How to get rid of a mattress in Hialeah, FL.

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.

• Hialeah's Garbage Service page covers the regular household stream, which is separate from bulk: domestic garbage is collected twice per week, on Mondays and Thursdays or Tuesdays and Fridays depending on the designated area, between 6 am and 7 pm. 'Residents should not combine domestic garbage with yard or bulky debris.' Side-door service is available to residents with 'a written notice from a doctor or other legal proof that the customer is physically unable to use the curbside service'. Source Not confirmed: The page states no residential solid waste fee amount and does not identify the contractor.
• Checked directly whether Hialeah falls under Miami-Dade County's residential program: it does not. Miami-Dade County Solid Waste Management names the areas it collects in as 'Unincorporated Miami-Dade, Aventura, Cutler Bay, Doral, Miami Gardens, Miami Lakes, Opa-locka, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, Sunny Isles Beach, Sweetwater' — ten municipalities plus the unincorporated area. Hialeah is not among them, so Hialeah households are not county residential waste fee customers, the county's two bulky waste pickups per year of up to 25 cubic yards do not apply to them, and the county's mattress bagging rule is not the rule a Hialeah resident follows. Hialeah's own once-a-month bulk and yard waste collection is the applicable service. Source
• Not an option: Miami-Dade County's 13 Neighborhood Trash and Recycling Centers are closed to Hialeah residents. The county states: 'Only residential waste fee customers who reside in unincorporated Miami-Dade County and the cities of Aventura, Cutler Bay, Doral, Miami Gardens, Miami Lakes, Opa-locka, Palmetto Bay, Pinecrest, Sunny Isles Beach and Sweetwater may use these facilities', with a Florida driver's license or ID card showing a matching property address. Hialeah is not on the list, so the free county centers — including North Dade at 21500 NW 47 Avenue, the nearest to Hialeah — are not an option for a Hialeah mattress. Source
• Hialeah's own Disposal Sites page lists the facilities it refers residents to: Miami Dade County North Dade Landfill, 21500 NW 47th Avenue, Opa-locka, FL 33055, open 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., (305) 594-1500; Miami Dade County Home Chemical Collection Center, 8801 NW 58th St, Doral, FL 33178, Wednesday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., for oil-based paints, pool chemicals, pesticides, solvents, propane tanks and empty oxygen tanks; Progressive Waste/Waste Connections Transfer Station, 3680 NW 135th Street, Opa-locka, FL 33054, Monday through Friday 6:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. and Saturday 6:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M., 305-638-3800, which accepts 'Construction debris, Asphalt, Wooden fencing'; Waste Management Hialeah Transfer Station, 5000 NW 37th Ave, Miami, FL 33142, Monday through Friday 6:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. and Saturday 6:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M., 855-292-6719, which accepts 'Construction Materials and Yard debris, Wooden Fencing'; and the Waste Management/Home Depot Bagster bag for up to 3,300 lb of construction debris. Both transfer stations require a hard hat, safety shoes and safety vest to enter. Mattresses are named at none of the listed sites, and the two transfer stations list only construction, yard and fencing material. Source Not confirmed: The page publishes no fees for any listed site and does not say whether any of them will take a mattress from a Hialeah resident.
• Miami-Dade County's Landfills page, the nearest county disposal option to Hialeah that is not restricted to waste fee customers, describes who may deliver: 'Permitted private haulers, municipal waste haulers and permitted landscapers'. The North Dade Landfill is at 21500 NW 47th Ave, Miami, FL 33055 and the South Dade Landfill at 23707 SW 97th Ave, Homestead, FL 33032; both operate Monday through Sunday 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. North Dade accepts 'trash material like old furniture, lumber, crates, off-road tires...cardboard boxes and yard trash, along with construction and demolition debris'; South Dade accepts garbage, tires, animal carcasses, trash and yard trash, construction and demolition debris and asbestos. Fees are not listed on the page, which links out to a separate Disposal Fees schedule. Source Not confirmed: The page does not say whether an individual resident self-hauling in a private vehicle may use the landfills, publishes no per-ton or minimum fee, and does not name mattresses.
• Not an option: Goodwill South Florida, the Goodwill serving Hialeah, lists 'Mattress' under the Don'ts on its furniture donation guidelines. Furniture, housewares, electronics and linens are accepted at its donation centers, trailers and 30-plus stores, and a third-party partner offers paid pickup in Miami-Dade and Broward, but mattresses are refused. Source
• Not an option: The Habitat for Humanity ReStore serving Miami-Dade County is gone: 'The Miami Habitat ReStore is now PERMANENTLY CLOSED', the affiliate 'refocusing all efforts into our mission to provide affordable homeownership opportunities to low-income families in Miami-Dade County', and 'Donations of furniture and home goods are no longer being accepted.' The page refers donors instead to ReStores in the Upper Keys and Broward and to other charities. There is therefore no Habitat ReStore donation route for a Hialeah household item of any kind. Source
• Camillus House, the Miami homeless-services charity, takes in-kind goods: 'We warmly welcome items, including clothing, furniture, medical equipment and pet supplies for our Pet Kennel.' Donations go to one of three places — donation bins at the main campus, Camillus House, 1603 NW 7th Avenue, Miami, FL 33136; St. Louis Catholic Church, 7270 SW 120th Street, Miami, FL 33156; or, for larger donations, the Camillus House Warehouse, 2020 NW 23rd Street, Miami, FL 33142. Pickup of large donations is arranged at 786-299-3220. Source Not confirmed: The page names 'furniture' but neither accepts nor refuses mattresses in terms, so whether a bed can be donated is not stated.

• Florida DEP publishes a County Recycling Coordinator Listing (PDF/Excel) for finding county contacts; files dated March 14, 2014. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Florida DEP waste reduction pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source
