Gurnee weekly bulk item collection (LRS)Pickup service · GurneeFree
How it works
Under the Village's franchise with LRS, Gurnee residents may place one bulk item (furniture, tables, chairs, mattresses, box springs and similar) at the curb each week on garbage day at no additional cost. Mattresses and box springs must be bagged or wrapped. Electronics, refrigerators, freezers and paint are not accepted at the curb.
Cost & rules
- One bulk item per week, next to your garbage cart on your regular collection day.
- Before you go: Place in a plastic mattress bag or wrap securely.

Count each piece separately: mattress, box spring and topper can be priced differently.
Check for moisture, mold or bed bugs; many recyclers refuse damaged bedding.
Confirm per-piece pricing and whether wrapping or an appointment is required.
