Frederick large-item pickup (Waste Connections town contract)
Residential customers of the Town of Frederick, whose trash service is an exclusive Town contract with Waste Connections Denver billed on the Town water bill.
Conditions and source
Anything that will not fit in the 96-gallon cart must be booked with Waste Connections at 303.288.2100 in advance - the Town's Garbage & Recycling page says at least 24 hours before the weekly pickup, its Pickup Guidelines page says at least 48 hours - and "will incur an additional charge". Payment is taken on the pickup day by leaving a check on the door or by credit card over the phone. The examples the Town gives are furniture and carpet; a mattress is not named. Collection day is Friday east of I-25 and Tuesday west of I-25, carts and items out by 7am, with a one-day delay in weeks containing a major holiday.
Not confirmed: The additional charge is not published in any figure by the Town or the hauler.
Not confirmed: Mattresses are not named among the large items the Town says the hauler will take.

6Donation options in Frederick
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 Frederick itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Not an option: Frederick publishes no mattress-specific recycling route. Its Garbage & Recycling page names exactly two destinations besides the cart - Waste Connections for anything set out beside the cart, and the Weld County Household Hazardous Waste Facility (970.304.6415) for cleaners, paints, batteries, aerosols, motor oil, oil filters, gasoline, antifreeze and pesticides, none of which is a mattress. The recycling links it offers are the hauler's own residential recycling and hard-to-recycle guides, and the only diversion claim it makes about its waste stream is the Front Range Landfill Green Energy Project, which is landfill gas capture, not mattress recycling. Colorado has no statewide mattress stewardship program, so there is no Bye Bye Mattress site here. Source
- Not an option: The Carbon Valley Help Center is the charity Frederick's own Clean-Up Days page asks residents to support, and it will not take a mattress. Its donation page asks only for non-perishable food and new, unopened toiletries, and publishes a "WE DO NOT ACCEPT / Please Do Not Donate" list covering clothing, household items, diapers, disposable adult briefs, over-the-counter medicines and pet food. One of its three drop-off points is in Frederick - the Carbon Valley Rec Center, 701 5th Street - but for food only. The Center is at 150 Buchanan Ave, Firestone, 303.833.6626. Source
What Weld County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Frederick and its neighbors.
- Not an option: Pawnee is an industrial-sector facility and explicitly rejects consumer and municipal solid waste. It requires an approved waste profile and manifest for accepted industrial loads. Historical 2024 reporting is retained; this is not a household mattress route and is not a closure finding. Source Not confirmed: No inference about other Weld facilities.
Colorado mattress disposal rules
- 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

What to check before you go
- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- 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.
