2City curbside pickup in Milton
Milton’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
City of Milton bulk item collection, scheduled with John's Disposal
City of Milton households on the city's residential refuse and recycling contract, under which "Johns Disposal is the provider for refuse and recycling collection." The rural Town of Milton is a separate government with its own arrangement and is not covered here.
Conditions and source
The resident, not the city, places the call: "Effective January 1, 2023 residents must call Johns Disposal (262-473-4700 or 888-473-4701) to schedule their bulk item collections," or email office@johnsdisposal.com, and "collections will now be made any week of the month" rather than only on the old third Wednesday. "You will still receive up to one collection per month at no additional charge." "City of Milton Refuse/Recycle Day is Wednesday." Bulk collection covers "items that do not fit in your garbage or recycling cart, such as: furniture, extra bags of garbage, tires (up to two per month, maximum eight per year), waste oil (must be in 1 gallon or larger containers, sealed, and labeled), etc." Set-out is bracketed on both sides: "Carts and bulky trash should not be placed at curb before 6 p.m. the night before collection and must be out by 6 a.m. on collection day." The recycling cart is no route for a large item, since it "is emptied every other week and not emptied by the bulk collection crews." Electronic waste goes free to Public Works at 150 Northside Dr.
Not confirmed: Neither the city's Refuse & Recycling page nor its 2026 Collection Schedules names a mattress or box spring among the bulk items collected. Furniture, extra bags, tires and waste oil are named; bedding is named neither as included nor as excluded.
Not confirmed: The schedule says "Additional pickups can be scheduled for a fee" but sets no amount, and no city or hauler schedule naming that fee was found.
