How to get rid of a mattress in Commerce City, CO.

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.

• The primary page identifies the facility as 4975 Pontiac St, Commerce City, and describes mattress/box-spring drop-off. Standard per-piece fees differ from special-condition fees. Source Not confirmed: Resolve the secondary-directory address discrepancy in the facility record. Not confirmed: Verify residency and customer eligibility before extending service claims to nearby places.
• Sources disagree: Page mixes 2025 events with ongoing bulk program text and gives additional pickup rates of both $16 and $16.72. Quarterly bulky allowance is described, but mattress inclusion is not established. Historical landfill-day rules explicitly charge mattresses/box springs at gate rate. Source Not confirmed: Resolve current year and conflicting prices. Not confirmed: Verify mattress inclusion in quarterly bulk allowance.
• Special-condition section lists $50 for bedbug-infested bedding, which must be sealed in plastic; $60 per piece for water, air and mechanical beds; $10 per topper. These are separate published item categories, not a calculated surcharge total. Pickup exceeding six pieces doubles transportation; expedited transport also doubles. Ground-level outdoor pickup remains required. These additions refine the prior special-condition gap; residency and address eligibility remain unknown. Source Not confirmed: Do not stack alternative item categories; combined-condition treatment and fee interactions unknown. Not confirmed: Residency and address-level pickup eligibility unresolved.
• Commerce City's current Trash & Recycling page states that "Republic Services is the citywide hauler for Commerce City's residential trash and recycling program", that "Large-item pickup is included. Residents can schedule one bulk pickup per quarter for free" and that "Additional pickups can be scheduled for $21.75 each", booked by calling "Republic Services at 303.286.1200 (M-F, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.)". The accepted list for that bulk pickup is "Wood, drywall, windows, doors, decking, carpet, flooring, small appliances, metal furniture, household trash, linens, clothes, toys, bikes, and auto body panels" and the excluded list is "Concrete, bricks, chemicals, refrigerators, freezers, lawn mowers, tires, vehicle batteries, motor oil containers, hazardous waste, needles, and syringes". A mattress appears on neither list. The only mattress wording on the page belongs to the free landfill days at Tower Landfill: "Mattresses and box springs are subject to the current gate rate fee". The page also sets the local set-out rules - "Place your containers out at the curb or in the alley no later than 7 a.m. Drivers will begin their collection promptly at 7 a.m. Place containers at least 2 feet apart and with 6 feet of space between any other objects at the curb" - and for the annual Neighborhood Curbside Cleanup Day allows "up to five large items at the curb for FREE pickup", placed "at the curb by 7 a.m. on the Saturday of your scheduled pick-up" and "stacked neatly (no more than 4 feet wide, 8 feet long, and 4 feet high)". Source Not confirmed: Whether a mattress or box spring may be put out on the free quarterly bulk pickup is still not published: the item is named nowhere in the accepted or excluded lists, and the gate-rate sentence applies only to landfill days. Not confirmed: Whether a mattress counts toward the five items on Neighborhood Curbside Cleanup Day is not stated. Not confirmed: The City's My Home page prices an additional bulk pickup at $16 each where this page says $21.75; the two City pages are not reconciled. Not confirmed: No illegal dumping penalty amount or code section is published on this page.

• Resources page still labels its rate link 2023 Gate Rate Sheet, while the separate Disposal Rates page links a PDF explicitly titled 2026. Preserve the link-label discrepancy rather than interpreting every resource as current. Source
• CDPHE list of residential materials prohibited from Colorado solid waste sites: lead-acid batteries, free liquids, used oil, waste tires, electronic devices/computers. Mattresses not listed. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on CDPHE pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source
