How to get rid of a mattress in Ivins, 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.

Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

• Ivins City runs a drop-off of its own, and it is the one thing in the St. George area that a neighboring town does not have. Under Additional Services on the City's Solid Waste Disposal page, Ivins City states: "The City provides dumpsters on Saturdays at least once per month for green waste and bulk items." It gives the location in the same breath — "The dumpsters are located at 400 N 100 W." — and tells residents to "Check the City's calendar for the next date" rather than publishing a fixed Saturday. The page prices nothing for it and names no items as excluded from the dumpsters; its separate list of what may not go in the weekly cart ("Do not place hazardous waste, electronics, dirt, hot ashes, or construction debris in the can") is written about the curbside container, not about the Saturday dumpsters. Source Not confirmed: Ivins publishes no mattress policy for its Saturday bulk item dumpsters, no fee, no opening hours and no proof-of-residency rule, and no fixed calendar date — only 'at least once per month'. Whether a mattress may be put in them is not established, so the site is recorded as a finding rather than listed as a drop-off.
• Ivins City's weekly collection is the district's, not the City's, and the City's page is explicit about which number to call for what. Ivins states that "Trash is collected once per week on Mondays" and that "Recyclables are collected every other week on the same day as your garbage." Its set-out rule is the City's own wording: "Place your container at the curb by 6:00 AM on collection day, with the lid closed and the can facing the street", with "at least 3 feet of clearance between the can and other objects (cars, mailboxes, other cans)", instructions to "Bag loose trash to prevent litter and wind-blown debris" and not to "overfill cans or place trash on top of the lid". A missed pickup is reported within 24 hours to "the District's contractor Republic Services at (435)-773-4973"; a missing or damaged can means "Call WCSWD at 435-673-2813". Billing is the City's: "Solid waste charges are included in your monthly utility bill from Ivins City", with billing questions to Ivins City Utility Billing at (435) 628-0606. For anything the cart will not take, the page sends residents to the county landfill, which it gives as "330 North Landfill Road, Washington, UT", open "Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM; Saturday 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM", phone "(435) 674-7623", and it warns that "Fees apply for bulk loads, appliances, green waste, or construction debris." Illegal dumping is reported to "Ivins Code Enforcement at (435) 628-0606". Source Not confirmed: The Ivins City page gives the Washington County Landfill address as 330 North Landfill Road while the district's own landfill page gives 325 N Landfill Rd. The difference was not resolved; the district's own page is the better source for the address.
• Ivins City's code hands residential collection away in a single sentence, and contains no bulky item program of any kind. Section 7.03.103 of the Ivins City Code reads: "Collection and disposal of all residential solid waste within the corporate limits of the city shall be provided exclusively by the district through its authorized subcontractor, Allied/Red Rock, except for residential solid waste hauled to the landfill by the owner or occupant of the residential property." The district is defined in 7.03.101 as "The Washington County special service district no. 1", and Allied/Red Rock as "Allied Waste Transportation, Inc., DBA Red Rock Waste Services, Inc." Section 7.03.102 requires that "All solid waste generated within the incorporated areas of the city, except for hazardous waste, lead acid batteries and used oil, shall be transported and disposed of at the Washington County landfill." Section 7.03.104 makes an approved 60 or 94 gallon automated container mandatory for each residential unit. The money is a pass-through rather than a City rate: section 7.03.106 provides that the monthly fee "shall be as set forth in the city consolidated fee schedule and shall include a pass through of the charges imposed by the Washington County special service district no. 1 (solid waste district), plus a charge to offset the city's cost of billing, collecting and processing the fees", and section 7.03.107 makes that fee payable "when such service is available, regardless of whether such service is actually utilized". Section 7.03.108 makes payments delinquent after the twentieth of the following month, after which they "bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum until paid in full". Section 7.03.105 says only that waste is placed for collection "in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Allied/Red Rock agreement", an exhibit the code does not reproduce. The chapter defines no bulky waste, sets no item limit and names no mattress. Source Not confirmed: Ivins's code has no bulky waste definition and no large item allowance, and section 7.03.105 defers the collection rules to an uncodified Allied/Red Rock agreement that the code does not publish. Whether a mattress may be set out at an Ivins curb, and on what terms, is not established by the code. Not confirmed: The monthly residential solid waste amount is set in the Ivins City consolidated fee schedule, which is not reproduced in the code and was not located on the City's website.
• Ivins's litter chapter is where a dumped mattress lands, and the definition reaches bedding by name. Section 7.05.102 of the Ivins City Code defines RUBBISH as "Nonputrescible solid wastes consisting of both combustible and noncombustible wastes, such as paper, wrapping, cigarettes, cardboard, tin cans, yard clippings, leaves, wood, glass, bedding, crockery and similar materials", and defines LITTER as "'Garbage', 'refuse' and 'rubbish', as defined in this section, and all other waste material which, if thrown or deposited as herein prohibited, tends to create a danger to public health, safety, welfare or appearance of the municipality." The prohibitions are short and absolute. Section 7.05.201: "No person shall throw or deposit litter in or on any street, sidewalk or other public place except: (1) In authorized receptacles for collection or in official municipal garbage dumps; or (2) For collection as authorized by the city council." Section 7.05.209: "No person shall throw or deposit litter on any open or vacant private property whether or not owned by such person." Section 7.05.205 covers anything thrown from a vehicle and 7.05.206 requires a load to be carried so that nothing blows out of it. Source
• What a litter or dumping violation costs in Ivins comes from the general penalty chapter, because the litter chapter sets no figure of its own. Section 1.04.105.(2)(a) of the Ivins City Code provides that "An offense designated as a misdemeanor or any act prohibited or declared to be unlawful in this code or other ordinances of this city, when no other specification as to punishment or category is made, is a class B misdemeanor." Section 1.04.104 then caps the fine: "A person convicted of violating a city ordinance may, in addition to any term of imprisonment imposed, be sentenced to pay a fine not to exceed: (1) One thousand dollars ($1,000.00) for a class B misdemeanor conviction; and (2) Seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) for a class C misdemeanor conviction." Section 1.04.102 allows up to six months' imprisonment for a class B misdemeanor. The clock matters as much as the amount: section 1.04.105.(3) provides that "In all instances where the violation of this code or any city ordinance hereafter enacted is a continuing violation, a separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which the violation occurs or continues to occur." Ivins publishes no bail or fee schedule attaching a set dollar figure to a litter citation. Source
