COVID Means Wrapping Mattresses On Bulk Trash Day In Malvern Boro

MALVERN, PA — This year's bulk trash pick up day in Malvern will look a little different, and the borough's disposal service requests that mattresses and box springs be wrapped in plastic before they're tossed to the curb.

Malvern Borough's Bulk Trash Day is Saturday, September, 26. Items need to put out for pick up no later that 7 a.m. that day, the borough announced.
