2City curbside pickup in Troy
Troy’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.
Troy district clean-up — bulky items at no charge
Residents of single-family dwellings within the designated council district, during that district's clean-up month. Solid waste service is not provided outside the city limits, and contractors' debris is excluded.
Conditions and source
District January 1 and June, District February 2 and July, District March 3 and August, District April 4 and September, District May 5 and October. Residents put items out on the day of their regular garbage pick-up or call Environmental Services at 334-566-1133 or 311 to schedule a special pick-up during their month; the ordinance says residents contact public works the week prior and that clean-ups run during the third full week of the month. During the clean-up residents may dispose of furniture, appliances, junk autos and large bulky items "without being assessed the standard Special Pick-Up fees normally charged for oversized loads". The mayor may also call clean-ups after a natural disaster.
Not confirmed: Neither the city pages nor the ordinance names a mattress, a box spring or bedding among the items the clean-up takes.
Not confirmed: The ordinance confines clean-ups to the third full week of the month while the city's pages describe the whole month.
Not confirmed: Residents of apartments and multifamily buildings are outside the offer and are not told what to do instead.

District Clean Up — City of Troy, Alabama
Troy, Alabama Code of Ordinances, Chapter 13, Article V — Solid Waste Collection and Disposal
Free
Visit siteTroy special-handling curbside pick-up (outside the clean-up month)
Residences inside the city limits — single-family dwellings, duplexes, townhouses and condominiums of six units or less. Solid waste service is not provided outside the city limits, and buildings of seven or more units are billed as commercial.
Conditions and source
Appliances, furniture and miscellaneous refuse exceeding one cubic yard in volume or 65 pounds in weight require special handling for curbside pick-up, arranged by calling the public works department, and the fee is added to the customer's monthly solid waste bill. The rate is $5.00 per cubic yard with a minimum fee of $20.00. Lighter trash, not over eight feet long or 65 pounds, is taken on the ordinary weekly route at no extra charge. Only household trash and garbage may go in the blue cart. A queen mattress at about 60 by 80 by 11 inches is roughly 1.2 cubic yards.
Not confirmed: The ordinance never names a mattress, a box spring or bedding, so whether a particular mattress is judged to exceed one cubic yard or 65 pounds is left to the crew.
Not confirmed: The city's public pages refer to "the standard Special Pick-Up fees" without publishing them; the figures here come from the ordinance.

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 Troy itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Troy's Environmental Services FAQ sets the curbside rules. Containers go out by 7:00 am on collection day and come in by 7:00 pm: "Under no circumstance are the containers to be left out over night." "Only household trash and garbage is acceptable for the blue garbage cart" and only recyclables in the recycle cart. What may not go in the cart is listed in full: "Do not put yard waste, construction, remodeling, metal or demolition debris in the container. Do not put concrete, dirt, rocks, sod, sand, plaster, hot ashes, tires, automobile parts or batteries, chemical materials, toxic materials, flammable items or liquid paint in the containers." Service is started at the Billing Department, City Hall, 306 East Academy Street, and missed pickups are reported to the 311 Call Center at 334-566-0177. Source Not confirmed: The cart exclusion list does not mention furniture or bedding, which are dealt with by the separate special-handling rule rather than by this list.
- Troy has a Habitat for Humanity affiliate of its own — Troy-Pike Habitat for Humanity, 210 Montgomery St., Troy, AL 36081, phone +1 (334) 372-7578, website given as troypikehabitat.com — but the entry publishes no ReStore, no donation policy and no accepted-item list, only Habitat's generic national text that ReStores "sell reusable and surplus building materials, furniture and appliances" and that donors should contact their local ReStore. Source Not confirmed: The affiliate's own website did not resolve when checked, and no donation policy is published, so whether it takes a mattress is not established either way.
What Pike County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Troy and its neighbors.
- Pike County runs no drop-off of its own, and the one landfill on its soil is a private operation with nothing published for households. ADEM's register lists under PIKE COUNTY exactly one facility: "Brundidge Landfill LLC (Private) Permit No. 55-07", permittee "Brundidge Acquisitions, 841 Highway 105", contacts "Mike Thornton. Environmental Services Manager" at 334-894-6600 and "Mark Barbaree" at 334-735-5885, with "Volume: 7500 tons per day" and a service area given as "State of Louisiana and all States east of the Mississippi River" — a regional disposal contract, not a citizens' convenience center. The county's own Solid Waste page publishes no landfill, transfer station, convenience center, clean-up day or drop-off of any kind; its entire content is the Meridian Waste contract, the complaints route and the Social Security exemption forms. Troy is a university town and that changed nothing here: no route in this county names a mattress. Source Not confirmed: Brundidge Landfill publishes no website, no gate rate, no hours and no public self-haul rule, so it cannot be offered as a drop-off. Its permit and service area are all that is established. Not confirmed: The county does not state in its own words that it operates no drop-off; that is established by the absence of one anywhere on its site.
- Pike County's collection is a cart and nothing else: neither the county nor its contractor publishes any bulky-item route at all. The Pike County Commission states plainly, "Meridian Waste currently holds the contract for Solid Waste Pick-Up in Pike County", and sends residents to the hauler first: "If Meridian Waste DOES NOT pick up your garbage on the scheduled pick-up day, you must first report it to Meridian Waste directly. If they have not resolved the matter within THREE (3) Business Days, Please contact the Pike County Commission Office at 334-566-6374". The hauler's own Collection Guidelines for Pike County, Update 2024-A, cover one service: collection "Once per week. Your collection day is listed on your cart lid", carts curbside "the night before or by 6:00 AM", and "All waste materials must be BAGGED and contained INSIDE your 95-gallon Meridian Waste/ADSI cart", with materials accepted being "Containerized, non-hazardous municipal solid waste" and "HAZARDOUS WASTE is NOT PERMITTED". Excess bags are answered with a rented second cart, not a bulky pickup. Fees are "billed quarterly in advance". The local facility is given as "1626 County Road 3304 Troy, AL 36079". The county's own contribution beyond the contract is a cost exemption: "Social Security Exemptions for Solid Waste are now completed through the Pike County Commission Office." On the county's FAQ the whole of its garbage answer is: "Pike County uses a third party for garbage pickup. Please contact Meridian Waste for inquiries and questions regarding your garbage." Source Not confirmed: Neither the county nor the hauler publishes a bulky-item, large-item or extra-pickup service for Pike County, and neither states that none exists. A mattress is nowhere named. Not confirmed: No monthly or quarterly rate is published. Not confirmed: The facility address at 1626 County Road 3304, Troy is the hauler's own yard; nothing on the page offers it as a public drop-off or gives it a gate rate.
- There is no mattress recycler in Pike County and no state program that would fund one. Alabama is not among the Mattress Recycling Council's four program states — "California, Connecticut, Oregon and Rhode Island" — so there is no Bye Bye Mattress collection site anywhere in the state to look for. The Pike County Commission's Solid Waste page publishes no recycling program, no drop-off and no recycler; it names only the Meridian Waste collection contract and the Social Security exemption. The only permitted landfill in the county, per ADEM, is a private regional disposal site at Brundidge. Source Not confirmed: No facility in or serving Pike County publishes terms for recycling a mattress; this is an absence of published evidence rather than a stated refusal.

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.
