Disposal of Mattresses and Box Springs

Notice to Weatherly Borough residents

County Waste has recently informed the Borough Office of a new requirement concerning the disposal of mattresses and box springs for trash pick-up.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, All MATTRESSES & BOX SPRINGS MUST be wrapped in PLASTIC and sealed with a type of DUCT TAPE or STRAPPING TAPE in order for them to be picked up by the hauler. If they are not covered, they will NOT be picked up with the trash.

This requirement has been put into effect by County Waste due to issues caused by bed bugs affecting the staff and equipment.
