Dawna!
I'll repeat what's already been said. Call the City (and follow Sharon's advice on that), but do not pick up the mattress and do not encourage a friend with a pickup truck to do it. The City has the proper bed-bug-proof equipment and clothing to deal with it. We don't. When the bug problem first started, and nobody knew, several employees the CVCBD pick up the bugs in the line of duty, which then infested their houses and made their lives miserable.

I wish I had a pickup truck to help you out, but I do not. Good luck and I hope you find one. Sharon L. Guida _____ From: "Sharon L.

I always get the complaint number and, if the problem is not resolved timely, I call and send an email to Matt Bradby, at CVCBD Sanitation at 410-467-4409 and [email protected] , with the complaint number, description of the problem, the exact location of the problem with nearest address, and the date I made the 311 call. Although CVCBD no longer picks up mattresses because of the bed bug problem, Matt will follow up the complaint number with DPW on any chronic problem until it is resolved. The sooner you call 311 and let Matt know about a chronic problem, the sooner it will be handled by the City or CVCBD. Sharon L.

With a mattress, there is a significant risk that there are bedbugs. For a while, the City was not picking up mattresses, but I recall reading that they now will do so. Let them deal with it. They are trained to deal with possibly infested upholstery. CVCBD also stopped picking up mattresses.

It has been lying on the sidewalk on 29th Street between Saint Paul and Lovegrove alley for quite some time. My car isnt big enough. I am able to help move it if someone has the right size vehicle.
