Furniture, Mattresses, and Rugs

Many furniture items — like bed frames, bookcases, couches and sofas, desks, dressers, and tables and chairs — are too large to fit in a bin or bag. Find out more about setting out large items.

Furniture

Take furniture apart before setting out for collection if possible. Bundle small pieces together and tape or tie with twine.

Set out furniture that is mostly metal or plastic with recycling.

Glass furniture and mirrors cannot be recycled. Set these out with trash. For safety, double bag broken glass and tape large glass items before setting out for collection.

All other furniture (mostly wood or fiberboard) should be set out at the curb the night before your trash-only collection day (NOT your recycling day).

Mattresses and Box Springs

Mattresses and box springs MUST be sealed in plastic bags (to prevent the spread of bed bugs) and set out with trash.

Rugs and Carpet

Roll up and securely tie carpets and rugs with twine. Set out with trash.
