What Locust Grove itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Locust Grove's Code of Ordinances Title 8 (Health and Safety) sets the rules behind the page. Sec. 8.16.015 has the City collect only household garbage and yard trash at the curb; Sec. 8.16.016 says all other solid waste, and building trash, "shall not be collected curbside by the city, but shall be placed in proper containers at the public works department during specific hours"; Sec. 8.16.030 lists as unacceptable poisons, acids, explosives, yard trash, tires, paint "and All other solid waste not specifically authorized in this chapter"; Sec. 8.16.040 says waste that cannot go in the standard container will not be collected and residents should use "the solid waste drop off site in Section 8.16.090 or other acceptable means". Sec. 8.16.100 sends violations to Chapter 1.08. Littering and dumping: Sec. 8.04.070 makes it a misdemeanour with a fine of not less than $200 and not more than $1,000, and the judge may order the offender to pick up litter along a road or on other property. Sec. 8.16.060 declares an unauthorized accumulation of solid waste a nuisance. Source Not confirmed: The code's statement that bulk is not collected at the curb and must go to the drop-off site predates the page's newer "Bulk Pickup (new procedure)" run; the two are not reconciled. Not confirmed: The Chapter 1.08 general penalty was not read. Not confirmed: No set-out window for the bulk run appears in the code; the page says the day before. Not confirmed: No apartment or HOA restriction was read.
What Henry County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Locust Grove and its neighbors.
- Henry County runs no curbside collection. Its curbside trash and recycling page states: 'Henry County does not pick up any residential/commercial trash (including yard debris) or recycling. All commercial pickups and all curbside residential pickups for unincorporated (outside city limits) properties must be coordinated through a private trash/recycling service provider.' The county lists private haulers — S&B Rolloff, Waste Management, Republic Services, GFL Environmental, Waste Pro and Arrow Waste — and directs residents inside the city limits of McDonough, Stockbridge, Hampton or Locust Grove to their municipal public works departments. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes no bulky-item or mattress terms, prices or limits for any of the listed haulers.
- Henry County's Hard-to-Recycle Items page lists 'Mattresses' among hard-to-recycle items and directs residents off-county for them: 'Please see CHaRM to inquire about any applicable fees.' CHaRM is the Center for Hard to Recycle Materials run by Live Thrive in Atlanta; the county's page does not describe its own Recycle Center's mattress program here. Source Not confirmed: The page does not give CHaRM's address, hours or fees, nor say whether Henry County residents are eligible there. Not confirmed: The page does not reconcile its CHaRM referral with the county Recycle Center's own published mattress prices.
- Not an option: Checked on 2026-09-22 for Henry County coverage. The Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta accepts 'Mattresses and Box Springs (in any condition)' but publishes a limited pickup area: 'The Furniture Bank's pickup area includes most of Cobb, Gwinnett, Fulton and DeKalb counties.' Henry County is not named in that list, so the Furniture Bank's donation pickup is not published as an option for Henry residents. Source

It notes scrap tires are banned from Georgia landfills but lists no mattress rule. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Georgia EPD pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. Source

- 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.
