How to get rid of a mattress in Somers, WI.

• Somers ran a free bulk drop-off day for its own residents and published exactly what it would and would not take. The Village's notice said "Garbage contractor Johns Disposal will have a truck available on Oct. 25, 2025, from 8 a.m. to noon" at the Somers Village/Town Hall, 7511 12th Street, alongside the e-cycling, shredding and drug take-back events held there the same day. "The service is free to Somers residents. You will be asked to show proof of residence at the event." The load limit was "no more than what can be carried in one truck bed or single-axle trailer full (not to exceed 10 feet in length)," and "The service is offered on a first-come first served basis and will end once the garbage truck is full." The Village said "furniture, bagged waste, carpeting (cut into 4-foot sections rolled and bundled together), etc., will be permitted" and that "No appliances, automotive batteries, scrap metal or recyclable materials will be allowed." Mattresses appear on neither side of that line. The Village's garbage page says an annual bulk pickup has been organized since 2025 and asks residents to watch the website for the date. Source Not confirmed: Whether a mattress could be dropped off at the annual Somers bulk day is not established: the Village's permitted list ends in "etc." and its not-allowed list names only appliances, automotive batteries, scrap metal and recyclable materials Not confirmed: No date has been published for the next annual Somers bulk drop-off day
• Somers also has a year-round bulk pickup by request, with no monthly cap published, which is how it differs from its neighbors on the same hauler. Johns Disposal Service's page headed "Somers" lists the bulk day as "By Request" and asks residents to call 262-473-4700, Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to noon, adding "We recommend that no items are placed at the curb prior to scheduling collection." The page itemizes what is taken: furniture; carpeting cut into 4-foot sections, rolled and bundled; large cardboard boxes emptied and flattened; appliances including those containing freon; automotive batteries; tires "up to 2 per month / pickup, maximum 8 per year"; drain oil and antifreeze sealed in 1 to 5 gallon containers and clearly marked; larger items such as hot tubs and pianos cut up or disassembled into parts of 50 lbs or less; paint cans empty and dry or solidified; and construction materials in containers of 32 gallons or less with boards cut to 4 feet or shorter. "All items must weigh no more than 50 lbs and be easily manageable by one person." Yard waste, hazardous materials and electronics are outside the bulk program, and electronics are collected for a fee on a separate special pickup. Unlike the hauler's Salem Lakes and Bristol pages, the Somers page states no monthly or yearly cap on bulk collections other than for tires. Mattresses are named nowhere on it. Source Not confirmed: Whether a mattress qualifies for the by-request bulk collection in Somers is not established: the hauler's itemized Somers list neither names nor excludes mattresses Not confirmed: No per-pickup bulk charge is published for Somers; the Village says the cost of collection sits in the annual tax bill
