2City curbside pickup in Kennesaw
Kennesaw’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 Kennesaw bulk waste collection (mattresses)
Residential sanitation customers inside the Kennesaw city limits. Service is set up through Utility Billing at 678-460-2850 or sanitation@kennesaw-ga.gov, and "All residential sanitation accounts must be placed in the property owner's name, including homes that are rented or leased." The city is the only lawful option: "Under Section 74-29 of the City Code, private haulers are not permitted to provide sanitation service within the Kennesaw city limits."
Conditions and source
Mattresses are named on the city's bulk materials list. "Bulk material collection is available for an additional fee. The price is based on the item, size, weight and collection time required", so no figure is published. Residents "Call Public Works at 770-421-8582 to schedule bulk waste pickup. Prepayment is required before pickup", and "there will be no refund if someone removes or scavenges an item before Public Works arrives for the scheduled pickup." The city will not collect dirt, rocks, cement or concrete. Trash, recycling and yard waste must be at the curb by 7 a.m. on the collection day.
Not confirmed: No price is published for a mattress or for any bulk item: the city quotes case by case against "the item, size, weight and collection time required", so the charge cannot be stated and must not be read as free.
Not confirmed: No free allowance, item limit or advance-notice period is published.
Not confirmed: No wrapping requirement is published and the city does not say where bulk waste is taken.

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.

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.

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.

What Cobb County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Kennesaw and its neighbors.
- Cobb County publishes no county curbside collection. Its garbage collection page states: 'Unincorporated Cobb County: Cobb County Sustainability, Waste and Beautification Department does not provide trash collection services. A host of private companies provide these services... It is in the discretion of the garbage haulers to offer or not offer services to any resident. Cobb County has no authority over the garbage haulers relative to the services provided, the prices charged for services...' The county publishes a list of permitted private haulers but sets no bulky-item terms of its own. Source Not confirmed: No bulky-item or mattress pickup terms, prices or limits are published by the county for any hauler.
- Not an option: Keep Cobb Beautiful's community recycling events do not take mattresses. The events page lists 'Mattress/Box Springs ***' under 'Items Not Accepted', with the asterisked note directing residents to the transfer station instead and telling them to call for fees and hours of operation. The county's annual household hazardous waste event is separate and does not cover mattresses. Source

- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
