• Marysville Utility Billing publishes the city's set-out rules: "Please place your bins at the curb by 5:00am on the day of collection, garbage collection times will vary and are not guaranteed to be the same time on your day of service. Bins should be in an accessible place abutting the street or alley that is used by the city garbage trucks to service your property. Please place all bins with lids opening toward roadway and maintain at least two feet of clearance between each bin. On the day of collection, after the garbage is collected, please remove the bin from the curb." Monthly-service customers are told to "put your garbage cart out on the first full week of each month on your normal collection day", with the 2026 weeks listed. Source
• Marysville Municipal Code Chapter 7.08 is the ordinance behind the city-run service. MMC 7.08.030 makes it compulsory: "The owner and occupant of all occupied premises within the city of Marysville shall be required to use the garbage collection and disposal service provided by the city utility department," with a narrow exemption for single-family lots of two acres or more, 300 feet or more from the right-of-way, using no other city utility and not served by a private hauler. MMC 7.08.040 makes it "unlawful for any person, firm or corporation, other than the city of Marysville, to engage in the business of collection, hauling or disposal of garbage refuse or waste ... within the city limits without having obtained a franchise". MMC 7.08.065(1) sets the set-out window in the ordinance itself: "Within but no sooner than 24 hours of the time of collection, it shall be the duty of each garbage customer to place all garbage containers ... in an accessible place abutting the street or alley used by the city garbage trucks," situated "at the edge of the public right-of-way, or at the curbline if such exists", with lids opening toward the roadway and "at least two feet of clearance between each cart, can, or container"; 7.08.065(4) requires removal after collection and warns that "Any container not so removed within two business days may be removed by the utility, and a fee will be charged to redeliver the container." MMC 7.08.080 states "It is unlawful to dump or deposit any garbage or refuse upon any street or alley or on any public or private property except in a receptacle intended for that purpose and with the implied or express consent of the owner of said receptacle." MMC 7.08.055 prohibits scavenging from a set-out container by anyone other than the city or its contractor, and MMC 7.08.067 provides that where the city has to clean up litter around a customer's receptacles "the customer's garbage and refuse bill for that month shall be doubled." MMC 7.08.110 leaves the rates themselves to "the master fee schedule adopted by resolution of the city council", effective January 1, 2026. Source Not confirmed: Chapter 7.08 contains no bulky-item or oversized-item provision at all: the bulk item program and its prices exist only in the rate page and the master fee schedule, not in the ordinance.
• The penalty for a Marysville garbage violation is set out in the city's enforcement code. MMC 7.08.150 says a violator "shall be punished as set forth in MMC 4.02.040(3)(g)", and that fine schedule lists "7 Health and Sanitation / 7.08 Garbage Collection" at "$150" for a first noncommercial violation and "$250" commercial, "$300" and "$500" for a second, with the note that "All third and subsequent violations of the MMC on this schedule within 2 years are a misdemeanor". MMC 4.02.040(3)(g)(i) adds that "Each day of violation shall constitute a separate civil infraction." Source
• Marysville's Public Works page sets out the scale and the schedule of the city-run service: "The Public Works Solid Waste Division provides garbage pick-up to about 22,500 homes, hauling 2,300 tons of garbage per month, and is one of only two cities in Snohomish County that provide citizens with service at a rate competitive with regional private solid waste companies." Collection runs "weekly, Monday through Friday", and "Garbage is collected every official holiday except July 4th, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day," after which "garbage, recycling & yard waste will be picked up a day later that week." On snow: "If snow or other events prevent safe collection of garbage or recycling, the City will collect double on the next collection day or, if circumstances permit, later in the collection week," and "there is no credit given as all materials will be collected." Questions go to "the Utility Billing Department at (360) 363-8001", and the division is based at "80 Columbia Avenue, Marysville, WA 98270". Source Not confirmed: The page does not mention bulky items or mattresses, and does not say whether a bulk item pickup is affected by the holiday one-day slip or by a weather delay.

• Ecology's 1-800-RECYCLE locator (1800recycle.wa.gov) lists 'Home & Garden - Mattresses' as a searchable material; hotline 1-800-732-9253, Mon-Fri 9am-3pm. Ecology's How to Recycle page also directs residents to county or city solid waste officials. Source
• There is no mattress recycling program in Washington State, and the absence is worth stating because both neighbors have one. The Mattress Recycling Council, which runs the Bye Bye Mattress collection network, says of itself: "We currently provide resources, education and support for programs in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island." Washington is not among them. A Washington resident has no free state-funded drop-off of the kind an Oregonian twenty miles away in Milton-Freewater or Hermiston has, and no Bye Bye Mattress collection site to look up. What the county charges at the gate is what the resident actually pays. Source
