What Pooler itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Pooler, Georgia (Chatham County) makes city garbage service compulsory and does not collect bulk items. The City of Pooler 2026 Sanitation Schedule states, in capitals: "NO BULK PICKUP". It describes weekly "landfill only waste" collection in a green-lid cart, with yard waste in brown paper bags ("PLASTIC BAGS WILL NOT BE COLLECTED"), each bag or container no more than 45 pounds and tree limbs in piles no bigger than four feet each way, and carries Atlantic Waste Services' address (125 B Pine Meadow Drive, Pooler, GA 31322, 912-964-2000) alongside "City of Pooler - 912-748-4800". Code Sec. 70-41 gives the city "the exclusive right to the collection, removal and disposal of garbage, trash, trash and other debris" from residential buildings and makes it "mandatory that all owners, occupants, tenants and lessees of residential buildings accept such collection". So a Pooler household has no city curbside route for a mattress, and cannot hire its own hauler for household garbage. Source Not confirmed: The schedule does not say who a resident calls about a mattress, or whether the city or Atlantic Waste will take one for a fee; none is published on the pages read. Not confirmed: Pooler-ga.gov's own sanitation page could not be opened (a 404 on the address tried), so the city's wording beyond the schedule PDFs was not read. Not confirmed: No mattress recycler, and no drop-off open to Pooler residents that takes mattresses, was found in the Savannah area; Chatham County's drop-off centers refuse household waste (recorded on the county page). Coastal Empire Habitat for Humanity's ReStore page (701 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Savannah) lists 'building materials, furniture and appliances' but is silent on mattresses, which is not a refusal.
- Pooler's code confines household collection to the city and penalises dumping by reference to the general penalty. Sec. 70-45: "No person other than a person under the direction of the superintendent of sanitation, or a person otherwise authorized by the city, shall haul away any garbage and refuse set out for collection". Sec. 70-2 makes it "unlawful and disorderly conduct" to "sweep, throw, place, scatter or cause to be swept, thrown, placed or scattered" trash "into, in, on or upon the streets, sidewalks, public alleys or public parks of the city" unless in containers for the city's routine collection, and Sec. 70-6 requires owners, tenants and occupants to keep property "in a clean and sanitary condition, keeping all weeds cut, waste paper, trash, and other rubbish of every sort cleaned off". Sec. 70-7 and 70-55 punish violations "as provided in section 1-12". Sec. 70-42 defines "combustible trash" as including "furniture, bedding" but the code sets up no bulk collection. Sec. 70-52 leaves the monthly rate to a fee schedule adopted by resolution. Source Not confirmed: The penalty amount in Sec. 1-12 was not read. Not confirmed: The code sets no set-out window for cans or bulk; the 'night before' style rule was not found in Chapter 70 as read. Not confirmed: The fee schedule (resolution) behind the monthly charge was not found.
What Chatham County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Pooler and its neighbors.
- Chatham County, Georgia — the county around Savannah, not the Chatham County in North Carolina whose recycling guide dominates search results — collects no household trash at all. Its Solid Waste Services page states: "Chatham County does NOT collect household garbage, or recycling at curbside. That service is provided through Individual subscription service with a private waste hauler." It adds that the county does not regulate private haulers and that shopping for one "is like shopping for any other service-it pays to be careful." What the county does run is limited and unincorporated-only: "Chatham County provides residents in the unincorporated area a weekly curbside yard waste collection", plus a monthly bulk round, since the page notes that palm fronds "are collected as part of the monthly Bulk Trash pickup. Simply pile the palm fronds at the curb with your bulk items and the County will pick them up." The set-out rule is "Bulky items should be placed at curbside no more than 3 days before the scheduled collection day", and mixing yard waste with other material means neither is taken. Named as not collected are unsolidified paint, tires, automobile batteries, construction and demolition debris and land clearing debris. Savannah, Garden City, Pooler, Port Wentworth, Tybee Island, Thunderbolt and Bloomingdale households are outside the county round entirely and depend on their own city. Public Works is at 7226 Varnedoe Dr, Savannah, GA 31406, (912) 652-6840. Source Not confirmed: Chatham County never states what a bulk item is. Its pages name palm fronds and cardboard as things that go out with the monthly bulk round and list paint, tires, batteries and construction debris as refused, but nothing on the county site says whether a mattress or box spring is an accepted bulk item, and no fee for one is published.
- Chatham County's monthly bulk round covers four named unincorporated areas and nowhere else. The collection schedule page sets weekly yard waste by day — Monday, Westside and Georgetown; Tuesday, The Landings on Skidaway Island; Wednesday, Isle of Hope, Whitfield Avenue, Dutch and Burnside Islands; Thursday, the island areas of Wilmington, Talahi and Whitemarsh Islands — and then "Monthly Bulky Item Collection (including flattened cardboard boxes)" on the matching Fridays: 1st Friday for Westside and Georgetown, 2nd Friday for The Landings, 3rd Friday for Isle of Hope, Whitfield Avenue, Dutch and Burnside Islands, 4th Friday for the Wilmington, Talahi and Whitemarsh island areas. A 2026 holiday table reschedules bulk rounds around Juneteenth, Independence Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. An address in Savannah, Pooler, Garden City or Port Wentworth appears in none of the four zones. Questions: (912) 652-6840. Source Not confirmed: The schedule names the zones and dates but not the accepted items, so it does not establish whether a mattress may be put out with the monthly bulk round.
- Not an option: Chatham County's three drop-off centers will not take a mattress. They are Wilmington Island, 7022 Concord Road, Savannah, open Tuesday through Saturday 8:30 to 5:00 and Sunday 12:00 to 5:00; Chevis Road, 763 Chevis Road, Savannah, Tuesday through Saturday 8:30 to 5:00; and Sharon Park, 50 Kelly Hill Road, Garden City, Tuesday through Saturday 8:30 to 5:00. Each takes a short, sorted recyclables list only — cardboard, newspaper, magazines, office paper, scrap metal, cleaned food cans and plastics 1 and 2, with used cooking oil and motor oil at Wilmington Island alone. Attendants require materials pre-sorted and "The County does retain the right to reject any material brought to a residential drop-off center." The refusal lists are explicit: "Chatham County Drop-Off Centers are not allowed to accept putrescible household garbage, automotive batteries, and tires"; they cannot take construction debris from demolitions or major renovations, boats, docks, flammables, wet paint, hazardous chemicals, land clearing, stumps or dead animals; and a closing "Non-acceptable items" list repeats household garbage, tires of all types, liquids, closed containers and hazardous materials. Bedding is nowhere on any accepted list and the sites are recycling bays, not disposal points. A Chatham reader who drove a mattress to Concord Road or Kelly Hill Road would 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.
