a bulky-waste route, and nothing on the page suggests a mattress would be taken. Source Not confirmed: The itemized accepted list and fee schedule name no mattress, box spring or furniture — an absence from an exhaustive list, not a published refusal Not confirmed: The page states no residency requirement, so whether attendance is limited to residents of the host county is not established

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.
