How to get rid of a mattress in Monument, 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 Town of Monument runs no trash collection and no bulky-item program, so there is no town service to put a mattress out for. The town's own site map lists every page on the site: under Public Works the only divisions are Streets, Water Department and Stormwater Quality; the town's only utility is the Water Department (water billing, water rates and fees, watering schedule, water quality reports); Code Enforcement covers junk vehicles, right-of-way sign enforcement, snow-route enforcement and truck and RV parking. Nothing in the site map is a solid waste, refuse, sanitation, trash, recycling, clean-up-day, large-item or bulky-item page. Monument residents subscribe individually to a private hauler. Source Not confirmed: The finding is an absence across the town's own complete site map rather than a statement by the town that it provides no collection. Not confirmed: Whether Monument licenses haulers, and any hauler bulky-item terms, are not published by the town.
• Not an option: The thrift shop inside Monument will not take a mattress. Silver Key Senior Services publishes two thrift stores: the Tri-Lakes location at 586 W Hwy 105, Monument 80132, open Monday through Saturday 10am-5pm, and the Colorado Springs location at 1605 S Murray Blvd, open Monday through Saturday 9am-4pm. The store page itself carries no accepted-items list, but the same organization's published donation guidelines explicitly reject mattresses, box springs and bed pillows (recorded at observation co-168), and El Paso County's 2026 Recycling Directory lists the Silver Key thrift stores with the note "no stuffed furniture or mattresses". A Monument resident should not drive a mattress to this store. Source Not confirmed: The Tri-Lakes store page publishes no item list of its own, so the refusal rests on the organization-wide donation guidelines and the county directory rather than on this location's own page. Not confirmed: El Paso County's 2026 directory gives the Tri-Lakes store's address as 755 CO-105, Palmer Lake 80133, while Silver Key's own current page gives 586 W Hwy 105, Monument 80132; the operator's own address is used here.

• 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
