2City curbside pickup in Lilburn
Lilburn’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.
Lilburn bulk item pickup by Waste Management (mattresses named)
Residential customers within the City of Lilburn, Georgia, who receive weekly collection "through the City's contract with Waste Management", billed annually on the property tax bill. This is the City's contract, not one of Gwinnett County's five assigned-area haulers.
Conditions and source
"Residents may request bulk item pickup for two items per week using the link below. Requests must be submitted within 24 hours of your trash service day and no later than 3 p.m. to be scheduled", through the City's SeeClickFix portal. "Mattresses (wrapped in plastic)" are on the will-be-picked-up list, with furniture, sofas, chairs, tables and tagged appliances. Not picked up: tires, batteries, propane tanks, windows and mirrors, swing sets, pool tables, safes, trampolines, pianos and construction and demolition waste. The residential sanitation fee in the City's FY2026-27 schedule is $259.44 a year ($18 admin plus $241.44 collection and disposal).
Not confirmed: No fee for a bulk pickup is published; the City does not say whether the two weekly items are covered by the annual charge. An unpublished fee is not free.
Not confirmed: It is not stated whether a mattress and its box spring count as one item or two.
Not confirmed: No disposal or recycling outcome is stated.

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.

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.

Open to residents and businesses: the fee page prices both and states no residency rule. Appointments are required.
Conditions and source
1225 Columbia Dr, Decatur, GA 30032, 404-600-6386. By appointment only, Wednesdays 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Saturdays 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; closed October 22, November 25 (early), 26 to November 28, 24 to December 28, December 31 and January 1. "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.
Not confirmed: The fee page does not distinguish the two sites; it is not stated in so many words that DeKalb charges the same as Atlanta, though the page says it lists items accepted at either.
Not confirmed: No per-visit quantity limit is published.

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.

What Lilburn itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Lilburn's FY2026-2027 Fee Schedule (a scanned PDF) lists under "2026 FEES FOR CITY SERVICES": "Residential Sanitation Fee - Admin fee is $18/yr; Collection & disposal fee is $241.44/yr - $259.44", and, under franchise fees, a "Sanitation Franchise Fee - Residential" of 3% of gross receipts and 6% commercial. No line prices a bulk pickup or a mattress. Source Not confirmed: No bulk-item or mattress charge appears anywhere on the schedule, so whether a bulk pickup costs extra is not stated by the City. Not confirmed: The schedule is an image-only PDF and was read by eye; the $259.44 figure was read directly from the page image.
- Lilburn's code, Chapter 54 (Solid Waste), as amended February 9, 2026, Sec. 54-19(a): containers or plastic bags "should be placed at curbside no earlier than 7:00 p.m. the day preceding collection and must be removed no later than 7:00 a.m. the day following collection day"; yard waste in paper bags on the same window; limbs cut to four feet and 50 pounds (54-19(c)). Sec. 54-20: any unauthorized accumulation of solid waste on any premises is a nuisance. Sec. 54-27(a): "No person shall dump, drop, place or allow to fall any waste paper, trash, garbage, junk or any other such solid waste on any public or private property, street or sidewalk within the city"; material traceable to a person raises a presumption against that person and the person must remove it (54-27(b)). Sec. 54-39(c), the litter article: "By a fine of not less than $200.00 and not more than $1,200.00", plus reimbursing the city's clean-up cost, plus discretionary court-ordered clean-up and publication of the name. Source Not confirmed: Sec. 54-19's title mentions 'bulky items' but its text as read says nothing about them or about mattresses, and there is no ordinance requirement to wrap a mattress. Not confirmed: Sec. 54-27's own penalty is 'as provided in chapter 1 of this Code', which was not read; the $200 to $1,200 figure is the litter article's.
- Not an option: Goodwill of North Georgia's "Items We Do and Don't Accept" page lists "Mattresses" and "Box springs" under "ITEMS WE CANNOT ACCEPT". A used mattress will be turned away. 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.
