Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Broomfield and its neighbors.

• Not an option: Broomfield County's only public drop-off site refuses mattresses in writing, and its eligibility rule is the strictest of the two counties in this pass. The Broomfield Recycle Center, 225 Commerce Street, Broomfield, CO 80020, telephone 720-887-2141, is "available only to Broomfield residents" with "NO COMMERCIAL USE", and unusually it is "Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!" with staff reachable by phone or email Monday–Friday 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m. But the scope is curbside recycling only: "Only curbside-type recycling is accepted, such as cardboard, newspaper, plastic containers, aluminum cans and lids, and other items." The not-accepted list names "mattresses" explicitly, alongside scrap metal, textiles, furniture, automotive parts, electronics, pallets, styrofoam, appliances, plastic bags, paint and yard waste. So the free, always-open, residents-only county facility a Broomfield resident would naturally drive to is not a mattress option, and the county publishes no fee-paying alternative gate of its own.

• Broomfield County owns no landfill, no transfer station and no convenience center that will take a mattress, and it does not contract one. The City and County's A-Z Recycling Guide — the county's own directory, and the page a resident is sent to — answers the mattress question by naming three facilities, every one of them outside Broomfield County: Eco-Cycle's Center for Hard-to-Recycle Materials in Boulder, SustainAbility's hard-to-recycle center in Arvada (Jefferson County) and Spring Back Colorado in Commerce City (Adams County). There is no county gate to drive to and no per-ton or per-load county rate to quote, because there is no county facility. The practical consequence for a Broomfield resident self-hauling a mattress is a drive of roughly ten to twenty miles into a neighboring county, to a private recycler charging a per-item fee, or a wait for one of the county's two curbside routes. Separately, the county's own Recycle Center at 225 Commerce Street excludes mattresses by name, so the one municipal site inside the county is closed to them. Source Not confirmed: The guide prints no fee amounts for the three named facilities, only that each charges. Not confirmed: No transfer station or landfill inside Broomfield County was identified, so the nearest fee-paying tipping gate for a mattress is not established from county sources.
• Broomfield County publishes a flat bulky-item price, which is rarer than it should be and is the number a mattress owner actually needs: on the Residential Waste Services fee table, "Items too large to be placed in a closed trash cart can be picked up by Waste Connections for $25 per item." That is arranged directly with the hauler at 303-288-2100 or through its online pickup request form, not with the county. The same table sets the ordinary service charges the bulky fee sits on top of — 35-gallon cart $10.72 a month, 65-gallon $19.84, 95-gallon $30.56, with extra trash bags at $3.50 each. A mattress is plainly an item too large for a closed cart, so $25 is the published county-wide price for having one taken from the curb, charged per item: a mattress and its box spring are two items on the face of the wording. The fee page does not restate who is eligible, so the program eligibility recorded separately governs. Source Not confirmed: The fee table does not name mattresses specifically; the $25 rests on "items too large to be placed in a closed trash cart". Not confirmed: No per-collection item limit, notice period or set-out rule is published on the fee page. Not confirmed: Whether a mattress and box spring are charged as one item or two is not stated.
• Not an option: arc Thrift Stores, the thrift chain with the widest store network across Broomfield and the north metro and the one most residents try, refuses mattresses. Its donation guidelines list "Mattresses (Including Crib Mattresses), Box Springs" among the items it will not accept, with no exception for new or lightly used stock and no exception noted for a mattress arriving with other furniture. Habitat for Humanity of Metro Denver, whose ReStores and pickup zone also reach Broomfield County, refuses mattresses in the same terms. Between them that closes the two obvious reuse routes for a Broomfield County resident, and no county-wide donation outlet accepting mattresses was established for Broomfield in this pass. Recorded as a refusal because both chains take furniture generally, which is precisely why people load the mattress in with it. Source Not confirmed: No donation outlet accepting mattresses was established for Broomfield County; whether a furniture bank serving the county exists is unresolved.
