2City curbside pickup in Huntsville
Huntsville’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 Huntsville curbside trash collection for furniture and household junk
City of Huntsville residential sanitation customers, billed $21.50 per month for service; additional carts are $9 per month with a one-year minimum.
Conditions and source
Alongside weekly cart garbage collection, the city collects trash set out at the curb including boxes, furniture, appliances, household items, tree limbs, junk and yard waste, and planks, boards and siding from home improvements. Anything that fits in a container must be placed in one; yard-waste containers may not weigh more than 50 pounds and tree limbs may not exceed 5 feet. Material must be out by 7 a.m. on the collection day and at least five feet from mailboxes, poles and parked cars. Not collected: paint, chemicals, solvents, dead animals, rocks, dirt, bricks, concrete, shingles, construction debris, medical or biological waste, or contractor-generated material. Tree limbs up to 10 cubic yards are collected at no charge, with excess charged at $55 per 5-cubic-yard increment.
Not confirmed: Mattresses and box springs are not named; acceptance would rest on the general 'furniture' and 'junk' categories.
Not confirmed: The published excess-volume charges apply to yard waste and tree limbs; the page does not say whether a volume charge can apply to furniture or household junk.
Not confirmed: No request or appointment process and no disposal outcome are described.

Madison County District 4 large item drop-off at the Harvest office pit (sign in at the counter)
The district states whom it serves: "We proudly serve the Harvest, Monrovia and Toney Communities". Trade is excluded: "***We will not pick up debris generated by contractors. If you hire a contractor to do remodeling or yard work they are responsible for removing the debris from your property***" and "If you hire professional services such as, home reconstruction or tree disposal, the workers should dispose of the waste they generate and CANNOT put this out for county collection." A visitor must present themselves: "You will need to come in the office to sign in."
Conditions and source
"If you miss your collection week or would like to get rid of your large debris early, you have the option of bringing it to our office (6084 Highway 53, Harvest). Please bag or box small items to be thrown away. You will need to come in the office to sign in. We have a large concrete pit area that we clean out daily, where you can place your large debris items. Our hours are as follows: Monday - Thursday: 6:00am - 4:30pm(Gate closes at 4:25) Friday: 7:00am - 3:30pm(Gate closes at 3:25)". What the district takes curbside, and so presumably in the pit: "Green Waste - Tree limbs (must be less than 8 ft in length), Brush, Bagged leaves & grass clippings, etc. Appliances - Washers, Refrigerators, etc. Furniture". What it refuses: "Tree stumps, dirt, tires, automotive products, pesticides, paint, televisions, computers, glass, shingles, insulation, sheetrock, concrete, bricks, or rocks", which it redirects to "the Huntsville Landfill (256-881-8700) or The Handle with Care Collection Center (256-880-6054)", plus "Household garbage/waste or refuse that would normally be placed in the green garbage cans WILL NOT be picked up." The page was updated 9/25/2026. No fee is published for the drop-off.
Not confirmed: No fee is published for the drop-off, and the district does not say it is free, so the price is unknown rather than zero.
Not confirmed: The accepted list names Furniture and appliances but never a mattress or box spring; the refusal list does not name one either.
Not confirmed: Whether a resident of another Madison County district may use the Harvest pit is not stated.

Madison County District 1 Landfill self-haul (three free loads a month for District 1 residents)
Madison County limits the free allowance by Commission District, in its own words: "Residents of District 1 are allowed up to 3 loads per month at no charge. If you have extenuating circumstances, come by the District 1 Office." Trade is admitted only with paperwork and only from the same district: "Contractors can use the landfill, at a charge, if the materials come from District 1. A copy of the building permit will be needed as proof of where the material came from." The county publishes no map of which towns or addresses lie inside District 1, so whether a Huntsville, Madison or Triana address qualifies is not established and is recorded as a gap.
Conditions and source
"District 1 also has a landfill at 385 Beth Road in New Market. Hours are Monday-Friday (except County Holidays) 7:00am -4:00pm and Saturdays 7:00am-1:00pm. You can reach them by phone at 256-379-2104." The gate's only published refusals: "The landfill does not accept: propane tanks, chemicals, or household garbage." A mattress appears in neither the accepted nor the refused list on this page, although the county's District Two page says of the curbside route that "Old appliances, mattresses and furniture will be collected". Three loads a month are free to District 1 residents; the county publishes no price for a fourth.
Not confirmed: The page never names a mattress or box spring. Its stated refusals are propane tanks, chemicals and household garbage, so acceptance of a mattress is not established.
Not confirmed: No charge is published for a load beyond the third in a month, nor for a resident of another district.
Not confirmed: The county publishes no boundary description for Commission District 1, so which addresses qualify is not established.

Morgan County Regional Landfill self-haul ($16.00 minimum on the first 740 pounds, published rate card)
The landfill publishes no residency test, no permit and no ID requirement: its own page states what it will accept by waste type rather than by who brings it. "The Morgan County Regional Landfill will accept non-hazardous solid waste, non-infectious putrescible and non-putrescible wastes including but not limited to household garbage, industrial waste, construction and demolition debris, tires, limbs, stumps, paper and other similar type materials and special wastes as approved by ADEM." Accounts are for trade, not households: "All businesses who are frequent users of the Landfill may establish a charge account upon completion of an application and approval by the Director. Customers other than those utilizing a charge account may pay with cash, Visa, Discovery or Master Card. Checks are no longer accepted." This matters for Morgan County because the county's own Environmental Services collects nothing but household trash and nothing at all in Decatur or Hartselle.
Conditions and source
500 Landfill Drive, Trinity, AL 35673, (256) 341-4992. Hours: Monday through Friday 6:00 A.M. – 4:00 P.M., Saturday 7:00 A.M. – 11:00 A.M., Sunday closed, and "*Anyone who must unload by hand must be in the gate 30 minutes before closing time." Landfill Fees as published: "$30 per ton — Garbage, trash, wood materials, construction and demolition, industrial waste, and animals"; "$126 per ton — All State approved asbestos material"; "$201 per ton — All tractor, tractor trailer, and heavy equipment tires"; "$6 per tire — All passenger car and truck tires"; "$16.00 min. — On all the above materials based on the first 740 pounds of the tonnage rate"; "$25.00/box — Access to area to store empty boxes/dumpsters per box (limit 4 boxes per month)". Refusals: "The Landfill will not accept liquid waste, or hazardous and toxic waste, which includes oil, paints, insecticides, batteries, etc." Loads must be secured: "All vehicles entering the Landfill shall have their waste properly covered and secured. This includes tailgates and tarps, if appropriate, to secure the load." A household mattress weighs nowhere near 740 pounds, so the $16.00 minimum is what a single-item trip costs if the gate takes it.
Not confirmed: The rate card names no mattress and no box spring, and the accepted-waste sentence names household garbage without naming bedding, so acceptance of a mattress is not established in the landfill's own words.
Not confirmed: No residency rule is published at all, so whether the gate is open to all comers or only to Decatur and Morgan County residents is not established either way.
Not confirmed: Whether a mattress brought in a car rather than a truck is accepted, and whether the hand-unload rule carries a charge, is not published.

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

What Huntsville itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- The City of Huntsville's page on the Solid Waste Disposal Authority describes it as a public, non-profit corporation that manages 'the finance and operation of the city and county's solid waste management system' through four components — Waste-To-Energy, Landfill, Recycling and Waste Reduction — serving 'residents of Huntsville, Madison and Madison County'. The Authority's office is at 5251 Triana Blvd SW, Huntsville, AL 35805, open Monday-Friday 7 a.m.-5 p.m., phone 256-880-6054. The page publishes no landfill name, no public drop-off address, no accepted-items list and no fees; the Authority's own site at swdahsv.org returned HTTP 500 server errors on every attempt during this pass, so no drop-off service is recorded for Huntsville. Source Not confirmed: No landfill or transfer-station address, hours, resident eligibility rule or tipping fee could be confirmed from a primary source; swdahsv.org was unreachable (HTTP 500). Not confirmed: Whether a Huntsville household may self-haul a mattress to an Authority facility, and at what price, is unknown.
What Madison County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Huntsville and its neighbors.
- The Madison County, Alabama Waste Control & Recycling department page sets out who the county serves and who it does not. "The Madison County Waste Control Department provides regular curbside garbage pick-up service to approximately 70,000 residential and business customers in Madison County, and routes all requests for trash collection (old furniture, appliances, tree limbs, etc.), to the proper District." "The Madison County Waste Control Department provides regular curbside garbage pick-up service to all Madison County residents who live outside the city limits of Huntsville." The cart service is "$13.50 per household" a month, "An additional cart cost $5.00 per month", and the cart takes household waste only: "We Do Not Service items such as grass, leaves, building material, metal scrap, paint, hazardous chemical, such as acids or pool chemicals, oil, dirt, rocks, wood, furniture, ashes, sawdust, carpet and pad, dead animals, human or animal waste, tires, and etc." Large items are a separate district service: "Madison County Commission Districts provide regular yard debris pick-up service to county residents. The charge is $3.00 per month for this service.", with District One (256) 828-0726, District Two (256) 532-1590, District Three (256) 723-4247 and District Four (256) 852-8351, and "If you live in the city limits of Huntsville, please call Huntsville Sanitation Department at 256-883-3964 regarding large debris pick-up. If you live in the city limits of Madison, please call Madison Public Works Department at 256-772-8490 regarding large debris pick-up." The county then names a disposal site: "Take bulky items such as shingles, construction debris and appliances to the Huntsville Landfill at 4100 Leeman Ferry Road or call 256-881-8700." Office: 107 Wholesale Avenue, Huntsville, AL 35811, (256) 532-3718. Source Not confirmed: The county cart list excludes furniture but never names a mattress, so this page alone does not say what happens to one; the District Two page does. Not confirmed: Only Districts One to Four are listed as providing the large-debris round. Districts Five and Six, which the county's own district pages describe as South Huntsville and Huntsville urban areas, are absent, and the county does not say what a resident of those districts outside a city should do.
- Not an option: The one recycling program Madison County, Alabama points residents to is a four-material curbside cart, and it is not a route for a mattress. RANA, the Recycling Alliance of North Alabama, lists what it accepts: "#1 and #2 Narrow Neck Plastic Bottles (No other plastics or bags)", "Aluminum & Steel Cans (no miscellaneous metals)", "Paper", "Flattened Cardboard". Everything else is sent away: "ANY OTHER Household garbage should go in green garbage carts or to the Household Hazardous Waste Facility". The program serves "eligible Huntsville, Madison, and Madison County residents", requires registration, and is free: "Residents are not currently charged for the recycling program and this will not change with RANA." Madison County's Waste Control page confirms the referral: "This is a free service provided to all Madison County residents managed by RANA." No mattress, box spring or bulky item appears anywhere in the accepted list, so the county's recycling program is not a mattress option. Source
- Madison County, ALABAMA collects mattresses at the curb, and says so in as many words. The county's District Two page, under "District 2 Household Garbage and Trash Collection", says: "For Madison County residents living outside of municipalities, except for Triana, monthly trash collection occurs the last week of each month." "All residents are charged $3.00 a month." "Please place tree limbs cut in 8 foot lengths or less and brush in separate pile." "If your trash is more than a standard size pickup truck load per month, please call and schedule for SPECIAL SERVICE. The minimum charge is $75. The fee depends on manpower, equipment and disposal fees." Then the sentence that matters: "Old appliances, mattresses and furniture will be collected." And the exclusions: "Hazardous materials such as paint, motor oil, tires, shingles, stumps and construction materials will NOT be collected." The page hands the two big cities off to themselves: "For City of Huntsville residents household garbage and trash pickup is handled by the City of Huntsville." and "For City of Madison residents yard debris and large items roadside pickup is handled by the City of Madison." It also says "Madison County in partnership with the City of Madison and Triana picks up District 2 household garbage weekly" and that "District 2 is multi-jurisdictional." Phone for the county service: 256-532-1590. This is Madison County ALABAMA on madisoncountyal.gov, not the Madison County, Illinois we researched earlier. Source Not confirmed: The clause "living outside of municipalities, except for Triana" is ambiguous: read one way Triana is carved out of the county service, read the other Triana is the one municipality included in it. The neighboring sentence "Madison County in partnership with the City of Madison and Triana picks up District 2 household garbage weekly" points to inclusion, but the county never says plainly whether a Triana address gets the monthly large-trash round. Not confirmed: The county publishes no per-mattress fee. The $3.00 a month is a subscription for the whole trash round and the $75 is a minimum for an oversize SPECIAL SERVICE load, not a mattress price. Not confirmed: Whether a mattress counts against any load limit, and how many the county will take at once, is not published.

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.
