City of Satsuma weekly trash and bulk waste collection
Residences inside the City of Satsuma on the city sanitation round.
Conditions and source
Collected weekly, booked by telephone at 251-679-3182. Bulk waste is described by the city as "furniture, boxes, etc." and must be set out separately from yard waste, because bulk and yard waste go to different disposal sites. Loose trash must be containerised; loose items cannot be collected because of equipment restrictions. Limbs no longer than 10 feet. Refrigerators and appliances must carry a licensed refrigeration service tag showing the Freon has been removed. Contractor waste — tree removal, construction debris, carpet, padding, tile — will not be collected. Set-out rules for the garbage cart: at the street by 6:30 a.m. on collection day, out no earlier than 3 p.m. the previous day, removed by midnight on collection day.
Not confirmed: A mattress is named nowhere; "Bulk waste (furniture, boxes, etc.)" is as close as the city comes.
Not confirmed: No fee is published for the trash and bulk run beyond the monthly garbage cart charge, and no volume or item limit is published.

6Donation options in Satsuma
Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.
- The Salvation Army (satruck.org): accepted-items list includes 'Mattresses' and beds; also says local ordinances and need vary by location and to call 1-800-SA-TRUCK to confirm what a local center accepts. Source
- Doesn’t take mattresses. Habitat for Humanity national ReStore guide: 'Mattresses and box springs are not accepted.' Source
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 Mobile County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Satsuma and its neighbors.
- Mobile County runs no household collection of any kind. Its own Frequently Asked Questions page asks "Does Mobile County offer trash or garbage service?" and answers "No. Trash and garbage collection is offered by companies in the area." There is no county bulky-item, large-item or special pickup, no county cart program and no county subscription: a household in unincorporated Mobile County - or in one of the smaller municipalities that does not collect for itself - arranges its own private service. Mobile County's Environmental Services department (Mobile Government Plaza, 7th Floor South Tower, 205 Government Street, Mobile, AL 36644, 251-574-3229) oversees solid waste planning rather than collection. Source Not confirmed: The county names no hauler and publishes no list of the companies serving unincorporated Mobile County, so it cannot be established from the county who a reader outside a collecting municipality should call.
- Operation Clean Sweep is Mobile County's only county-wide free disposal event, and it is organized by neighborhood rather than scheduled. The Department of Environmental Enforcement "provides a central location where residents may dispose of your trash"; it is "a countywide program that encourages all Mobile County residents" to take part, but "All it takes is for a group of twelve or more area residents to be interested in participating. With this in mind, elect a team captain today and call the Mobile County Department of Environmental Enforcement at (251) 574-STOP(7867)." The ACCEPTABLE ITEMS list is "Appliances, Computers/Printers, Flat Screen TVs, Flat Screen Monitors, Household items, Yard Debris, Scrap Metal, Clothing, Microwaves, Electronics and Tires (limited to 10)." The NON-ACCEPTABLE ITEMS list is "Tubed TVs, Computer Monitors (CRT type), Roofing, Hazardous Waste, Junk Cars, Boats, Pressure Tanks, Waste Oil, Liquid Paint, Nails, Glass, Sharp Objects and Household Garbage." THE RULES are "Must show proof of Mobile County residency. NO businesses allowed. NO dump trailers allowed. NO hazardous waste accepted. One load per household. All drivers are required to unload their vehicle. Participation in the Clean Sweep event is voluntary." Eligibility is county-wide with proof of Mobile County residency, so a Prichard, Saraland, Satsuma, Semmes or Chickasaw household qualifies as much as a city of Mobile one. Source Not confirmed: A mattress is named in neither list. It is not among the "Household items" that are spelled out, and it is not among the non-acceptable items either, so whether a Clean Sweep roll-off will take one cannot be established from the county's own page. Not confirmed: No dates and no locations are published - the page says only "LOOK FOR AN 'OPERATION CLEAN SWEEP' NEAR YOU" - so a reader cannot find out when the next event is without calling. Not confirmed: No cost is stated anywhere on the page, so it cannot be recorded as free even though the program reads as a free service.
- Not an option: The Mobile County Recycling Center takes no mattresses. It is the county's own recycling facility - "owned by the Mobile County Commission and operated by Goodwill Gulf Coast since 2014" - at "7450 Hitt Road Mobile, AL 36695", (251) 459-8426, open "Monday - Saturday: 7:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m." and "Sunday: 10:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m." Its published accepted-items list is "Paper, Paperboard, Cardboard, Plastic #1, Plastic #2, Plastic #3-7, Glass, Aluminum, Steel, Plastic bags, Clothing, Flat Screen TVs/Monitors, Electronics (computers, printers, etc.), Small Appliances" and its not-accepted list is "Styrofoam, Food Contaminated Items, Wax-Coated Packaging, Light Bulbs/Fluorescent Tubes, Batteries of Any Kind, Yard Waste, Scrap Metal, Tires, Hazardous Materials, Paint Cans/Chemicals, Compressed Air Tanks (Propane), Motor Oil, Construction Materials, PVC Pipes, Large Appliances, Box TVs/Monitors (CRTs), Medical Waste, Anything that previously contained hazardous materials". Bedding of any kind is absent from the accepted list, which is a closed list of household recyclables: the center is not a mattress drop-off and a reader should not drive there with one. It is the closest thing Mobile County operates to a recycling facility, and it recycles no mattresses. Source Not confirmed: Mattresses are not named in the not-accepted list either, so the refusal rests on their absence from a closed accepted list rather than on an explicit exclusion.

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.
