How to get rid of a mattress in Clearfield, UT.

Companies that come to your home and carry the mattress out, so you need no vehicle. The prices below are starting prices unless stated — stairs, box springs and extra items add to them.

What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.

• Clearfield City runs no bulky-item curbside collection, but it does run a neighborhood roll-off dumpster program, which is the only city route for anything too big for a cart. The city's resident services page states that "Clearfield City contracts residential garbage removal with Waste Management of Utah," collects trash weekly in city-issued cans only, and collects recycling every other week in a blue 96-gallon container. Cans go to the curb by about 5:00 a.m. on pickup day, may go out the night before, and come back within 24 hours. The city does not collect from multi-unit or commercial customers. Under "Neighborhood Dumpsters" the page gives a total cost of $134 and says the applicant must find two neighbors who will participate and sign the agreement, with City Hall at 801-525-2701 arranging drop-off and pickup. Green waste is $10.50 a month and the green can doubles as a second garbage can from December through March, with the material going to Wasatch Integrated's facility in Layton. Questions about damaged cans or missed pickups go to 801-525-2701. Source Not confirmed: The page says nothing about mattresses in either direction.
• Clearfield City Code Title 5, Chapter 2, Garbage and Refuse, contains no bulky-item or large-item provision at all: the chapter runs from "Services Provided By City" to "Containers; Requirements, Fees" and describes nothing but an automated cart system. Section 5-2-2 makes participation compulsory — "All residents of the city are required to use the garbage collection system" — and section 5-2-5(C) issues each residence in a building of ten units or fewer one 90-gallon container, with additional cans at the monthly fee in the city's fee schedule. Section 5-2-5(D) sets the curb rule: emptied containers "must be removed from the street the same day they were emptied," which is stricter than the 24-hour rule most Davis County towns use. Section 5-2-4(C) is a local saving worth knowing: "There shall be no monthly garbage fee required for those who temporarily leave the city for four (4) consecutive weeks or more," on an affidavit that the can will be secured and unused, waived on complete months only, with the resident otherwise liable for the can and burn plant fees. Since July 1, 2007 the city has not collected from commercial, industrial or multi-unit buildings of more than ten units per meter. The code is current through Ordinance 2025-26, passed December 9, 2025. Source Not confirmed: Title 5 Chapter 2 sets no illegal-dumping offense or penalty amount; whether one sits in the Nuisances chapter was not established. Not confirmed: No source confirms a local reuse outlet in Clearfield with a published mattress policy.
