Furniture 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.

Places that accept mattresses if you can get it there yourself. Distance is measured from the center of Johns Creek. Some accept residents of their own city or county only, so check before you drive.
Cheapest
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.

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.

Not confirmed: The page does not say whether the $16.00 mattress charge replaces or is added to the weight-based rate.

What Johns Creek itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Johns Creek does not collect residential waste with its own crews; it regulates private haulers. Code of Ordinances Chapter 42 section 42-3 says the city 'has the responsibility to provide for and make available the collection of solid waste by either a non-exclusive contract, exclusive contract for services, or through services provided by city forces', and section 42-4 places the duty on the resident: 'It shall be the responsibility of each citizen both residential and commercial to be served by a waste hauler from the city's approved, registered, and contracted solid waste list or from city operated services. Failure to be served by either an approved, registered, and contracted city hauler or from services offered by the city's own manpower shall result in a violation of this chapter.' Section 42-23 requires all companies providing solid waste services inside the city to be registered and to operate under an approved exclusive or non-exclusive contract with the city. Section 42-19(a) sets the minimum service every registered hauler must provide: 'the city's basic level of service for residential units shall be as follows: A minimum of once a week garbage pick-up, once a week recycling pick up, once a week yard trimmings, and once a month bulky trash pick up.' Section 42-2 defines the term so that mattresses are covered: 'Bulky trash shall mean solid waste materials that cannot fit into a customary waste collection container as described in this chapter. Such waste would include but is not limited to appliances, mattresses, chairs, furniture, tires, and other large items.' A 'residential unit' for this chapter is a single-family house, duplex or triplex in a building of fewer than four separate residential units, and excludes mobile home parks, apartment buildings, condominiums, nursing homes and similar dwellings of four or more units. The ordinance is Ord. No. 2010-09-16, adopted November 8, 2010. Source Not confirmed: The ordinance sets a minimum monthly bulky trash pickup but does not say whether it is automatic or must be requested, how many items are covered, or whether haulers may charge extra for it. Not confirmed: The chapter empowers the public works director to issue a rules and regulations manual covering bulky trash; that manual was not located, so any mattress preparation or wrapping rule it may contain is unestablished. Not confirmed: The ordinance does not address the disposal outcome for bulky trash beyond requiring disposal at an approved and registered facility.
- The City of Johns Creek Public Works garbage and recycling page confirms the city itself neither collects nor prices the service: 'Although the City regulates the levels and nature of service provided, it does not manage, control, regulate or negotiate the fees the haulers charge or the agreements between haulers and their customers. Waste haulers are required to provide a minimum level of service and submit their base rates for posting below.' The registered haulers listed with rate information are American Disposal Services (678-720-0500, commercial $115/month), Arrow Waste (770-441-3037, roll-off only), Conex Recycling (770-889-1550, commercial recycling only), Legacy Disposal Services (770-764-2992, garbage $22.95/week, recycling $10.95/week), Red Oak Sanitation (678-455-7819), Republic Services of GA (678-963-2800, residential $25/month, commercial $95.61/month), WM (404-794-6707, residential $23.25/month, commercial from $114.85, recycling $13/month) and Waste Pro (770-777-1447, commercial $120/month). The page states the posted maximum residential price reflects 'Weekly curbside collection of 90 gallon rolling waste cart, 30 gallon rolling recycling cart, and yard trimmings, and once per month bulk waste collection', so the monthly bulk collection is inside the posted residential rate. It warns that 'Often additional charges may apply' and that additional fees such as fuel surcharges, administrative fees, stop/restart fees and cart delivery fees may be charged. The page also offers glass recycling at two locations in the city. The staff contact is Kevin Dye, 678-512-3200, 11360 Lakefield Drive, Johns Creek, GA 30097. The live johnscreekga.gov page refuses automated requests, so this was read from the Internet Archive capture of March 10, 2026. Source Not confirmed: The page does not say whether mattresses are taken under the monthly bulk collection or whether a hauler may levy an extra charge for one; it only states that additional charges may apply. Not confirmed: The rates were captured on March 10, 2026 from an archived copy and are marked 'Rates are subject to change', so current rates were not verified against the live page. Not confirmed: The two in-city glass recycling locations take glass only; the page describes no city drop-off site that accepts bulky items or mattresses.
- Not an option: The one bulky-item drop-off day the City of Johns Creek sponsors explicitly refuses mattresses. The Bulky Recycling Event run by Keep North Fulton Beautiful is held at Johns Creek City Hall, 11360 Lakefield Drive, on Saturday, May 30, 2026 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. It is for 'Johns Creek Residents ONLY, Pre-registration required', and the FAQ states 'This event is for Johns Creek residents only as it is sponsored by the City of Johns Creek.' There is no charge: 'Due to the generous support of the City of Johns Creek, there is no fee to attend.' Accepted items are scrap metal, appliances (washers, dryers, water heaters, dishwashers), electronics (TVs and monitors, computers, laptops, tablets, cell phones), bicycles and clothing. 'Mattresses or upholstered furniture' appear under the event's 'Please Leave These at Home' list of items that will not be accepted. This is therefore not a mattress disposal option for Johns Creek residents. Source Not confirmed: The page covers the single May 2026 event; it does not say whether any other Johns Creek collection day in the year takes mattresses.
What Fulton County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Johns Creek 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

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.
