How to get rid of a mattress in Greeley, 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.

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

• Greeley's Code Compliance page publishes the city's Trash/Refuse standard, which is the rule a resident setting a mattress out is governed by. It states that property owners, tenants and occupants must keep property clean and free of accumulated refuse, and defines refuse as including 'garbage, discarded household items, scrap materials, appliances, machinery, abandoned or inoperable vehicles, and any furniture designed for indoor use that is stored outdoors' - which covers a mattress left in a yard, on a porch or beside a bin. On set-out the page states: 'Trash may be placed at the curb for one 24-hour period per week for collection, but may not otherwise accumulate on the property.' It adds that 'It is also unlawful to throw, sweep, or place refuse into streets, alleys, gutters, sidewalks, or onto neighboring property', and that refuse left beyond what is ordinarily expected for normal use, or stored so as to create a nuisance, 'is considered a violation and may result in enforcement action'. The page cites GMC Chapter 12, Article 5: Refuse and Litter Control as the source, and gives Code Compliance at 1100 10th Street, 970-350-9833, code.compliance@greeleygov.com, Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. Greeley has no city-run trash collection (see pl-co2-gr-001), so the 24-hour curb window applies to whichever private hauler the household uses. Source Not confirmed: The page states no fine amount or penalty range for a refuse or set-out violation; it refers only to 'enforcement action' Not confirmed: The page publishes no wrapping, bagging or mattress-specific set-out requirement Not confirmed: The full text of GMC Chapter 12, Article 5 was not retrieved, so the ordinance-level penalty schedule is unverified
• City of Greeley's trash and recycling page states the city partners with private waste companies for residential curbside service and names Waste Management, Republic Services and Mountain High Disposal as the providers; drop-off partners listed (Alter Trading, GROW Center, Schaefer Enterprises, Crabtree Brewing) take metals, organics, paper, bulbs and glass only. No city-operated curbside trash or bulk-item collection and no mattress program is described; questions go to Greeley311 at 970-351-5311. Source Not confirmed: Individual hauler bulky-item terms and any mattress surcharge are not published by the city. Not confirmed: The absence of a municipal bulk-item program is read from the city's pages rather than stated outright.
• Greeley's annual Spring Clean-Up, the city's one large-item event, ran Friday and Saturday May 8-9, 2026, 8am-5pm, at the site west of 14th Avenue and A Street.

The event is open to City of Greeley residents only and a valid photo ID showing Greeley residency is required. Freon appliances are limited to one per household and tires to four. Contact 970-350-9336. Source Not confirmed: The 2026 event has already passed; 2027 dates and fees are unannounced, so this is not a year-round option.

• 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
