How to get rid of a mattress in Mulberry, GA.

Companies that come to your home and carry the mattress out, so you need no vehicle. The prices below are starting prices unless stated — stairs, box springs and extra items add to them.

Most charities will not take a used mattress. These are the ones we checked, including the ones that say no.

• The Salvation Army (satruck.org): accepted-items list includes 'Mattresses' and beds; also says local ordinances and need vary by location and to call 1-800-SA-TRUCK to confirm what a local center accepts. Source
• Doesn’t take mattresses. Habitat for Humanity national ReStore guide: 'Mattresses and box springs are not accepted.' Source

Policies vary by branch. Call before you carry one over — we asked each of the big three directly: Goodwill, the Salvation Army and Habitat for Humanity.

What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.

• This is Mulberry in Gwinnett County, Georgia, at mulberryga.gov, not Mulberry, Florida and not Mulberry, Arkansas at mulberryar.gov, whose trash pages describe a CARDS Recycling contract and a (479) phone number and have nothing to do with Georgia. Mulberry, Georgia was created in 2024 and its own site lists exactly one department: "Departments / Planning & Development", whose sub-pages are Permitting, Inspections, Code Enforcement, Zoning & Land Use, the legislative and quasi-judicial application processes, Applications Under Review, Third-Party Inspections and Planning & Development FAQs. The whole of mulberryga.gov carries no sanitation department, no solid waste page, no hauler, no cart, no bulk-item allowance and no sanitation fee; its Residents section runs to a comprehensive plan, an "Am I in Mulberry?" app and a welcome message. City Hall is at 2078 Teron Trace, Suite 100, Mulberry, GA 30019, at (770) 341-9640. Source Not confirmed: The city's silence is not itself a statement that it runs no collection; what establishes that is Gwinnett County's account of the Mulberry charter. Not confirmed: The city publishes nothing on who serves a Mulberry address, so a resident cannot learn their hauler from the city.
• Gwinnett County's account of the Mulberry charter is what answers the question for a Mulberry householder. "The charter for the proposed city of Mulberry states that it would provide three services directly: planning and zoning, code enforcement, and stormwater collection and disposal." And, decisively for waste: "The charter for the city of Mulberry does not provide for the provision of optional services allowed by state law. These services, including but not limited to police protection, fire and emergency services, solid waste disposal, and recreational services, would have to be negotiated for and provided by Gwinnett County or any other lawfully authorized service provider." The page also carries the county's notice that "Effective January 1, 2025, and pending further direction from the court, the city of Mulberry will be responsible for all planning, zoning, code enforcement, permitting, and business licensing activities within the city limits pursuant to the city of Mulberry's Letter of Intent", and states that Gwinnett County "opposes new state law" and "will pursue legal action" over SB 138. Solid waste is therefore not a Mulberry city service: a Mulberry resident's collection comes from Gwinnett County's hauler program or another authorized provider. Source Not confirmed: The page is headed "Proposed City of Mulberry" and describes the charter rather than the arrangement now in force; it does not state which provider actually serves Mulberry addresses today, or on what terms. Not confirmed: It does not say whether Mulberry addresses remained in the county's hauler service areas after incorporation.
• The county's hauler pages name mattresses outright and define the service area as unincorporated, which is the one point a Mulberry reader has to check. Of the hauler serving north Gwinnett, where Mulberry lies: "Red Oak Sanitation, Inc. is a residential solid waste and recycling provider in unincorporated Gwinnett County. Weekly collection service includes: Household waste as contained in one 95-gallon cart. Recycling as contained in a 65-gallon cart or 18-gallon bin. Bulk items (furniture, mattresses) and white goods (stoves, refrigerators). Contact us to schedule a pickup. Yard waste collection is an optional service. Contact us to schedule a pickup." Red Oak is at 770.536.7868, Monday through Friday 8:00am to 5:00pm, and the county publishes its hauler agreement. This names a mattress explicitly as included in the weekly service that the county's base fee covers, which the county's own residential services page does not. Source Not confirmed: The page describes the service area as "unincorporated Gwinnett County", and Mulberry has been an incorporated city since 2024; whether Mulberry addresses are still inside Red Oak's assigned area is not stated here or on the county's Mulberry page. Not confirmed: No fee is published for a bulk pickup on this page, and no item limit, size cap or wrapping rule. Not confirmed: No disposal or recycling outcome is published.
• Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful, the county's environmental education organization, answers the mattress question directly and splits it on city limits. "Where can I dispose of a mattress/box spring I no longer need? Unincorporated Gwinnett County residents can schedule a bulk-item pickup by contacting your service provider directly. For contact information, visit ... searchsolidwastehauler. Residents living inside city limits, contact your local municipality. If you wish to dispose of your mattress/box spring, there are several landfills that accept them." The same FAQ confirms the organization no longer runs a recycling facility of its own - "GC&B is an Environmental Education Organization; however, we no longer operate a recycling facility" - and that its own events collect paint, gasoline, electronics and paper but not bedding. On appliances it notes freon must be removed by a licensed technician before a hauler will take them. Source Not confirmed: This is Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful's guidance rather than the county's or a city's own ordinance, and it does not say which municipality serves Mulberry. Not confirmed: It names no landfill price for a mattress, only that landfills accept them.

• Georgia EPD recycling resources page sends residents to Earth911's ZIP-code locator and the Georgia Recycling Coalition. 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
