Mattress Removal in Brogue, Pennsylvania

Limit to two items per week. Bag and seal mattresses and box springs in plastic mattress bags for curbside pickup. (They do not have to be bagged if taken to a sanitation convenience center.)

The best way to get rid of a mattress is to recycle it through local programs, use your waste hauler's bulk pickup, get a retailer take-back, donate if gently used, or hire a junk removal service, with recycling being eco-friendly as much of it can be repurposed into carpet padding, insulation, etc., especially in places like California with mandated programs. Check your city/county website (e.g., CleanLA for LA County) or resources like Bye Bye Mattress for drop-off sites or pickup info.

To dispose of an old TV for free in Pennsylvania, use Goodwill (central/SE PA), check your county/municipality for free drop-off events or facilities (like Lycoming County Landfill for residents), or contact your trash hauler for special collection options, as PA law bans trashing electronics, with Goodwill and some county sites offering free drop-off for residents, though large/Freon TVs might have fees or specific rules.

Yes, pizza boxes are generally recyclable in Pennsylvania, but you must remove all food, cheese, and grease, separating the clean cardboard (like the lid) for recycling and trashing the soiled parts. While older guidelines said grease was a problem, studies show paper mills can handle normal levels of cheese and grease, so focus on removing loose food and liners, and check your specific municipality's rules.
