Mattress Removal in Cato, New York

Set out mattresses and box springs on your trash-only day, NOT your recycling day. Bedding items like mattresses and box springs MUST be sealed in plastic bags (to prevent the spread of bed bugs). If you do not dispose of a mattress or box spring correctly, you may be fined up to $300.

Dependable Disposal provides garbage collection, recycling services, and special pickups for large items like mattresses.

Prepare Household Items for Disposal Create separate piles for the different types of household waste. You can also bundle similar materials, such as tying newspapers or flattening cardboard boxes, together but take care to never mix hazardous materials.

Yes, NYC Sanitation (DSNY) will pick up couches as free bulk items for residents, but you must place them curbside correctly: after 4 PM the night before your last trash collection day (or 6 PM for some areas), ensuring they're at the curb (not blocking sidewalk/street) and manageable by two people. You can set out up to six bulk items per collection day, with no appointment needed for standard furniture like couches, but always check the DSNY website for your specific address rules.
