Why can't I just put it at the curb?
In most San Diego County cities you can — but only during scheduled bulky-item pickup windows (often quarterly) and only if it's bagged in clear plastic per the hauler's rules. If you miss the window or skip the bag, the city will not take it and you're looking at a code enforcement notice.
What if the mattress has bedbugs?
Tell us on the phone. We'll bring extra heavy-gauge plastic, seal it on site, and mark the load. Bedbugs don't disqualify it from recycling — but the sealing protects the next stops and our truck.
