Default Will Village trash take mattress?

Does the Villages trash service take box spring and mattress on the curb?

Technically you are supposed to call for a special pickup.

Call for a bulk pickup. It’s like $10 and they take up to 3 items. It is a scheduled service.

When we had ours picked up a it had to be covered in a full pastic cover with zipper closure for "health" reasons. May have changed since but at that time pickups were also free which was about 4 yrs ago.

They certainly will, just cut them up into small pieces and put them in trash bags. They will take anything that is in a trash bag.

Watching you cut up a box spring and mattress into small pieces would make a great video for UTube.

About a year ago I set out a queen size mattress with my trash on the normal collection day. They took it. That is in the Southern Oaks area. Maybe our service is different.

It amazing what you can do with a razor knife, sledge hammer, and a swazall. Last year I busted up an old dishwasher and got it into two trash bags.

My wife’s elderly aunt actually did this (God rest her soul). She was off her rocker for sure but she actually bagged a whole full mattress and was trying to take down the box springs when my wife intercepted her in the act
