Roswell Transfer Station mattress drop-off
Open to residents and non-residents for non-construction material: "As of July 1, 2025, the Roswell Transfer Station accepts non-construction materials from both residents and non-residents." The rate turns on residence: "Proof of residence within Roswell city limits is required to receive resident rates." Construction and demolition material is taken from Roswell residents only and is "currently not accepted from non-residents".
Conditions and source
The Non-Construction Waste Fee Schedule effective July 1, 2025 groups "Boxspring, Couch, Mattress" together, free to a Roswell resident and "$20 Each" to a non-resident. Bagged trash is free to residents and $3 per bag otherwise; lamps, rugs and vacuums free or $10 each; ordinary furniture free or $15 each. Hours are "Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m." at 1810 Hembree Road, Alpharetta, GA 30009. Not accepted: hazardous waste (anti-freeze, gasoline, lighter fluid, pesticides, propane tanks), yard waste (grass clippings, mulch, rocks, sand, tree limbs) and recyclables (appliances, cardboard, electronics, household batteries, lawn mowers, oil, metal, paint, tires). Roswell residents are directed to city household hazardous waste events and to the Roswell Recycling Center for those categories instead.
- $0 — "Free" for a Roswell resident: the Non-Construction Waste Fee Schedule effective July 1, 2025 lists "Boxspring, Couch, Mattress" at a resident fee of Free and "Proof of residence within Roswell city limits is required to receive resident rates." Open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- $20 — "$20 Each" non-resident fee for "Boxspring, Couch, Mattress" under the same fee schedule effective July 1, 2025, since non-construction material has been accepted from non-residents as well as residents since July 1, 2025. A mattress and box spring would therefore be $40.00 for a household outside the Roswell city limits.
Not confirmed: The page does not state what form of proof of residence is accepted, nor any load limit on a resident's free drop-off.
Not confirmed: The page does not say what becomes of a mattress after drop-off, so the outcome is not established as recycling.
Not confirmed: No weekend hours are published.

Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

What Canton itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Canton's Solid Waste chapter sets a fine range for dumping and litter. Sec. 46-85 bars open dumping ("No solid waste may be disposed of by any person in an open dump, nor may any person cause, suffer, allow or permit open dumping on his property") and presumes a violation if an owner told in writing of dumping on their land does not give the chief of police written assurance within 15 days that it will be properly disposed of within 30. Sec. 46-86(c): a person who violates the litter article "shall be guilty of a violation and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished ... By a fine of not less than $200.00 and not more than $1,200.00", must "reimburse the city for the reasonable cost of removing the litter", may be ordered to pick up litter along up to one mile of road, and may have their name published. Sec. 46-25 puts the collection and transport of an occupant's solid waste on the owner or occupant unless a licensed collector is arranged. Source Not confirmed: The chapter read sets no set-out window for bulky items; the only curb rule for them is the page's 'do not place in the street or against utilities' wording. Not confirmed: Sec. 46-19 sends article penalties to Sec. 1-12 (not read); the $200 to $1,200 range is the litter article's own.
What Cherokee County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Canton and its neighbors.
- Cherokee County operates no county landfill. Its recycling center landfills page states: 'There are two privately owned landfills operating in Cherokee county. Landfills have their own fee's for weight or items... Large items, commercial material, construction debris, wood and any items not listed as acceptable will all have to go to a landfill.' Source Not confirmed: The page does not name the two private landfills, their addresses, their fees or whether they accept mattresses. Not confirmed: No county curbside bulky collection program is published anywhere on the county site.
- Not an option: Checked on 2026-09-22 for Cherokee County coverage. The Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta accepts 'Mattresses and Box Springs (in any condition)' but publishes a limited pickup area: 'The Furniture Bank's pickup area includes most of Cobb, Gwinnett, Fulton and DeKalb counties.' Cherokee County is not named in that list, so the Furniture Bank's donation pickup is not published as an option for Cherokee residents. Source

It notes scrap tires are banned from Georgia landfills but lists no mattress rule. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Georgia EPD 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.
