City collection Mesquite does not name furniture on the bulky page, which is written as items too large or bulky for the normal pickup with an eight cubic yard cap, so the piece is confirmed with the division first. The bulky collection is part of the residential service with no per-item charge, but the city publishes no furniture item list, so call the Solid Waste Division on 972-216-6285 and confirm that the piece is collected before it goes to the curb.
City collection No Mesquite page names a mattress. It has to be confirmed against the eight cubic yard bulky allowance before it is set out. No mattress rule or per-item price is published. Call the Solid Waste Division on 972-216-6285 and confirm whether the mattress and box spring are collected on the weekly bulky route, where the limit is eight cubic yards with an administrative fee for an over-limit pile.

The local disposal guide
Will the city take it?
Mesquite runs its own solid waste division. Household trash is collected twice a week in Dallas County and once a week in Kaufman County from a bagged, lidded container of no more than 48 gallons, and there is a strict set-out window: nothing earlier than 5:30 p.m. the day before pickup and nothing later than 7:30 a.m. on the day itself. Large items and large brush leave on a separate weekly collection, Monday through Friday by area, at the front curb only, with a cap of eight cubic yards and a 24-hour set-out window. Appliances are named and collected every Wednesday at no additional charge on a call to 972-216-6285, electronics go free to the city Convenience Center on Lawson Road, and everything collected from the yard is composted at the Municipal Composting Facility. Bigger or tougher loads run through the Cost Plus programme or an open-top container, and household chemicals go to the Dallas County Home Chemical Collection Center on Plano Road.
