Cheapest
Morgan County Landfill — mattress drop-off
The county's MSW Acceptance Policy states it is "for non-hazardous waste generated in Morgan County only", and lists mattresses among the items that "will be accepted on special fee schedule from county residents only and may require separation". The Solid Waste Management Department adds that "The Solid Waste Disposal Facilities of Morgan County are designed to provide services for municipal solid waste (MSW) generated by the residents of Morgan County." Out-of-county waste is accepted but surcharged at $20.00 per ton.
Conditions and source
Mattresses are a Municipal Solid Waste Exclusion item and "must be disposed of in a Separate Area"; "If these Items are disposed of at the trash dumping area the charge is-- DOUBLE". The $5.00 per mattress charge is "each plus weight", on top of the load's weight or volume charge and the $14.50 minimum fee. Hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. year round, Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. March through December, and in January and February only the first Saturday of the month; closed Sundays, major holidays, high wind days and days when county offices close for weather. "ALL LOADS MUST BE TARPED AND/OR CONTAINED" — an uncovered or uncontained load costs double or $25, whichever is greater. Cash, in-county checks and debit/credit cards are accepted, with a card convenience fee of 75¢ plus 2.50%. There is "No 'on-demand' acceptance" of special-waste items, and the county "reserves the right to refuse any and all wastes".
- $5 — 2026 Disposal Fee Schedule: "Mattresses ......... $5.00 each plus weight". The item charge is additional to the load's weight or volume charge and to the minimum fee. Mattresses must go in the separate Municipal Solid Waste Exclusion area — "If these Items are disposed of at the trash dumping area the charge is-- DOUBLE".
- $14.50 — 2026 Disposal Fee Schedule: "MINIMUM FEE - (Plus State User Fee**) $14.50" — the least any load pays, before the per-mattress charge. Weighable municipal solid waste is otherwise $40.43 per ton including the state user fee.
Not confirmed: The weight component added to the $5.00 mattress charge is not quantified for a mattress, so a single-mattress total cannot be stated.
Not confirmed: How county residency is evidenced at the gate is not published.
Not confirmed: Whether mattresses are recycled or buried is not stated; mattresses are not among the site's published recycling streams.

Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

What Fort Morgan itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Retrieved FAQ names Bob Evins at 970-542-3988, unlike current department and mobile FAQ naming Jim Willis at 970-542-3987. Both require scheduling mattress pickup. Preserve discrepancy; prefer corroborated department/mobile number. Source Not confirmed: Legacy contact discrepancy; do not publish old number as verified current.
- Mobile FAQ corroborates Jim Willis 970-542-3987 for scheduled mattress pickup. Separate annual spring cleanup usually late March is free for residents, excludes businesses/contractors and takes items to landfill; no current event date established. Source Not confirmed: Do not extend seasonal free pricing or landfill outcome to ordinary scheduled mattress collection; next event dates unknown.
- Not an option: March 24 2026 notice fixes spring-cleanup set-out dates at April 11–19, not a currently available free route. Residential city sanitation customers only; businesses/contractors excluded; crews do not enter private property. Notice says post-April-19 set-outs incur charges. Source Not confirmed: Next event dates unknown. Event conditions and free pricing do not establish ordinary scheduled mattress terms.
What Morgan County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Fort Morgan and its neighbors.
- The county's 2026 Landfill Hours of Operation and Holiday Schedule confirms the gate hours at 21448 County Rd. 22, Fort Morgan and names every 2026 closure, which matters when the drive is long. Hours: "MONDAY through FRIDAY 8:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M."; "SATURDAY: (Regular Hours) March thru December--8:00 A.M. to 12 Noon"; winter Saturdays are limited to "January 9th and February 6th" as the only Saturdays open, 8:00 A.M. to 12 Noon; "Sunday and Major Holidays CLOSED"; "High Wind Days CLOSED". Closed dates in 2026 are New Year's Day January 1, Presidents Day February 16, Memorial Day May 25, Independence Day Saturday, July 4, Labor Day September 7, Veterans Day Wednesday, November 11, Thanksgiving Thursday, November 26 and Saturday, November 28, Christmas Day Friday, December 25 and Saturday, December 26, and New Year's Day January 1, 2027 with Saturday, January 2, 2027. The landfill stays open on Martin Luther King Day January 19, Juneteenth June 19, Friday, July 3, Columbus Day October 12, and is open 8 a.m. to noon on Friday, November 27. The schedule also lists January 3 and February 7 as open winter Saturdays, which does not match the "January 9th and February 6th" line in the hours block on the same sheet. Source Not confirmed: The sheet contradicts itself on which winter Saturdays are open — the holiday list gives January 3 and February 7, the hours block gives January 9 and February 6. A winter Saturday visit needs a phone call first.
- Morgan County runs no collection service, so there is no county bulky-item pickup for a rural Morgan County household. The county's Public Works Department page describes exactly two divisions and nothing else: the Road & Bridge Department, which "provides maintenance and construction of roads, bridges and storm drainage facilities in the public right-of-way", and the Solid Waste Management Department, which "is responsible for solid waste management, recycling, and a variety of environmental and resource management functions" and whose facilities "are designed to provide services for municipal solid waste (MSW) generated by the residents of Morgan County". No refuse collection, bulky-item, large-item or special pickup program appears under Public Works or anywhere in the county's department listing. A mattress in unincorporated Morgan County is therefore a self-haul to the county landfill, or a private hauler. Scheduled mattress pickup inside Fort Morgan is a City of Fort Morgan sanitation service, not a county one, and is recorded separately at the city level. Source Not confirmed: No county-wide amnesty, free dump day or clean-up event is published by Morgan County; whether one exists was not established. Not confirmed: No county-wide donation outlet accepting mattresses was established for Morgan County.

- 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.
