2City curbside pickup in College Park
College Park’s own collection service takes the mattress from outside your home. You normally have to book a date in advance and follow their wrapping rules.
City of College Park curbside bulk trash collection (fee not published)
Occupied units inside College Park city limits. Code section 10-110.1(a)(1) requires owners and non-owners of all units the city serves to use the city collection and disposal system and pay the fees the city sets, and treats each apartment or condominium unit as a residential unit unless the complex has dumpster service. Section 10-122 provides that "No waste collections shall be made by the city forces outside the city limits."
Conditions and source
The city's Sanitation page lists "Bulk trash collection at the curb for a fee" among the division's services and states no fee. Nothing in the city's published rate schedule sets one: it prices single-family residential sanitation at $16.50 rising to $18.15 a month, apartment units at $16.50 rising to $18.15 plus a 12% container fee, and light commercial at $17.50 rising to $19.25, with no bulk line. The code sets no bulk fee either. It prices only appliance removal, at "seven dollars and fifty cents ($7.50) per appliance," and tires at "one dollar and fifty cents ($1.50) for each tire," both arranged through the tax office at city hall under section 10-113 and "paid in advance of the scheduled pick-up," with items at the curb no more than one day before. The only general mechanism is section 10-120, under which "The sanitation superintendent may remove any waste materials for which no provision is made in this division, provided the cost that is determined by the superintendent as being reasonable for the service performed, is paid by the person making application." Cutting the other way, section 10-113.2 lists as "not collectible by the city" both "(7) All items weighing in excess of seventy-five (75) pounds" and "(8) Bulky waste," bulky waste being defined at section 10-110(2) as furniture and similar materials "with weights or volumes greater than those allowed" — "greater than seventy-five (75) pounds per loading." Residential collection is twice a week; trash must not be put at the curb more than 48 hours before the assigned day, must stay off vacant lots and other people's property, and Sanitation is at 2233 Harvard Avenue, College Park, GA 30337, 404-669-3780.
Not confirmed: The city advertises bulk trash collection "for a fee" and no published instrument sets that fee: not the rate schedule, not the code. Section 10-120 leaves it to whatever the sanitation superintendent judges reasonable, so it must not be read as free.
Not confirmed: The code never names a mattress, and sections 10-110(2) and 10-113.2 make anything over 75 lb non-collectible. A mattress runs 50 to 100 lb, so whether a given mattress qualifies is unresolved on the city's own terms.
Not confirmed: No set-out time of day, booking method or item limit is published for a bulk collection.
Not confirmed: The rate schedule is dated July 1, 2020 and may not be current.

Visit siteFurniture Bank of Metro Atlanta mattress donation pickup
Donors inside the Furniture Bank's pickup area, which 'includes most of Cobb, Gwinnett, Fulton and DeKalb counties', confirmed by entering a zip code on the pickup request form.
Conditions and source
Mattresses and box springs are accepted in any condition. Specialty beds (bunk, loft, murphy, water beds), mattress toppers, futons, cribs, sleeper sofas and items over six feet tall are refused. Two scheduled pickup tiers are offered: a standard service described as free to low cost and a priority service at low to medium cost; neither handles large appliances or disassembly.

Not confirmed: The pickup tiers are described only as 'Free - Low' and 'Low - Medium' cost; no dollar amounts are published.
Not confirmed: 'Most of ... Fulton' is not defined by zip code, so coverage of an individual Atlanta address is not guaranteed.

CHaRM DeKalb mattress and box spring drop-off (by appointment)
Open to residents and businesses: the fee page prices both and states no residency rule. Appointments are required.

The same non-profit's mattress post, recorded for CHaRM Atlanta, accepts spring mattresses only and refuses foam, foam toppers and wet or heavily soiled mattresses.

Visit siteClayton County Landfill mattress disposal
'The Landfill provides services for Clayton County Residents and Business Owners Only. No out of County Customers Accepted.' 'Proof of County Resident: Current Driver's License. Proof of County Business Owner: Current Business License.'
Conditions and source
Open Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month from October through March, at 11678 Hastings Bridge Road, Lovejoy. 'All Landfill Scale Rates are $75.00 per ton with a $40 minimum for the 1st 1,000 lbs.. This Scale Rate Includes All Trailers. The rate for all light weight pick-up trucks and cars without trailers is $40 per load.' 'Mattresses are limited to five per visit and are $10 each, in addition to the dumping fee.' The county also runs free Trash Amnesty days for Clayton County residents with valid county ID.

Visit siteSeminole Road Landfill — household self-haul
No residency rule is published on either the fee sheet or the bulky-item page; the department calls Seminole Road its "Public disposal facility" and offers it as a "Self-haul option for residents", while describing its Central, East and North transfer stations as commercial disposal sites. The animal crematory on the same fee sheet does distinguish DeKalb residents from non-residents, so the county knows how to write a residency rule and has not written one for the landfill gate.
Conditions and source
4203 Clevemont Road, Ellenwood, GA 30294, 404-687-4040. Open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Charging is by weight at the scale, not per item: municipal disposal is $95.00 a ton and the minimum scale fee is $48.00 for any material up to 999 pounds, so one mattress costs $48 unless it travels with a heavier load. Construction and demolition material, yard trimmings, trees, inert materials, industrial and commercial waste are all $95 a ton. Residential tires are $10 each and no commercial tires are taken; an appliance containing Freon is $48. Asbestos and large animals carry a $200 hole-preparation charge plus tonnage. The county's own bulky-item page points households here as the alternative to a fee-based curbside collection, noting "Pay-per-weight pricing" and that construction materials are accepted.
Not confirmed: The $48 minimum comes from the county's April 2026 fee sheet; the bulky-item page cites a gate minimum of $16.50 and $99.80 per ton in its dead-animal paragraph. The two are not reconciled anywhere on the county site.
Not confirmed: No mattress-specific rate is published, and nothing says whether bedding is recycled; a landfill gate implies disposal and no recovery is claimed.

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 College Park itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- College Park's published Sanitation & Water & Sewer "New Rate" Schedule, effective July 1, 2020, sets the sanitation rates: "SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL CURRENT $16.50" with a "New Rate" of "$18.15"; "APARTMENT COMPLEXES WITH CONTAINERS $16.50 PER UNIT PLUS 12 % CONTAINER FEE PER MONTH" with a "New Rate" of "$18.15 (Per Unit Plus 12% Container Fee)"; and "LIGHT COMMERCIAL (NO DUMPSTER) CURRENT $17.50" with a "New Rate" of "$19.25." Commercial container service is priced per yard size and number of collection days a week, from $81.02 a month for a three-yard container collected once a week. The schedule is issued by the City of College Park at 3667 Main Street, College Park, GA 30337. Source Not confirmed: The rate schedule contains no bulk trash line of any kind, so the fee the Sanitation page says is charged for curbside bulk collection is not set in the only rate schedule the city publishes. Not confirmed: The schedule is dated July 1, 2020 and the water and sewer tables on it say "Rates last updated July 2012," so whether the sanitation figures are still current cannot be established from the document.
- College Park runs its own recycling drop-off and has moved it. The city's Sanitation page carries a "NOTICE TO COLLEGE PARK RESIDENTS: The Recycling Center Has Moved!" announcing that "the City of College Park Recycling Center has been relocated from its previous Riverdale Road location to a new and improved location at: Herschel Rd & Frontage Rd." The published hours are "Tuesday – Saturday | 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM" and the published accepted list is, in full: "Accepted Recyclables: Cardboard, Plastic, Paper, Glass." Source Not confirmed: Mattresses are absent from the center's four-item accepted list. That is an absence from a short published list, not a printed refusal, and the city does not say whether a mattress would be turned away. Not confirmed: The notice gives a street intersection rather than a street address and number, so the site cannot be placed as a facility. Not confirmed: No proof-of-residency rule and no fee are published for the center.
What Fulton County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across College Park and its neighbors.
- Fulton County's solid waste and recycling page states that 'Fulton County has been incorporated into 15 small cities. Trash services are being provided through city management.' The county division's own activities are limited to landfill post-closure work at Morgan Falls plus asset and fleet management, and it links residents to each city's trash service page. Fulton County operates no resident drop-off or recycling centers of its own and provides no curbside collection. Source
Georgia mattress disposal rules
- Georgia EPD recycling resources page sends residents to Earth911's ZIP-code locator and the Georgia Recycling Coalition. 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.
