How to get rid of a mattress in Louisville, 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

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.

• Current city page identifies Republic Services as the contracted hauler and directs new/returning customers to utility billing for eligibility verification. Historical Western Disposal documents cannot establish current benefits. Source Not confirmed: Follow current Republic portal for mattress acceptance, bulk allowance, pricing and conditions.
• Browser review: customer bulk events August 22 and 29, 2026 are past. Five items maximum, street gutter by 7 a.m., no alley. October 17 and 24 are leaf/branch events, not bulk mattress events. Mattress-specific acceptance not explicit. Source Not confirmed: Verify on-demand mattress acceptance, price, conditions and outcome; do not promote expired bulk dates.
• Browser rates page effective September 1, 2026 lists residential cart subscriptions and extra bag tags, but no mattress fee. Bag tag price is not a mattress charge. Source Not confirmed: Obtain current mattress-specific on-demand terms; subscription prices do not establish disposal cost.
• The city page confirms the contract behind that bulk list: "We offer curbside trash, recycling, and compost collection through Republic Services," with Republic customer service at (303) 286-5400 and city utility billing at (303) 335-4501 or CustomerService@LouisvilleCO.gov for eligibility. The only price the city itself publishes is for extra bagged trash, not bulky items: "A Trash tag costs $4.00 (cash, credit/debit card, or check). You must place one on each 35-gallon size trash bag out for collection," tags are bought at the Recreation and Senior Center, 900 Via Appia Way, and "Bags outside of your cart without a Trash tag will not be collected." A trash tag is not a mattress charge and cannot be used as one; the city page carries no bulky-item or mattress fee at all. Source Not confirmed: The city page does not mention bulky or large item pickup, mattresses, or the quarterly free bulk pickup at all; only Republic's own bulk list does.
• Louisville's mattress-specific answer, and it is unusual: the city has replaced its old Spring Cleaning event with a Hard-to-Recycle Voucher Program run with Eco-Cycle, giving a one-time-use $25 voucher for every Louisville household to spend at the Eco-Cycle Center for Hard-to-Recycle Materials, 6400 Arapahoe Rd, Boulder. "Mattresses" are listed among the items the voucher covers, beside electronics, scrap metal, appliances and fire extinguishers. It is "Limited to one voucher per Louisville resident sign up"; registration is through Eventbrite, publicised via city newsletters, utility bills and social media, and the confirmation email is both the voucher and the proof of residency. "Your voucher is valid through December 31, 2026," the voucher "may not cover the full cost of all items," and "If the total amount of the 25$ voucher is not used, any left-over amount not used will not be eligible to be used at a later time." Set against the CHaRM's published 2026 rates of $30 per mattress or box spring plus a $3 per-vehicle facility fee, the voucher covers most but not all of a single mattress drop-off, and the unused balance is forfeited, so it is worth spending on a full load rather than one item. Source Not confirmed: Whether the voucher program is renewed for 2027 is not published. Not confirmed: The page does not say whether the $3 CHaRM facility fee can be paid with the voucher or must be paid separately. Not confirmed: The number of vouchers available is not published, only the one-per-household limit.

• 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
