2City curbside pickup in Snellville
Snellville’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.
Snellville curbside bulk item pickup
Households inside the Snellville city limits on the city's franchised residential service. "We are a franchised City which means all solid waste services must go through our Public Works Department." Under Code Sec. 46-2 no one but the city's franchisee may collect refuse accumulated in the city, apart from temporary roll-off or bagster-type haul-off containers.
Conditions and source
Scheduled by calling Public Works at 770-985-3527, Monday through Thursday 7:00am to 5:30pm, and collected on the household's regular service day. "Bulk items consist of furniture, mattresses, washers, dryers, etc. and are limited to two (2) items per week per household." Code Sec. 46-5(8) puts the same thing in the ordinance: "Bulk items (e.g., furniture, non-freon appliances and mattresses) may be placed at the curb after scheduling the pickup through public works." Items must be at the curb by 6:00am on the service day and, under Sec. 46-5(12), may not go out more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup, with carts removed within 24 hours after and stored out of sight of the street. Residential collection is charged as "a separate line item for a new garbage fee of $240 per year" on the property tax bill from 2025. The city's Residential Sanitation page states "Snellville Blue bags are no longer required for bulk pickups", while its Garbage Collection page still instructs residents to "attach three (3) blue bags to EACH bulk item (sofa, mattress, etc.)" from a $17 bundle of ten; the city does not reconcile the two.
Not confirmed: Two live city pages disagree on whether blue bags are required for a bulk item, so whether a mattress costs $5.10 in bags or nothing is unresolved.
Not confirmed: No per-item bulk charge is published, and the $240 a year is not stated to cover bulk pickups.
Not confirmed: No wrapping, size or weight rule is published for a mattress.
Not confirmed: No disposal or recycling outcome is published.

Fee not published
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.

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.

Snellville Recycling Center residential junk container
"Residential Junk Container is only for residents living inside the city limits. Valid GA drivers license with current city address required. Businesses can NOT use the junk container." Non-city residents may use the recycling bays but not the junk container, and pay $25 rather than $15 for a freon appliance.
Conditions and source
2531 Marigold Road, off Lenora Church Road beside Briscoe Park, open 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Saturday, inquiries 770-985-3539. "Mattresses/box springs" are named on the junk container's accepted list, alongside old furniture, electronics, toys, plastic pots, ceramic dishes, decorative items and miscellaneous attic or basement items. "City Limit residents are allowed only one trip to the recycling center with one truckload per day of junk at no cost. A truck and trailer is considered two loads." The container "is not for use with remodeling jobs or construction projects". Refused: construction or remodel debris including toilets, tubs and showers, landscaping materials, scrap lumber, tires, paint, propane tanks, chemicals, household perishable trash, containers with food remnants, fluorescent bulbs, styrofoam, yard trimmings, and "Items determined by attendant". Attendants check bagged or boxed junk for contaminants; recyclables must be separated out. Staff do not help unload.
Not confirmed: No disposal or recycling outcome is published for the junk container.
Not confirmed: No cap on the number of mattresses within one truckload is published.
Not confirmed: Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful publishes narrower hours for the same site; the city's own hours are the ones recorded.

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.

Visit siteKeep Walton Beautiful & Recycling Center — mattress and box spring drop-off
Open with no published residency test. The only restriction printed beside the price is on trade users: "Mattresses and Box Springs ($10 each. No dealers or manufacturers. Limit 2 per customer)". The county encourages "each and every Walton County citizen" to visit, but sets no identification requirement, no permit and no proof-of-address rule anywhere on either page.
Conditions and source
2051 Leroy Anderson Road SE, Monroe, GA 30655, 770-267-1421. Open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., closed on legal holidays and on the Board of Commissioners' holiday schedule. The price is $10 per mattress or box spring, a maximum of two per customer per visit, so a mattress-and-box-spring set costs $20 in one trip. Staff do not routinely help unload: "We do not assist in unloading large items unless we have adequate staff. We advise you to call 770-267-1421 before coming to our facility if you think you will need assistance." Most of the center's intake — aluminum, glass, car batteries, cardboard, paper, plastics 1 and 2, metal and appliances, cooking oil, motor oil, cell phones, computers — is free; mattresses, dishwashers and microwaves are the charged items, and general household trash is $65 per ton paid by the pound. Yard debris and hazardous waste are refused.
Not confirmed: The county never says whether a mattress left here is recycled, broken down or landfilled. The site is called a recycling center and charges for bedding while taking most recyclables free, which points in no particular direction, so the outcome is recorded as unknown.
Not confirmed: Whether the six rural convenience centers also take mattresses, and at what price, is not published; only the Leroy Anderson Road site names them.

What Snellville itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- Sources disagree: A second Snellville page is still live and contradicts the first on the two things a resident acts on. Where the Residential Sanitation page gives a 95-gallon cart and says "Snellville Blue bags are no longer required for bulk pickups", the Garbage Collection page says "This service provides each household with one 65-gallon wheeled garbage cart at no charge" and, under Curbside Bulk Item Pickup, "You must purchase the official 'City of Snellville Blue Bags,' attach three (3) blue bags to EACH bulk item (sofa, mattress, etc.), and place the item at your curb on your regular garbage day by 6 am." It also prices the bags: "The Blue Bags are sold only by the bundle. Each bundle contains 10 bags and sells for $17.00", available "at Public Works, as well as Publix and Kroger located on Scenic Hwy in Snellville", imprinted with the city seal, and states "Garbage outside your 65-gallon cart will NOT be picked up if it is not in a 'City of Snellville Blue Bag.'" It names a different hauler again: "Only Advanced or Waste Management containers will be serviced." Taken literally, a resident reading this page would buy a $17 bundle and attach three bags to a mattress, at a cost of $5.10 in bags per item, which the Residential Sanitation page says is no longer required. The city does not reconcile the two pages. Source Not confirmed: Which page is current is not stated on either; neither carries a date. Not confirmed: The blue-bag requirement for bulk items is therefore unresolved, and with it whether a mattress pickup costs $5.10 in bags or nothing. Not confirmed: Cart size (65-gallon or 95-gallon) and hauler (Advanced, Waste Management, Latham) differ between the two pages.
- Snellville began charging separately for residential collection in 2025. The city's own announcement: "Included in the 2025 property tax bills is a separate line item for a new garbage fee of $240 per year. For years, the city has been covering sanitation fund shortfalls for residential pickup. The city's current sanitation contract is coming to an end and projections call for an increase in sanitation costs." "The city has funded residential garbage collection out of general fund property taxes for the last 20 years." "The new garbage fee will be fully dedicated to covering the cost of residential trash service and will not take the place of the second garbage cart or the city's recycling program." The millage rate was held at 4 mills. Inquiries at 770-985-3508. Source Not confirmed: The announcement does not say whether the $240 covers bulk item pickups or only cart service. Not confirmed: It does not identify the incoming hauler or the term of the replacement contract.

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.
