2City curbside pickup in Greenville
Greenville’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
City of Greenville weekly curbside residential trash collection (discarded furniture and junk)
Residences inside the City of Greenville. "The owner of a vacant lot or unoccupied building is responsible for the removal of solid waste therefrom." The city does not haul debris left by contractors, fence companies, nurseries and landscape contractors, pulpwood contractors, tree surgeons or tree trimming companies. Sec. 17-19 of the code applies the service to "single-family dwellings, duplexes, townhouses, condominiums, mobile home parks and apartments".
Conditions and source
"Residential Trash is defined as the following items: Appliances, Discarded Furniture, Grass Clippings, Junk, Leaves, Limbs, Pine Straw, Yard Trimmings." The schedule is "one time per week with the exception of Holidays and extreme weather conditions." Trash goes out loose and not in the cart: "The roll-out container will not be emptied by the trash crews working your area. (Serviced by garbage crew on garbage days only.)" "Trash should be placed in orderly piles within six feet of the curb or the edge of the street, road or highway adjacent to the residence", clear of cars, guide wires, low power lines, mailboxes and telephone poles, and never in the street or gutters. A volume threshold, not the item, triggers a charge: "Miscellaneous rubbish and trash such as the following materials which exceeds half of a load in volume will require special handling for curbside pickup from residences: Appliances, Brush, Furniture, Limbs, Tree trunks", at "Up to one Department truck load is $30" and "Each additional Department truck load or portion thereof, $50 per load or portion thereof", arranged by calling the department at 334-382-8271. Exclusions: "Trash crews will not pick them up household garbage, pasteboard boxes and any and all paper products", and since March 2004 electronic equipment such as TVs, VCRs and microwaves is no longer picked up as roadside trash, though small electronics may go in the roll-out container. Sec. 17-19(b)(3) of the 1992 ordinance sets a different threshold and different charges for the same service, $100 up to one department truck load and $75 for each additional, added to the customer's monthly solid waste bill.
- $30 — "Up to one Department truck load is $30." This charge applies only where a set-out of appliances, brush, furniture, limbs or tree trunks "exceeds half of a load in volume" and so "will require special handling for curbside pickup from residences"; arrangements are made by calling the department. An ordinary weekly set-out of discarded furniture or junk below that threshold carries no published charge. Sec. 17-19(b)(3) of the 1992 ordinance sets $100.00 for the same first load above a one-load threshold, and the fee schedule adopted by Ordinance 2023-34 contains neither figure.
- Plus $50 — "Each additional Department truck load or portion thereof, $50 per load or portion thereof", for special handling of a set-out exceeding half a department truck load. Sec. 17-19(b)(3) of the 1992 ordinance sets $75.00 per additional load or portion thereof for the same service, and the fee schedule adopted by Ordinance 2023-34 contains neither figure.
Not confirmed: A mattress is named neither in the Residential Trash list nor among the exclusions; "Discarded Furniture" and "Junk" are the nearest terms and neither is defined.
Not confirmed: The city does not say how a set-out is measured against "half of a load", so whether a single mattress could reach the threshold is not established.
Not confirmed: The web page charges $30 and $50 above half a load; Sec. 17-19(b)(3) charges $100 and $75 above one load; the adopted fee schedule at Ordinance 2023-34 contains neither pair. The city does not say which governs.
Not confirmed: No notice period is published for the special handling the city charges for.
Not confirmed: No wrapping, bagging or bed-bug rule is published, and the city does not say where collected trash is taken.

Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

What Greenville itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Greenville's ordinance carries the same service with an older and much higher price attached, and the city has never reconciled the two. Sec. 17-19(b)(2) covers an ordinary set-out: "Brush, tree trunks, limbs not exceeding six (6) inches in diameter and eight (8) feet in length and miscellaneous light rubbish such as boards, metal tubing, etc., which does not exceed eight (8) feet in length and more than one (1) department truck load in volume will be collected by the department if the same is placed adjacent to the curb, but not in the road or gutters." Sec. 17-19(b)(3) sets the charge: "Brush, tree trunks and limbs which exceed six (6) inches in diameter or eight (8) feet in length and all appliances, furniture and miscellaneous rubbish and trash, other than leaves and grass clippings, which exceeds one (1) department truck load in volume will require special handling for curbside pick-up from residences and the following charges will be made by the city for such services: a. Up to one (1) department truck load—One hundred dollars ($100.00). b. Each additional department truckload or portion thereof—Seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per load or portion thereof. Arrangements for this service may be made by calling the department. The service fee will be added to the customer's monthly solid waste bill." The ordinance is Ord. No. 1992-08 of March 16, 1992. Its threshold is one truck load; the city website's threshold is half a load; its charges are $100 and $75; the website's are $30 and $50. The definitions are broad and do not reach bedding: "Trash means leaves, yard clippings, limbs, debris from pruning or processing plants; also, something of little or no value such as junk or rubbish", and "Rubbish means all nonputrescible waste, consisting of both combustible and noncombustible waste, such as paper, cardboard, glass, crockery, excelsior, cloth and similar materials." Sec. 17-17 establishes collection "not less frequently than once each week in residential areas". Sec. 17-19(a) sets the cart rules, the curb window — out "no sooner than the evening prior to the scheduled time of pick-up and removed no later than 7:00 p.m. on the day of pick-up" — and back-door collection "Upon written proof of disability from a medical doctor". Sec. 17-19(b)(4) requires "All sanitary pads, disposable diapers and other materials used in the care of infants, convalescents, or bedridden persons" to be placed in sealed airtight plastic bags in the roll-out container. Source Not confirmed: The 1992 ordinance charges $100 and $75 for special handling above one truck load; the city's current web page charges $30 and $50 above half a load. The city does not say which governs, and the adopted fee schedule at Ordinance 2023-34 contains neither pair. Not confirmed: Neither the code's definition of trash nor its definition of trash mentions bedding or mattresses. Not confirmed: The code sets no charge for an ordinary under-one-load set-out and does not state that it is free.
- Greenville's adopted fee schedule, "SANITATION DEPARTMENT & LANDFILL, Adopted by Ordinance 2023-34", prices the cart and the landfill gate and contains no line at all for bulky or special-handling trash collection. Under GARBAGE SERVICE it lists "Large Green Can 90 Gallons $24.00 each", "Small Green Can 30 Gallons $12.00 each", "Careless Destruction of Garbage Can $150.00 each can", "Re-Can Fee for Delinquent Accounts $30.00 each can", "Garbage Can Steam Cleaning Fee $20.00 each can" and "Special Event/Individual/Residential Garbage Can Rental $20.00 per can/per week 5 cans or less, $10.00 per can/per week over 5 cans". Under LANDFILL FEES it prices by vehicle, from "Pickup Truck $35.00 per load" to "Tractor Trailers $200.00 per load", with packer trucks from $150.00 to $225.00, tires at $3.00 to $5.00 each, and "Hauling Charges – First Load $150.00 per load" and "Each Additional Load $100.00 per load". Under MISCELLANEOUS FEES it prices weed and debris removal labor at $150.00 for the first hour and $100.00 for each additional hour, and leaves demolition to be "Determined by Public Works & City Inspector". The $30 and $50 special-handling charges quoted on the residential trash page, and the $100 and $75 charges in Sec. 17-19(b)(3) of the code, appear nowhere in the schedule the council actually adopted. Source Not confirmed: The schedule gives "$24.00 each" for a 90-gallon can and "$12.00 each" for a 30-gallon can without stating a billing period, so the monthly residential garbage rate cannot be quoted with certainty from it. Not confirmed: The schedule sets no charge for bulky, large-item or special-handling trash collection, which is the charge a reader with a mattress would need if a set-out crossed the volume threshold. Not confirmed: There is no per-item line for a mattress, a box spring or any piece of furniture, at the curb or at the gate.
What Butler County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Greenville and its neighbors.
- Butler County publishes nothing at all about household waste, and that absence is the county-layer answer for Greenville. Its official government site lists six departments and no more: County Commission, Revenue Commission, Probate Office, EMA, Sheriff and Road Department, with Careers alongside. There is no solid waste or sanitation department, no garbage page, no landfill page, no transfer station or convenience center, no subscription program, no bulky-item collection, and no free dump day, voucher or amnesty event anywhere on the site. Its County Resources panel points outward instead - to the City of Georgiana, the City of Greenville, the Town of McKenzie, the Butler County Commission for Economic Development, the Extension Office, the Board of Education, the Department of Public Health and the judicial circuit - so a rural Butler County household is directed nowhere by its county for a mattress. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes nothing on whether rural households must subscribe to a private collector, and names no contracted hauler Not confirmed: No county drop-off site, fee or mattress policy exists to record
- The Road Department, the only Butler County department that could plausibly carry a waste function, does not. Its page describes work "to ensure county roadways and bridges are safe in Butler County" and covers "bridge maintenance" and "providing paved roads and resources", introducing an engineer, an assistant engineer, an office administrator and an administrative assistant. There is no garbage collection, no debris or bulky-item pickup, no landfill, no dumpster or green-box program and no mention of solid waste of any kind. Source Not confirmed: The page does not address household waste at all, so there is nothing to check further at the county layer
- The only public disposal site in Butler County is the City of Greenville's landfill, and it refuses household garbage by name. "The Sanitation Department manages and operates the Greenville Landfill. The landfill is permitted to accept the following items:" Leaves and stumps, Limbs, Non-hazardous construction and demolition waste, Trees. Under "Landfill Items Not Accepted" the city lists: electronic equipment such as computer monitors, microwave ovens, radios, televisions, VCR's and computers; railroad ties or treated lumber; hazardous waste; "Household garbage"; liquids; paper products; and pasteboard boxes. Hours are "OPEN Mon. - Thur. from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. CLOSED Fri. and Sat." Telephone 334-437-0021, and "Dump tickets can be purchased at The Clerk's Office at City Hall", 119 East Commerce Street, Greenville, AL 36037. Source Not confirmed: Neither the permitted list nor the not-accepted list names mattresses, furniture or bedding, so the refusal turns on whether a mattress counts as "Household garbage" - and the city's own Residential Trash page treats "Discarded Furniture" and "Junk" as trash rather than household garbage, so whether a mattress may be taken to the landfill is not established Not confirmed: The city publishes no street address for the landfill, only a telephone number; directory sites give two conflicting addresses, so none is recorded here
- Greenville prices its landfill by the vehicle rather than by the item or the ton, and the schedule covers inert material only. "Charges for dumping inert materials in the city's landfill are established as follows; however, may be changed from time to time by the governing body": Pick-up Truck $35; Pick-up with Raised Body $50; 8-10 ft. Trailer $50; 12-14 ft. Trailer $55; 1-Ton truck $60; 16-18 ft. Trailers $60; 20-25 ft. Trailers $70; 30-35 ft. Trailers $80; 1 1/2 to 2 Ton Single Axle Truck $65; 1 1/2 to 2 Ton Dual Axle Truck $75; Tri-Axle Truck with 20 yd. Capacity $150; Tractor Trailer $200. Commercial roll-off containers run $150 for 20 yd., $175 for 30 yd., $200 for 40 yd. and $225 for 60 yd. Tires are now charged per tire rather than per load: $3.00 regular, $4.00 big truck, $5.00 large tractor and equipment. Hauling charges are $150 for the first load and $100 for each additional load. There is no per-item line for a mattress, a box spring or any piece of furniture. Source Not confirmed: Every price on the schedule is for "dumping inert materials", so none of them establishes a price for a mattress, which the landfill page does not list as accepted Not confirmed: No per-item or per-mattress fee is published
- The free tier at the Greenville landfill is fenced by an eligibility rule that excludes every Butler County household outside the city. "There shall be no charge required for inert waste brought to the landfill for disposal by the person generating such waste, provided such waste in its entirety is generated from within the corporate limits, and such was generated by a subscriber to the city sanitation department collection services. Such free dumping will be allowed only for pick up truck or smaller loads, and will not apply to commercial or construction-type refuse and/or debris." Proof is demanded at the gate: "In order for subscribers to the city garbage service to dump free at the landfill, they must present to the landfill attendant a current receipt of payment for the city garbage services prior to dumping. In addition, a current driver's license or other valid identification card must be presented to identify such person as the citizen paying for the garbage services outlined on the utility bill presented to the landfill attendant." So free disposal requires living inside Greenville, subscribing to city collection, and producing both a current payment receipt and photo identification; a rural Butler County household pays the per-vehicle rate instead. Source Not confirmed: The free allowance is for "inert waste" only, so it does not establish free disposal of a mattress even for a city subscriber
- ADEM's master list shows two permitted landfills in Butler County, one of them private to a sawmill and the other the city site that refuses household garbage. "Coastal Forest Products, LLC - Chapman Landfill Permit No. 07-04" is permitted at 40 cubic yards per day with "Service Area: Coastal Forest Products, LLC located in Butler County, AL", "Permit Type: Construction/Demolition" - private to the company. "City of Greenville C/D Landfill Permit No. 07-05" is permitted to the City of Greenville, P.O. Box 158, Greenville, AL 36037, contact Garrett Luckie at 334-382-8271, at 200 tons per day, "Service Area: Butler County, AL", "Permit Type: Construction/Demolition" - so the city's landfill is permitted to serve the whole county, which is why it is the county-layer answer. Butler County appears nowhere in ADEM's municipal solid waste landfill list. Source Not confirmed: The list gives the City of Greenville's P.O. Box rather than the landfill's street address
- Not an option: There is no mattress recycling program available to a Butler County or Greenville household. The Mattress Recycling Council's own home page says it is "Operating Statewide in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island", and Alabama is not among them, so there is no Bye Bye Mattress collection site in the county or in the state. Source Not confirmed: That no independent mattress recycler operates in Butler County is established from ADEM's permitted landfill lists and the county's own pages, not from any statement that none exists

What to check before you go
- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
