2City curbside pickup in Lanett
Lanett’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 Lanett weekly roadside trash and priced bulky pickup
Compulsory for every Lanett household. Sec. 23-34 provides that everyone residing or doing business in the corporate limits 'shall comply with the requirements of this chapter, whether or not they desire the services to be rendered, the provisions of this chapter are mandatory, not voluntary', and Sec. 23-35 makes participation in the city's collection mandatory unless a certificate of exception issues. Sec. 23-36(a) exempts a household 'whose sole income is derived from social security benefits' from paying any garbage fee. Chambers County's own service is restricted to rural and unincorporated residents, so Lanett residents have only the city's.
Conditions and source
Cart garbage is contracted to Amwaste and collected at the roadside once a week, Monday through Thursday, at '$21.00' a month per can under Sec. 23-22 as amended in July 2023. The Street Department runs its own 'Weekly roadside debris removal' alongside it, and Sec. 23-16 provides that 'Rubbish, leaves, grass, straw, and shrubbery trimmings shall be collected once per week in residential areas.' Sec. 23-20(a) sets the curbside rule and the bulky prices: 'All trash, including limbs and hedge cuttings, less than four (4) feet in length and less than eight (8) inches in diameter, placed for collection shall be placed behind the curb ... Tires, brush, tree trunks, and large limbs over four (4) feet in length and eight (8) inches in diameter, may be picked up on a special schedule as outlined by the superintendent of sanitation. Charge for this service will be thirty dollars ($30.00) per load. Where quantity hauled is less than a truck load, charge will be prorated at the thirty dollar ($30.00) rate with a minimum charge of ten dollars ($10.00). Stoves, refrigerators, freezers, sofas, hot water heaters, and other appliances will be picked up at a charge of ten dollars ($10.00) per unit. The mayor may schedule special cleanup campaigns during which there shall be no charge during such scheduled period.' Neither priced category names a mattress: the $10.00-per-unit list is appliances plus sofas, and the $30.00-per-load schedule is tires, brush, tree trunks and large limbs. 'Rubbish' at Sec. 23-17 means 'All nonputrescible solid wastes, consisting of both combustible and noncombustible wastes such as paper, cardboard, glass, crockery, excelsior, cloth, and similar materials.' Building debris, dirt, stumps and tree trunks are not removed by the department at all under Sec. 23-28. Back-door collection requires living alone and a doctor's note. Violations draw $50.00 to $200.00 per day under Sec. 23-37.
Not confirmed: A mattress appears in neither priced list: not among 'Stoves, refrigerators, freezers, sofas, hot water heaters, and other appliances' at $10.00 per unit, and not among the tires, brush, tree trunks and large limbs charged at $30.00 per load.
Not confirmed: It is therefore not established what, if anything, a Lanett resident pays to have a mattress collected, nor whether an 80-inch mattress falls foul of the four-foot rule for ordinary curbside trash.
Not confirmed: The code does not say when the mayor's free 'special cleanup campaigns' are held, or whether any are held.
Not confirmed: The city website publishes none of these rules or prices; they exist only in the code.

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

Policies vary by branch. Call before you carry one over — we asked each of the big three directly: Goodwill, the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity.
What Lanett itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Lanett contracts its cart garbage out but keeps roadside collection in house. The city's Garbage & Recycling page states: 'The City of Lanett outsources garbage collection to Amwaste. They can be contacted by phone at 334-625-1700 ... Amwaste operates in the Lanett area on Mondays through Thursdays. Your garbage is picked up at the roadside once a week; if you are unsure of your pickup date, simply call City Hall at 334-644-2141.' Extra cans are requested at City Hall with 'Please allow 5-7 business days for delivery or replacement of all garbage cans. Cans are only delivered on Wednesdays and Fridays.' Back-door collection is offered on stated conditions: 'If you are disabled or unable to physically push your garbage can to the road and you live alone, backdoor pickup is offered', requiring that 'You must live alone' and 'You must provide a written doctor's note to City Hall that explains from your doctor that you are physically unable to push your can to the curbside.' City Hall is at 401 North Lanier Avenue, Lanett, AL 36863. The page gives no bulky-item information at all. Source Not confirmed: The city's garbage page publishes no bulky-item rule, price or item list, and names no mattress.
What Chambers County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Lanett and its neighbors.
- Chambers County does operate a landfill, but it is a construction and demolition site and the county publishes nothing a household could use. The county's Vendor Agreement describes "Chambers County, Alabama by and through the Chambers County Commission (hereinafter “Chambers County”) operating the Chambers County Construction and Demolition landfill, a solid waste disposal situs pursuant to Section 22-27-1 et seq., Code of Alabama, 1975". The agreement is for approved commercial vendors only: "Chambers County has received and approved a credit application on behalf of the Vendor", who may then dispose of waste and "pay any accrued disposal fees at the conclusion of each month", with a ten percent late charge after the fifteenth. It is signed by the Chambers County Solid Waste Officer. No rate, no street address, no hours and no accepted-items list appear in the agreement or anywhere else on the county's site. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes no street address, hours, accepted-items list or gate rate for its construction and demolition landfill; directory listings give an address the county does not confirm, so none is recorded here Not confirmed: Whether a household may self-haul to the site at all, as opposed to an approved vendor on credit, is not published Not confirmed: The disposal fees the agreement refers to are set out nowhere the county publishes
- ADEM's master list confirms the county landfill's permit and its limits. "Chambers County Landfill Permit No. 09-02" is permitted to the "Chambers County Commission", 18 Alabama Avenue E, LaFayette, AL 36862, with contacts Macy Wharton at 334-864-4332 and Al Myers, at a "Volume: 75 tons per day", "Service Area: The States of Alabama and Georgia", "Permit Type: Construction/Demolition". It is the only permitted landfill of any kind listed in Chambers County, and Chambers County appears nowhere in ADEM's municipal solid waste landfill list, so there is no permitted household landfill in the county. Source Not confirmed: The list gives the Commission's office address in LaFayette rather than the landfill site's address Not confirmed: It sets no gate rate, no hours and no accepted-items list
- Valley and Lanett sit on the Georgia line, so Troup County, Georgia was checked as the nearest cross-border drop-off, and it does not carry a mattress answer. Troup County lists four convenience centers, all of them in LaGrange and none in West Point, the Georgia town directly across the river: Loyd-Tatum, 2330 Pegasus Pkwy, LaGrange, GA 30240; Hillcrest, 30 Hillcrest Rd, LaGrange, GA 30241; Knott Road, 80 Knott Rd, LaGrange, GA 30241; and Work Camp, 2508 Hamilton Road, LaGrange, GA 30241. All four show the same hours, "Monday, Friday, Saturday: 7am - 7pm & Sunday 1pm-7pm". The page publishes no fee of any kind, no accepted or excluded items list, no residency rule, and no mattress or bulky-item policy, so nothing here meets the bar for a drop-off a reader could be sent to. Source Not confirmed: No fee, accepted-items list or mattress policy is published for any of the four Troup County convenience centers Not confirmed: Whether an Alabama resident may use a Troup County convenience center, and at what rate, is not published Not confirmed: No drop-off is published in West Point, Georgia, the nearest Georgia town to Valley and Lanett
- Troup County, Georgia's own collection is confined to its unincorporated area and so does nothing for an Alabama household. Its Sanitation page says "Troup County has partnered with Martin Environmental Services, Inc. to provide sanitation services to unincorporated Troup County effective July 1, 2023. Troup County will no longer levy a sanitation millage fee to all parcels in the County." Martin Environmental Services is given at 334-702-4477 and 2388 Bartley Road, LaGrange, GA 30240. No rate, bulky-item provision or mattress policy appears on the page. Source Not confirmed: No household rate, bulky-item allowance or mattress policy is published for the Troup County contract
- Chambers County charges a mandatory solid waste collection fee and the only relief from it is a narrow means test, which is the clearest evidence on the county's site that subscription is compulsory. The application is "to be exempt from the Solid Waste fees for garbage pickup", accepted only "from October 1st thru December 31st of the current year", and must be renewed annually or "you will have to resume paying for trash service, and you will have to wait another year to re-apply." "To qualify for this exemption your sole income for your household must be from Social Security only. You cannot be drawing any kind of retirement, unemployment or pension." It requires three Social Security checks or three months of bank statements and is processed by the county's Solid Waste Officer. It is titled "Chambers County Application for Social Security Exemption from Solid Waste Collection Fees" and cites "any fees that are required by the Solid Waste Act". Note that the document is stale in a way the working link hides: the form body reads "FOR THE YEAR ____ 2023", and it names a different hauler from the current one - "If you owe any amount to Amwaste you will not be approved until you clear up your account with them" - while the county's Solid Waste page now directs residents to Meridian Waste. Source Not confirmed: The document is dated for the year 2023 and names Amwaste, while the county's current Solid Waste page names Meridian Waste, so the fee amount and the billing party it implies are out of date Not confirmed: The amount of the solid waste fee the exemption relieves is not stated
- Not an option: There is no mattress recycling program available to a Valley or Lanett household. The Mattress Recycling Council's own home page says it is "Operating Statewide in California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island." Neither Alabama nor Georgia is among them, so crossing the state line at West Point does not reach a program either: there is no Bye Bye Mattress collection site on either side of the Chattahoochee. Source Not confirmed: That no independent mattress recycler operates in Chambers 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.
