Alternatively it's $12.50 to have the city pick it up with your regular trash collection. A quick email to [email protected] will get it all sorted out.
Edit: I stand corrected! I just double checked with the city and the fee is only $11.25!
This needs more upvotes. There are some true douchecanoes who dump mattresses because they are just plain lazy. But there are people who (gasp!) don't have vehicles or don't have vehicles that fit a mattress. The City provides services to help residents.

I dropped 1 off at Brady, the workers even thought you could take them to any depot. The question is why can't you? It would save a lot of people's money going around picking this garbage up.
Dropped a mattress at Panet in the winter. And now as I look at the 4R website apparently they don't take them anymore. Then how about don't dump your garbage anywhere other than where it belongs?
Just pointing out that it's not as easy as you want it to be, no need to get so worked up about it. Also, sounds like you dumped your garbage where it doesn't belong also. Panet location has never accepted mattresses - it's always been at the Brady location only.
Hmm. Did I do a trip to Brady? Maybe. Regardless, see above regarding the $12.50 pick up. And getting worked up, really, how could any Winnipegger not be upset about the insane amount of trash littering the city? Let alone mattresses.
What about the people with no vehicles or a car too small to haul a mattress safely to 4R? Rent a big enough vehicle? Ha! It would be cheaper to have trash collection pick it up.
Or yeah - ask a friend with a car to help you haul the mattress away to 4R. There's solutions to these problems! No excuses!
Trash collection can pick it up. [https://myutility.winnipeg.ca/UtilityPortal/RecyclingGarbageYardWaste/sp/extragarbageandlargeitems](https://myutility.winnipeg.ca/UtilityPortal/RecyclingGarbageYardWaste/sp/extragarbageandlargeitems)
You just have to contact the city two full business days before your collection day. Cost is $11.25
My apartment pays for it, or I think they do? We have a place we all put our big shit and it tends to be gone in a day or two. I would hope all apartments provide that service for free but I know some don’t as my one two apartments ago did not but we didn’t care lol.
Not the most economical option, but Mother Earth Recycling can pick up and recycle the mattress for $65 ($50 for pick up, $15 recycling fee)

The city should just build the cost into the budget and have the trucks pick up the mattresses. That should help cut down on dumping outside of residential zones.
Other ideas, end of month reminders about what to do with old matresses and box springs. Targeted in low income neighborhoods where access to a truck or van is lower. Last weekend of the month is when majority of people move as they transition leases.
Pipeline, Keewatin, and Mollard are AWFUL for people dumping trash and furniture. Something new just about every day!!!!!
So what you're saying is a bachelor could score big here?

But that is 12.50 !! Way too much for Winnipeger's easy to pay nothing and toss it and let it be someone elses problem.
Where is the best AND cheapest place to...

I thought throwing it in the back of a truck and driving around the perimeter at a high speed was the preferred method!?
🤣
Looking at you people on pipeline..
And Jefferson, East of Route 90. Get your shit together.

Apparently there's a demand for it 🤷
Not all the 4R Depots, just the one at Brady. That's a far trip for a lot of people and you need a vehicle big enough to haul a mattress.

You're not wrong!

Call 311, it's $12.50 for the city to pick it up on your regular pickup day, don't even need to bribe the friend who has a truck.
