Easton Begins Charging $30 a Mattress for Bulk Pickup

The town's Nov. 3 notice says payment is due before the pickup and the fee matches current landfill disposal costs. The same $30 appears in a fee schedule on the Town Council's Nov. 2 agenda.

EASTON, MARYLAND — Easton residents who want the town's Bulk Pickup team to haul away a mattress now pay $30 per mattress, and the money is due before the pickup happens, according to a town notice posted Nov. 3. The notice says the fee is effective immediately and is meant to match current landfill disposal costs.

Payment can be made by credit or debit card, check or cash at the Town Office, 14 S. Harrison St., and the town says it must be received before the scheduled pickup. The notice also reminds residents that all bulk materials for disposal must be scheduled in advance.

Two phone numbers are posted for the next step. The notice lists 410-822-2525 for scheduling information and payment arrangements, and the Public Works bulk-pickup page lists 410-822-0513 for arranging a pickup. The page also carries the online request form.

The $30 figure also appears in the town's fee schedule. The Town Council's Nov. 2 agenda included Resolution 6222, as amended, which revises the town's license, application, permit, inspection, certificate and other fees. The posted council materials list "Mattress Disposal" at $30.00 under the municipal solid waste disposal fees.
