You can put mattresses out for heavy trash in Houston, but only during even-numbered Junk Waste months: February, April, June, August, October, and December. Odd-numbered months are reserved strictly for clean vegetative Tree Waste. If you put a mattress out during an odd month, collection crews will leave it at the curb with a red violation tag, and the city can issue fines up to 2,000 dollars. Unlike cities such as New York or Las Vegas, Houston does not require mattresses to be sealed in plastic bags, though bags keep them dry in rain. Mattresses count toward your overall 8-cubic-yard residential heavy trash limit.
Select the items you need collected to calculate pile size, mattress wrapping requirements, and set-out regulations.
