Yes that is always done on commercial sites. They discuss specs and procedures and the contractor need to assess the facility

Haha yup. Learned that the hard way when I borrowed my work van to bring my old couch there and they denied me.

Try the service Load Up to remove it. I had them remove a broken sofa from my apartment for only $99. I live in Rockville but they probably have a service in Baltimore.

You asked to put it in the dumpster! Naw you pull that shit out in the middle of the night, you pay enough rent to let them pay for the removal.

If you are not able to arrange for it to be disposed of properly in time, you may simply need to take it with you and arrange for disposal at your new location.

That’s considered a watercraft, do you have your registration for that?

I wonder if they've changed policies or if the degree of strictness varies with how busy they are and/or who's working that day. I've gone on days where they've looked over my load somewhat carefully and written down my ID info to make sure that I wasn't exceeding the daily/weekly cap, but then I've gone other times, including twice this week where they've just waved me through. There was a Uhaul van there this week, and every time I go, it's kind of obvious that the majority of the pickup trucks are doing something commercial, even if they don't have any writing emblazoned on the side.

Does your apartment building have a bulk trash pickup? Or another building they own that has bulk trash dumpsters?

Please be careful doing this!! Fiberglass contamination is a MAJOR issue and will contaminate the area you destroy this in. Fiberglass is in a lot of mattresses. This can cause major health issues and problems for those exposed.

shrink wrap it

Yep this is the right way of doing it. Problem is 311 kinda sucks, you have to schedule a time waaaaay in advance to have them pick it up so they won't even pick it up for like 3 months from now cuz they're apparently "booked" smh

I could dump it in the Harbor 😀 omg problem solved

ngl I'm considering trying to destroy it so I can dump it but mattresses for some bizarre reason are built like horcruxes lmao

They'll take the mattress for sure, just based on my experience it can't be in a vehicle that looks commercial (has words on the side)

really glad you told me this cuz I was looking into dumping it at Sisson St

Leave it an an alley by the building and forget about it like any normal baltimoron

Yea we paid a guy 40 bucks to take ours quick and easy no hassle

That’s so annoying!

Damn that’s crazy! What about cockeysville?

Same thing happened to me. I had a uhaul and they wouldn’t let me dump anything so I had to go down to a pay dump in the county. Really messed up my day of moving.

Maybe that made a difference! This was only a couple months ago.

OP, this is the answer. Bit of a delay, but free!

I'm glad it worked for you! It was such an obnoxious experience. We ended up writing to our councilperson

bulk trash is a great option

When I moved I used our rented uhaul to take mattresses to the Sisson st dump - no issues except they made us park the uhaul at the lower dumpsters and carry the mattress up the ramp and throw it over the edge
