How to get rid of a mattress in Page, 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.

What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.

• Page's ordinance leaves no room for a mattress at the curb. City Code § 50.04(B) provides that containers "must remain closed, with a tight fitting lid at all times" and that "No trash rubbish or garbage, including recyclable and/or hazardous materials shall be placed or stored outside of an approved container." Containers must be stored "no closer to the street than the front building line of the principal dwelling" (§ 50.04(A)), placed "immediately adjacent to the street side of the curb" for collection (§ 50.04(C)), and "shall be set out after 6:00 p.m. on the day preceding regular collection and shall be removed from the curb by 6:00 p.m. on the day of collection" (§ 50.04(D)). Multi-family and manufactured-housing/RV-park collection areas must be "fully enclosed via a solid six-foot wall or fence and view obstructing gate and located on a concrete surface" and may not sit in front of a principal residential building (§§ 50.04(E), 50.05). Section 50.03 makes it unlawful to put refuse in a container you neither own nor are entitled to use as a tenant. Every one of these sections carries "Penalty, see § 10.99". Source Not confirmed: The chapter contains no bulky-item, large-item or special-pickup provision at all, so the code does not say how a Page resident may lawfully present a mattress for collection.
• Page does not collect its own refuse and does not publish the terms of the collection it licenses. City Code § 50.01(A): "The city has the exclusive right to engage in or authorize third parties to conduct the business of collection and disposing of all trash, rubbish or garbage, including recyclable and/or hazardous materials, for compensation within the city limits", and § 50.01(B) makes it unlawful for anyone else to haul refuse for compensation on a city street in violation of the code or of rules established by the city; § 50.01(C) preserves a property owner's or contractor's right to take construction debris to a proper landfill themselves. Section 50.02(A) then places the whole of the service in a contract: "If the City Council elects to contract with a private company... then the method and frequency of such collection, and the rates for such collection and disposal shall be fixed by the City Council in a written contract with the private company providing the service", and those terms "are expressly incorporated by reference into this chapter". Subsection B declares each such contract "a public record" to be "maintained in the office of the City Clerk for public inspection and review during normal business hours", and subsection C makes the City Manager responsible for notifying the community before any change in "services, schedules or procedures". Chapter 50 contains six sections and not one of them mentions a bulky item. Source Not confirmed: The refuse contract that sets Page's collection frequency, rates and any bulky-item allowance is a public record held at the City Clerk's office and is not published online, so its terms could not be read. Not confirmed: The city does not name its contracted hauler on any page we could read; Republic Services' own Page municipality page returned no readable content.
• The penalty behind Page's refuse rules is criminal, not a civil ticket. City Code § 10.99 (General Penalty): "Unless designated as a civil offense or otherwise within this code, any person found guilty of violating any provision of this code shall be guilty of a class 2 misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine and/or imprisonment consistent with the penalty for a class 2 misdemeanor". Chapter 50 designates no civil alternative, so the container, storage and set-out rules in § 50.04 are enforced on that footing. Source Not confirmed: The section states the class of misdemeanor rather than a dollar figure, and the maximum fine is set by state law rather than quoted in the code.
• Page's Code Compliance page is where the city explains the rule in plain terms, and it reaches furniture by name. The page sets out that "No person shall allow, deposit, store, accumulate or maintain garbage", trash, refuse, trash, litter or junk that is visible from beyond the lot boundaries, except for temporary storage in authorized receptacles for collection under Chapter 50, citing Title 9, Ch. 91.05(E), and carries "Penalty, see § 10.99". Its definitions are the ones enforced: "Junk" covers items "of little or no apparent or objective economic value" including "discarded or scrapped furniture"; "Garbage" is household waste "permitted to be placed in on-site receptacles"; "Trash" includes "pieces of wood, rubber or plastic, boxes, barrels or crates"; "Refuse" is "All biodegradable or non-biodegradable solid or semisolid wastes". A mattress or bed frame left in a Page yard where it can be seen from the street is therefore junk within the ordinance. Source Not confirmed: The page does not name a mattress specifically, and does not publish a fine amount or an abatement timetable.
• The clearest evidence that Page runs no collection or drop-off of its own for bulky household waste is its own price list. The City of Page 2026 Consolidated Fee Schedule, adopted by Resolution 1345-26 on June 10, 2026, has sections for airport, building permits, business licenses, cemetery, community center meals, records, facility use, fire department services, Horseshoe Bend, insufficient funds, library, liquor licenses, planning and zoning, police, Public Works and special events. There is no sanitation, refuse, trash, garbage, solid waste, bulk-item, landfill or transfer-station fee anywhere in it. The entire Public Works Fees table reads: "Clean fill dirt - $1.50 per cubic yards", "Disposal of rubble (concrete, masonry, asphalt, clean earth, and rock) - $1.00 per cubic yard (over 30 cubic yards)" and "Right-of-Way Fee - $25.00". So the city charges for construction rubble and clean fill and for nothing else in the disposal line: household refuse in Page is billed by the contracted private hauler under the Chapter 50 contract, and the city itself publishes no bulky-item pickup and no price for one. Source Not confirmed: The absence of a sanitation fee in the city schedule is consistent with the hauler billing residents directly, but the hauler's residential and bulky-item rates for Page are not published anywhere we could read. Not confirmed: Whether the rubble and clean-fill rates are charged at a city yard open to the public, and where, is not stated in the fee schedule.
• Page does have a waste facility in town, and this is the single most useful fact for a town this isolated - but its terms are not published. ADEQ's Waste Transfer Stations list for Coconino County (revised September 24, 2025) records the "Page Transfer Station", self-certified, over 180 cubic yards, "Operator: Republic Services, Inc.", contact "Rod Van Zee - 928-645-3885", mailing address PO Box 4719, Page, AZ 86040, "Location: 3004 Coppermine Rd, Page, AZ 86040". The same county list shows how thin the alternatives are: county-run transfer stations at Badger Creek (Hwy 89 and Badger Creek Access), Mormon Lake and Willard Springs (Munds Park), a Town of Fredonia station at 45 S. Juniper Street, City of Williams stations at Lake Ellen and 575 East Frank Way, a Grand Canyon National Park station, and the City of Flagstaff Hazardous Products Center at the landfill - every one of them well over an hour from Page, and the county's own sites are not household bulky-waste facilities. Source Not confirmed: No hours, gate rate, minimum charge, residency rule or mattress policy is published for the Page Transfer Station by ADEQ, by the city, or by Republic Services, so it cannot be listed as a drop-off a reader can rely on. Not confirmed: Whether the Page Transfer Station accepts a self-haul load from a household at all is not published.
• For Page the distance is the story. The nearest facility with published terms that certainly takes household bulky waste is the City of Flagstaff's Cinder Lake Landfill, 6770 E. Landfill Rd, Flagstaff, AZ 86004, (928) 213-2125, open Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (last load 4:15) and Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (last load 3:45), closed Sundays and city holidays, with a $20 charge for an unsecured load. It is at the far southern end of Coconino County - roughly 130 road miles from Page, which is our own estimate from the two addresses and not a figure either operator publishes - and Page residents pay the landfill's county-resident rates rather than the free city-resident rate, since that free rate requires proof of City of Flagstaff trash service. A day's round trip for one mattress is the honest answer for Page unless the local transfer station on Coppermine Road takes it, which nobody publishes. Source Not confirmed: Neither the landfill page nor the county publishes a driving distance or travel time from Page; the 130-mile figure is an estimate from the two street addresses and should be treated as approximate. Not confirmed: Mattresses are not itemized in Flagstaff's landfill fee schedule, so a Page resident's cost is the county-resident residential solid waste load rate rather than a per-mattress price. Not confirmed: Nothing local to Page publishes a mattress donation or reuse option; the nearest Habitat ReStore, in Flagstaff, refuses mattresses and box springs outright.

• 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
