You can dispose of a mattress, box spring, or futon with your regular trash.
Before you put it out for collection, you must seal it in a plastic bag. Bags can be any color except red or orange. This rule helps prevent the spread of bed bugs.
If you don't dispose of mattresses or box springs properly, they won't be collected, and you may receive a $100 fine.
The City does not provide mattress or box spring bags or covers. You can get them at department stores, home improvement stores, and moving supply centers.
