Mattresses and box springs must be bagged or wrapped. Electronics, refrigerators, freezers and paint are not accepted at the curb.
Cost & rules

- Before you go: Place in a plastic mattress bag or wrap securely.

Don’t assume a box spring is priced like a mattress; ask separately.
Tell the operator if it’s a split (two-piece) box spring; some charge per piece.
Check for moisture, mold or bed bugs before you go.
