2City curbside pickup in Dacula
Dacula’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.
Dacula scheduled Bulk Item Pick-Up
Dacula sanitation customers "within the city limits", whose sanitation fee is carried on the owner's annual property tax bill. "Residents outside Dacula city limits should contact Gwinnett County Sanitation for service providers."
Conditions and source
Booked in advance through the city's online Bulk-Item Pickup Form or by calling City Hall at 770-963-7451, and collected on Fridays only, not on the regular trash day. "Mattresses/box springs" are named on the accepted list with appliances, furniture, grills and excess household trash bags. Items go out the night before. The city bills the fee directly at the time of request - "A staff member will contact you for payment after your submission has been reviewed" - and operates a no-refund policy. Refused: televisions, toilets, tires, batteries, paint, grass clippings, hazardous materials and commercial or construction debris; for those the city points to Oak Grove Landfill, 967 Carl-Bethleham Road, Winder. Regular cans go to the curb before 7 AM, no earlier than the day before collection, and must be removed within two days after pickup. Bulk items must not be put at the curb before the pickup is requested.
Not confirmed: The fee schedule's "per item" wording does not say whether a mattress and its box spring are charged once or twice.
Not confirmed: No quantity limit per pickup, size cap or wrapping rule is published.
Not confirmed: No disposal or recycling outcome is published.

Visit siteGwinnett County residential bulk item collection
'Gwinnett County's solid waste and recycling service includes collection of bulk items and white goods.' Five haulers collect 'in assigned service areas' — Red Oak Sanitation (North), Republic Services (East), Southern Sanitation (South), Waste Management (Northwest) and Waste Pro of Georgia (Southwest). The page does not state whether properties inside Gwinnett's incorporated cities are included.
Conditions and source
'Contact your hauler 48 hours prior to your pick-up day to schedule collection', or submit a request through the county's online bulk pickup form. Bulk items and white goods are covered by the base service fee, $24.14 per month or $289.68 for the year in 2026 and $25.01 per month or $300.12 for the year in 2027, with a reduced rate for residents aged 62 and over. Appliances must be emptied and have Freon removed and tagged by a qualified technician. Mattresses are not named individually; they fall under the generic bulk-item category.
Not confirmed: Eligibility is not published: the page does not say whether city properties are included in the county program.
Not confirmed: Mattresses are not named explicitly.
Not confirmed: No per-item charge, quantity limit or wrapping rule is published.
Not confirmed: No disposal outcome is published.

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. Drivers decide acceptance at the door, and inside-the-home pickup requires prior arrangement.
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.

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
The City of Social Circle publishes the site's address, hours and prices: 'Walton C & D Landfill, 145 US Hwy 78, Monroe, GA 30656. Phone: 770-266-6967. Walton C&D is open Monday-Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and on Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Fees are $20 per mattress and $10 per box-springs.' 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.
Not confirmed: Whether a mattress taken here is recycled or buried is not stated; this is a construction and demolition landfill.

Jackson County Transfer Station — mattress drop-off at $4 an item
Open to all comers so far as the county publishes: the department describes the transfer station and its two compactor sites as provided "for its citizens and businesses", and no hang tag, permit, identification requirement, residency proof or out-of-county prohibition appears on either the Solid Waste page or the Disposal Fees page. Trade customers may open a pre-approved charge account by application at the scale house. The compactor sites are the exception and cannot be used for bedding: "The compactor sites charge the same fees as the transfer station and only accept bagged household garbage."
Conditions and source
100 Landfill Drive, Jefferson, GA 30549, 706-367-5253. Open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bedding is priced per item on the county's Item Removed table as "Furniture (i.e. couches, mattresses) — $4 per item", the same rate as a refrigerator or freezer; bagged household trash is $1 a bag up to three bags, weighed loads $75 a ton prorated with a $5 minimum, and special waste needing repeated handling, such as boats and campers, $100 a ton. Payment is cash, check, debit or credit card with a 3% card fee, or a pre-approved charge account — cards are accepted at the transfer station only. Customers unload themselves: "When you come into the transfer station, you are responsible for unloading your own vehicle. However, we have staff that will assist you when possible." The county also recycles paint at published per-container prices and no longer accepts unearthed tires.
- $4 — Each item of furniture at the Jackson County Transfer Station, from the fee table line "Furniture (i.e. couches, mattresses) — $4 per item".
- $5 — Minimum on a weighed load, from "Scale Loads — $75.00 per ton prorated $5.00 minimum". A single mattress is charged as an item at $4 rather than weighed, so this applies only to a load taken over the scale.
Not confirmed: The $4 line names couches and mattresses as examples of furniture but does not say whether a box spring is charged separately as a second item.
Not confirmed: Nothing on the county site says whether waste leaving the transfer station is landfilled or processed further; a transfer station moves waste on, and no recycling of bedding is claimed.

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.
