How to get rid of a mattress in Chubbuck, ID.

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.

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.

• Chubbuck, Idaho runs its own collection: 'The City of Chubbuck Sanitation Department is in charge of collecting and hauling solid waste and recyclables from both residential and commercial properties'. Residential carts are emptied once a week; the city's cart fees are $19.18 for the first cart, $12.38 for each additional cart and $8.97 for an unscheduled empty, and optional recycling is $5.00 a month per cart. The page says carts go on the curb 'no earlier than 6:00 p.m. the day before and no later than 7:00 a.m. on the collection day' and, in its rules, 'Any items that are too large to fit in a collection container must be appropriately disposed of by the property owner. Refuse that spills from or is left beside the collection container will not be collected and is the responsibility of the resident.' Chubbuck's Streets & Sanitation page (208-237-2430, 175 Park Lawn) publishes no curbside bulky-item or mattress collection. Source Not confirmed: The page publishes no bulky-item, oversize or mattress curbside collection, so none can be assumed Not confirmed: The page does not state a penalty for leaving items beside the cart
• Chubbuck, Idaho's code repeats the set-out window and puts bulky waste on the householder. Section 13.28.040(C) requires residential carts to be placed at or near the curb 'no earlier than six o'clock (6:00) P.M. on the day prior to collection and no later than seven o'clock (7:00) A.M. on the day of collection', and never left permanently on the public right of way. Section 13.28.050(A) requires all solid waste to be 'placed and fully contained within the collection container or cart provided by the city' and 13.28.050(C) caps a cart at 200 pounds. Section 13.28.060 covers 'construction waste, bulky waste, hazardous waste': construction debris goes only in commercial containers the city specifies, and 'persons hauling bulky waste not suitable for the city provided container or cart' may haul on public roads only with the load covered or tied down. The section does not define bulky waste or name a mattress. Source Not confirmed: Bulky waste is not defined in the sections read, and a mattress is not named in 13.28.060 Not confirmed: The penalty for a violation of chapter 13.28 was not read Not confirmed: Section 13.28.100 (Fees) was not read, so any bulky-waste charge it sets is unknown
• Not an option: Chubbuck, Idaho's paid dumpster tables refuse a mattress by name. Under the Temporary 3-Yard Container ($.58 a day rental, $23.83 per dump) the city prints '***No Furniture, No Mattresses*** (WILL BE ASKED TO REMOVE BEFORE SERVICING)', and the commercial dumpster tables (3, 4, 6 and 8 yard) carry the same line, '***No Furniture, No Mattresses*** (YOU WILL BE ASKED TO REMOVE BEFORE SERVICING)'. The city adds that 'All items need to be small enough to fit in the container, and the lid must be able to close' and that larger items 'should be cut down to 2' lengths' (3 feet for the commercial containers). Source Not confirmed: The refusal is printed for the city's paid residential and commercial dumpster services; it is not a statement about the once-a-year reduced-rate program or the Free Clean-up Day
• Sources disagree: Chubbuck, Idaho's once-a-year reduced-rate container program contradicts itself on mattresses. For Chubbuck residents 'one time per year only' (apartments and commercial buildings exempt), on a first-come basis, the city offers a 3-yard container at a '$10 Landfill Fee' or a 15-yard roll-off at a '$37 per ton Landfill Fee', booked by online form and delivered on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday. The introductory paragraph says 'Roll-off containers only can haul things like tree stumps, sheet rock, furniture and mattresses'. Further down the same tab, after the 15-yard roll-off terms, the city prints '***No Furniture, No Mattresses*** (YOU WILL BE ASKED TO REMOVE BEFORE SERVICING)'. The Chubbuck page does not reconcile the two statements. Source Not confirmed: Whether a mattress may go in the once-a-year 15-yard roll-off cannot be established: the same tab both says roll-offs can haul mattresses and says none is allowed Not confirmed: The page states only the landfill fee for the program; whether the container itself and its haul are free is not stated Not confirmed: The city has not published which sentence is current
• Chubbuck, Idaho's free Clean-up Day gives a household waste dump but names no mattress line either way. The city says 'Clean-up Day is held in conjunction with Bannock County Landfill's free dump day', with containers at Capell Park (5290 Diamon Circle) 'for residents to dispose of their yard and household waste instead of driving to the landfill'. The 2026 dates it lists are May 16, 2026 (7 a.m. to noon) and October 17, 2026 (8 a.m. to 1 p.m.). Items that will not be accepted are listed as 'tires, paint, oil, chemicals, food, kitchen garbage, refrigerators, air conditioners and freezers'. Mattresses are on neither that list nor any list of accepted items. Source Not confirmed: Mattresses are absent from the not-accepted list but not named as accepted; an absence from that list is not permission Not confirmed: The city does not say whether the event is limited to Chubbuck residents Not confirmed: The October 17, 2026 event had not yet taken place when this was checked

• The Almo roll-off station is a real, separate district facility and the "Oakley Transfer Station Accepts" heading printed above its accepted-items list is a mislabelled panel, not a sign that the Almo card belongs to Oakley. The district's own FY-27 customer pricing enumerates the Cassia County sites by name as "Albion Oakley Malta Almo", giving each one its own rate table, and Almo's table is not a copy of Oakley's: where Albion, Oakley and Malta each show "Mixed Municipal Solid Waste No Charge" in county and a "Wood Waste No Charge" row, Almo's table shows "Mixed Municipal Solid Waste $12.00/CY" in county and carries no wood waste row at all. That matches the accepted list under the Almo card on the locations page, which lists municipal solid waste, mixed construction, demolition waste, freon-containing white goods, tires, scrap metal and batteries and omits the "Clean green wood waste" that the Oakley card's list includes - the two lists differ in exactly the way the two price tables differ. The Almo card also carries its own address, 2480 Almo/Elba Rd, its own telephone number, 208-638-5565, and hours of Thursday through Saturday 8:30am-5:30pm, all distinct from the Oakley card at 985 S Worthington with 208-539-0342. The panel headings are demonstrably unreliable on this page: the Albion and Oakley cards are both labeled "ROLL-OFF STATION" while their headings read "Albion Transfer Station" and "Oakley Transfer Station". So the identity is right and the heading is wrong, and the list under the Almo card is Almo's list. Source
• What the district actually lists, in full, is fourteen facilities: one landfill, nine transfer stations and four roll-off stations. Milner Butte Landfill, 1050 W 400 S Burley, 208-432-9082, Mon-Sat 8:00am-4:30pm.

Four roll-off stations: Oakley, 985 S Worthington Oakley, 208-539-0342; Albion, 760 S Highway 77 Albion, 208-673-6610; Malta, 2450 E 1760 S Malta, 208-645-2675; Almo, 2480 Almo/Elba Rd Almo, 208-638-5565. The FY-27 pricing schedule enumerates the same thirteen non-landfill sites independently, grouped by county - Twin Falls County: Twin Falls, Hub Butte, Buhl; Jerome; Blaine: Ohio Gulch, Carey; Minidoka; Gooding; Lincoln; Cassia: Albion, Oakley, Malta, Almo - plus Milner Butte. The whole site is thirty-six pages and holds no per-facility pages, so these two lists are the district's only enumerations and they agree exactly. Source

• Every rate published by the Southern Idaho Solid Waste District - which is the disposal authority for Blaine, Cassia, Gooding, Jerome, Lincoln, Minidoka and Twin Falls counties - comes from its FY-27 customer pricing schedule, and that schedule takes effect on October 1, 2026. It is the only schedule the district publishes: the preceding year's rates are not on its site, so there is no earlier figure to quote and no way to compare the two. A reader who checks a district price before October 1, 2026 is reading the incoming rate rather than the one in force that day, and should expect the published figure to be what they are charged from that date onward. The rates themselves are recorded against each county's own facilities. Source
