How to get rid of a mattress in Kingman, AZ.

Companies that come to your home and carry the mattress out, so you need no vehicle. The prices below are starting prices unless stated — stairs, box springs and extra items add to them.

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.

• Kingman's rule on leaving a mattress out is in the nuisance article of the city code, and it carries published minimum fines. Section 7-165(c): "No person shall allow, deposit, store, accumulate or maintain garbage, trash, refuse, rubbish, litter or junk, except as authorized for collection under the Kingman Municipal Utilities Regulations." Section 7-165(d) requires owners and occupants to "keep the sidewalks or public places fronting or bordering their property free of garbage, trash, refuse, rubbish, litter or junk", with a proviso that this "shall not prohibit the temporary storage of such materials in authorized receptacles for collection in compliance with the Kingman Municipal Utilities Regulations"; an "Authorized private receptacle" is defined as "a litter, refuse or trash storage and collection receptacle as required and authorized pursuant to the City of Kingman Municipal Utilities Regulations". Penalties under § 7-166 set "A minimum fine" of "$150.00" for a first offense, "$250.00" for a second within sixty months of a prior public nuisance conviction and "$500.00" for a third or subsequent, with the money going to a city abatement fund; § 7-167 makes each day a violation continues a separate offense. In practice that means a mattress put out at the curb without a booked Extra Trash haul is a citable nuisance in Kingman, at a minimum of $150. Source Not confirmed: The Kingman Municipal Utilities Regulations referred to by §§ 7-164 and 7-165 are a separate document that we did not read, so the precise window in which a bulky item may lawfully sit at the curb awaiting a booked haul is not established.
• Kingman has no city-run drop-off, so a resident hauling a mattress themselves uses Mohave County's Cerbat Sanitary Landfill north of town. The county's directions are "12.5 miles north of I-40 on Hwy 93, then right on Mineral Park Road for 4 miles"; hours are Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., closed Sundays and holidays, (928) 565-2777. Rates effective January 2026: refuse $42.45 per ton, minimum charge $8.00 per load, $45.00 each for a device containing refrigerant, and a $1.50 credit-card fee. No per-mattress fee and no residency requirement are published, so the practical answer for one mattress is the $8.00 minimum load charge unless it weighs enough to exceed it. Source Not confirmed: The county page publishes no per-mattress price and does not state how a light bulky load is charged against the $8.00 minimum. Not confirmed: Road distance from Kingman city limits is not published; only the directions from I-40.
• There is a second, closer waste facility at Kingman, but it cannot be recommended on what is published. ADEQ's Waste Transfer Stations list (revised September 24, 2025) records a "Kingman Transfer Station", self-certified, over 180 cubic yards, operated by "Waste Management of Arizona, Inc.", contact Alan Rush - 928-718-4904, mailing address 3250 Gatlin Dr, Kingman, AZ 86402, located at "3250 South Gatlin Drive, Kingman, AZ 86413". ADEQ also records a county-operated "Littlefield Transfer Station" at the entrance gate on Highway 91 in the far north-west of Mohave County. WM's own Kingman page publishes no facility address, hours, accepted materials or rates for either, so neither has the published terms a reader could act on, and the answer for a Kingman mattress remains the city's Extra Trash haul or the Cerbat landfill. Source Not confirmed: No hours, gate rate, minimum charge or mattress policy is published for the Kingman Transfer Station by either ADEQ or WM, so it is not listed as an option. Not confirmed: Whether the Kingman Transfer Station accepts self-haul residential loads at all, as opposed to commercial collection vehicles, is not published.
• Kingman has nothing mattress-specific, and its recycling offer has narrowed: the city's Solid Waste page states plainly that "The Kingman EZ Recycling Program has been discontinued as of June 30, 2026". What remains on the page is twice-weekly refuse collection, the chargeable Extra Trash haul, and one-time events such as a Mohave Community College technology recycling drive at the City of Kingman Public Works Yard, 3700 E. Andy Devine Ave. No mattress recycler, mattress take-back or mattress collection event is named, and Arizona has no statewide mattress recycling program. Source Not confirmed: Whether anything hauled as Extra Trash is diverted rather than landfilled is not published.

• New River county address is 41835 North New River Road, Phoenix 85087, while ADEQ lists 41835 N Lake Pleasant, Peoria 85382. Rainbow Valley county street number is 17795 versus ADEQ 17735. Cave Creek county city label differs from ADEQ Carefree. Source
• County receiving list includes 15 transfer stations plus Western Regional Landfill. It differs from ADEQ on Double Adobe direction (6996 N versus S Central Highway), Bowie ZIP (85643 versus 85605), Tombstone ZIP (85638 versus 85352), Sunsites city/ZIP and Bisbee road spelling (Tovreaville versus Torveaville).

• ADEQ Composting, Recycling & HHW FAQs (revised Oct. 28, 2025) read in full, including the collapsed accordion panels. No statewide mattress stewardship program, landfill ban or retailer take-back appears anywhere on the page. The resident recycling panel tells people to use the ADEQ eMap or to search "City of [where you live] recycling", and if the municipality offers nothing, to search "[County you live in] recycling" for a drop-off service. Mattress disposal in Arizona is handled by local governments. Source
• The statewide locator ADEQ links from its recycling pages is the "Arizona Recycling Locator" ArcGIS Experience app. Its own text says the app covers E-Waste, Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and General Recycling in your community, and carries an ADEQ disclaimer that it cannot verify the listed items will be accepted at all locations and that residents should contact the facility. There is no mattress or bulky-item category among the three advertised layers. Source
• Mattress Recycling Council's Program States page names exactly four states where it operates recycling programs under enacted mattress recycling laws: California, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Oregon. Arizona is not among them, confirming there is no MRC-run mattress stewardship program or Bye Bye Mattress free drop-off network in Arizona. Source
