About Curbside Manner

Curbside Manner turns city sanitation rules into short, plain-English guides: how to get rid of a mattress, a couch, or a pile of bulk trash without getting fined or leaving it on the curb.

How we write these guides

• We only use facts published on the city's official website (or its official 311 portal).
• Every page links to its official source and shows the date we last checked it.
• If we can't verify something on an official page — a fee, phone number, hours, or address — we leave it out.

Disclaimer

Curbside Manner is an independent site and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any city or government agency. Rules, schedules and fees change. Always confirm with your city before setting items out. This site is for general information only.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site, including the “Want it gone today?” button, point to paid junk removal services. If you book through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes what we report about city rules — free city options are always listed first.
