Rockdale County Recycling Center — mattress and box spring drop-off
Residents of Rockdale County and the City of Conyers, and nobody else. The county's notice reads: "The Rockdale County Recycling Center accepts garbage, furniture, woody debris, and other items from Rockdale County/City of Conyers residents only", and "Commercial haulers are not allowed." Conyers is covered by name, so a city address qualifies on the same terms as the rest of the county. Since February 1, 2026 a resident must either hold a Full Use Tag or pay at the gate: "Effective February 1, 2026, a tag will be required for trash, bulk waste, and tree debris." The tag costs $150 a year, or $100 for senior citizens aged 60 and older, is prorated after February and runs February 1 through January 30; a replacement is $50 the first time and full price the second. Buying one requires "A copy of a valid Georgia driver's license or a state-issued ID" and "A utility bill, mortgage statement, rental agreement, or other documentation dated within the last 30 days to verify residency in Rockdale County", and tags are sold at the center Tuesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. or applied for by email. A household without a tag is not turned away: the flyer says residents "must present a “Full Use Tag” upon entry or pay the single-item use fee", which for a mattress set is the $10 per item rate.
Conditions and source
1200 Sigman Road, Conyers, GA 30012, about a mile up Sigman Road from the GA 20/138 exit off I-20, telephone 770-278-7212. Open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; closed Sunday, Monday and county holidays, with yard and tree debris closing at 4:30 p.m. The mattress allowance is capped by the week and counts a set as one: "Mattress sets with a limit of one (1) per household per week", which the county's rate flyer spells out as "Mattress Sets: 1 set (mattress and box springs)". Separate weekly caps run alongside it — ten bags of indoor household garbage, and two pickup truck or residential trailer loads (trailer no larger than 6ft x 10ft) of furniture, electronics, manufactured lumber and other household bulk waste. Payment is by check, debit or credit card, or buy now pay later, and no cash is accepted. Recycling is free and needs no tag: aluminum cans, glass bottles, cardboard, paper, #1 and #2 plastics, scrap metal and appliances without a Freon compressor, and up to four tires off the rim per household per week. The center refuses carpets and pads, linoleum, vinyl flooring, tile, shingles, insulation, counter tops, roofing materials, oil-based paint, stains, solvents, adhesives, gasoline, kerosene, antifreeze, motor oil, batteries, demolition debris and Freon appliances. Rockdale County operates no landfill; the center opened in September 1993 after the City/County landfill closed and the county now calls it a recycling and transfer center.
Not confirmed: The county does not say where a mattress goes after it is tipped. The site is a transfer center and the county runs no landfill, so the load moves on, but nothing states whether the material is recycled or buried.
Not confirmed: Whether the $10 per item gate rate is charged once for a mattress set or twice, once for the mattress and once for the box spring, is not spelled out; the weekly allowance treats the set as one.

Seminole 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.

Visit siteHenry County Recycle Center mattress drop-off
The page publishes a residency rule for yard debris only: 'Only Henry County residents can recycle yard debris. Henry County residents must show a valid Driver's License as proof of residency for yard debris disposal.' No residency rule is published for mattresses.
Conditions and source
Open Tuesday through Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed Monday and Sunday, at 65 West Asbury Road, McDonough. Published charges are '$10 per piece baby or twin mattress', '$20 per piece full or larger mattress' and 'Furniture, $20 per piece'. The same page also states 'This facility is strictly a recycling center, and as such will not accept any trash', which it does not reconcile with the mattress and furniture fee lines. Henry County's hard-to-recycle page separately refers mattresses to CHaRM.
- $10 — '$10 per piece baby or twin mattress'.
- $20 — '$20 per piece full or larger mattress'. Other furniture is '$20 per piece'.
Not confirmed: The page does not say whether mattress drop-off is restricted to county residents.
Not confirmed: The 'no trash' statement is not reconciled with the mattress fee lines.
Not confirmed: No quantity limit per visit is published.
Not confirmed: No disposal outcome is published.

Keep Walton Beautiful & Recycling Center — mattress and box spring drop-off
Open with no published residency test. The only restriction printed beside the price is on trade users: "Mattresses and Box Springs ($10 each. No dealers or manufacturers. Limit 2 per customer)". The county encourages "each and every Walton County citizen" to visit, but sets no identification requirement, no permit and no proof-of-address rule anywhere on either page.
Conditions and source
2051 Leroy Anderson Road SE, Monroe, GA 30655, 770-267-1421. Open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed on legal holidays and on the Board of Commissioners' holiday schedule. The price is $10 per mattress or box spring, a maximum of two per customer per visit, so a mattress-and-box-spring set costs $20 in one trip. Staff do not routinely help unload: "We do not assist in unloading large items unless we have adequate staff. We advise you to call 770-267-1421 before coming to our facility if you think you will need assistance." Most of the center's intake — aluminum, glass, car batteries, cardboard, paper, plastics 1 and 2, metal and appliances, cooking oil, motor oil, cell phones, computers — is free; mattresses, dishwashers and microwaves are the charged items, and general household trash is $65 per ton paid by the pound. Yard debris and hazardous waste are refused.
Not confirmed: The county never says whether a mattress left here is recycled, broken down or landfilled. The site is called a recycling center and charges for bedding while taking most recyclables free, which points in no particular direction, so the outcome is recorded as unknown.
Not confirmed: Whether the six rural convenience centers also take mattresses, and at what price, is not published; only the Leroy Anderson Road site names them.

Visit siteWalton C & D Landfill mattress and box spring drop-off
Not stated. The City of Social Circle names this site to its own residents for mattresses and box springs, and no residency, proof-of-address or waste-origin rule is published for it.
Conditions and source

A full set therefore costs $30 here, against $20 at the Keep Walton Beautiful dump the city names alongside it; this is the site with published hours, including Saturday morning.
- $10 — '$10 per box-springs' at Walton C & D Landfill, as published by the City of Social Circle.
- $20 — '$20 per mattress' at Walton C & D Landfill, as published by the City of Social Circle.
Not confirmed: No residency, proof-of-address or waste-origin rule is published.

"Home mattresses and box springs" are charged "$15 TWIN/FULL; $18 QUEEN/KING PER MATTRESS OR BOX SPRING", the same for residents and businesses, and the page links a "MATTRESS RECYCLING VIDEO". 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.
- $15 — Twin and full mattresses and box springs, each, at CHaRM DeKalb ("$15 TWIN/FULL ... PER MATTRESS OR BOX SPRING"); the same for residents and businesses. Appointment required.
- $18 — Queen and king mattresses and box springs, each, at CHaRM DeKalb ("$18 QUEEN/KING PER MATTRESS OR BOX SPRING"); the same for residents and businesses. Appointment required.

What Rockdale County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Conyers and its neighbors.
- Rockdale County collects nothing at the curb, and says so: "Rockdale County residents may call a private service for curbside garbage/trash pickup. Curbside pickup is not provided by the County." There is no county bulky item collection, no voucher and no scheduled large item pickup anywhere on the county's solid waste pages; the drop-off center on Sigman Road is the county's whole offer, and the page directs households that want collection to arrange it privately. Residents inside the Conyers city limits are sent instead to the city's own residential sanitation page. The county also notes it operates no landfill and refers residents to the telephone directory for commercial landfills and scrap yards in the area. 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.
