2City curbside pickup in Morrow
Morrow’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 Morrow weekly bulk item collection (mattresses and box springs named in the city code)
Residential premises within the incorporated area of Morrow, which Code section 5-2-1 defines to include "single family homes, duplexes, triplexes, quadraplexes, and mobile homes whether such mobile homes are registered as vehicles or assessed as real property." Section 5-2-2(b) gives the city the exclusive right to collect residential solid waste within its corporate limits, through its own forces or a contractor, and bars anyone else from doing so.
Conditions and source
Code section 5-2-1 defines bulk items as "(1) White goods; and (2) Household furniture items, such as sofas, chairs, tables, desks, mattresses, box springs and other large household items, which cannot reasonably be placed in a 95-gallon rollout cart." Section 5-2-3(c) provides that "The collector shall collect bulk items curbside from residential premises once per week," with the occupant to "place bulk items in the curbside location by 7:00 a.m. on the designated collection day and not before 6:00 p.m. on the day before collection." Freon must be removed from white goods first. Automotive parts, combustible items and large construction or demolition debris are not bulk items; small in-home repair materials up to three cubic yards are taken if neatly bundled and free of nails. Section 5-2-6(b)(4) caps the day: "On yard waste/bulk waste pick-up days, the total of both types of wastes shall not exceed three cubic yards on any given day." No collections occur between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. north of Interstate 75. Fees are fixed from time to time by ordinance of the mayor and council under section 5-2-9 and billed by the city.
Not confirmed: The code mandates weekly bulk collection and sets no bulk charge, deferring all fees to an ordinance of the mayor and council. Nothing states that bulk collection is free.
Not confirmed: The city's own website, which carries the sanitation fee schedule and the bulk pickup appointment address, is behind a bot challenge and could not be read, so the monthly fee and whether an appointment is required are unestablished.
Not confirmed: The code does not say whether a mattress is landfilled or recycled, and sets no wrapping rule.

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.

- $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.

Henry County Recycle Center mattress drop-off
The page publishes a residency rule for yard debris only: 'Only Henry County residents can recycle yard debris. Henry County residents must show a valid Driver's License as proof of residency for yard debris disposal.' No residency rule is published for mattresses.
Conditions and source
Open Tuesday through Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., closed Monday and Sunday, at 65 West Asbury Road, McDonough. Published charges are '$10 per piece baby or twin mattress', '$20 per piece full or larger mattress' and 'Furniture, $20 per piece'. The same page also states 'This facility is strictly a recycling center, and as such will not accept any trash', which it does not reconcile with the mattress and furniture fee lines. Henry County's hard-to-recycle page separately refers mattresses to CHaRM.
- $10 — '$10 per piece baby or twin mattress'.
- $20 — '$20 per piece full or larger mattress'. Other furniture is '$20 per piece'.
Not confirmed: The page does not say whether mattress drop-off is restricted to county residents.
Not confirmed: The 'no trash' statement is not reconciled with the mattress fee lines.
Not confirmed: No quantity limit per visit is published.
Not confirmed: No disposal outcome is published.

The city's page publishes no eligibility rule; it states only that the facility accepts customers until 15 minutes before closing time and gives the Community Relations & Services Division at 470-552-4311 for inquiries.
Conditions and source
The City of South Fulton's bulk waste page directs residents to take items its curbside crews will not collect to this convenience center at 3225 Merk Road. The city publishes no opening hours, accepted-material list or price schedule for the site.
Not confirmed: Whether mattresses are accepted is not 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.

What Clayton County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Morrow and its neighbors.
- Sources disagree: Clayton County's Trash Amnesty page conflicts with the county's other pages. It prints the landfill address as 'Clayton County Landfill, 11678 Hastings Bridge Road, Hampton, GA 30228', whereas the county's landfill page prints the same street address as 'Lovejoy, GA' with no ZIP. On amnesty terms this page reads 'FREE Landfill Trash Disposal! Amnesty Days Only Valid Clayton County ID Required ($75 per ton with $40 minimum landfill fee will be effective for all other days.)' and adds the limit 'Mattresses are limited to four (4) per load', a line that does not appear on the Refuse Control page. The dates published on this page are April 2025 (Fri 18, Sat 19, Fri 25 and Sat April 26, 2025), while the Refuse Control page publishes May 2026 dates, so the two county pages disagree on which schedule is current. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes two different city/ZIP labels for the same landfill street address. Not confirmed: The county publishes two different amnesty date sets, one stale (2025) and one current (2026). Not confirmed: The four-mattress-per-load limit appears only on the page with the stale dates, so it is unclear whether it still applies.
- Not an option: Checked on 2026-09-22 for Clayton 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.' Clayton County is not named in that list, so the Furniture Bank's donation pickup is not published as an option for Clayton 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

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.
