How to get rid of a mattress in Eagle, 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.

• Eagle, Idaho (Ada County) has its trash collected by Hardin Sanitation, not by a city crew. The City of Eagle's Recycling & Trash Services page says "Contact Hardin Sanitation: www.hardinsanitation.com/cityofeagle" with phone "(208) 642-2629", and says of large items: "Bulky Waste & Appliances. Hardin Sanitation provides appliance, furniture, and other large item collection for an additional fee. Bulky items must be outside and visible to the driver on trash day. To arrange for a special pick-up call (208) 642-2629." It sets the curb rule as "Trash and recycling must be on the curb by 7 a.m. with the lids closed" and "You must remove all containers from the curbside within 24 hours", and adds a free quarterly household hazardous waste unit at the Ballantyne Park and Ride (1890 W. State St., second Wednesday of January, April, July and October, noon to 7:00pm). The page does not name a mattress, box spring or a recycler. Source Not confirmed: The fee for a large-item pickup is not published on the City's page, so no price is recorded. Not confirmed: A mattress is not named ("appliance, furniture, and other large item"); whether a mattress or box spring counts as furniture is not stated, so no mattress service is recorded. Not confirmed: No disposal or recycling outcome is stated.
• Not an option: The free spring clean-up in Eagle refuses a mattress by its own size limit. Hardin Sanitation's City of Eagle page describes "Residential Curbside Spring clean-up", "April 6 thru April 10, 2026", "Collected same day as your scheduled trash pick up", and limits it to "Extra bags less than 35 lbs, Bulky items under 60 lbs measuring less than 4'", branches bundled "less then 4'", and "NO FREON ITEMS". A twin mattress is about 75 inches (6 feet 3 inches), a queen or king about 80 inches, so a mattress cannot meet a four-foot limit, and a box spring is the same length. The page does not name a mattress in this list; the exclusion is the arithmetic of the stated limit. The same page says of ordinary large items: "Hardin Sanitation provides appliance, furniture, and other large item collection for an additional fee. Bulky item collection must be re-arranged by contacting our office to schedule pick-up. Item must be curbside and visible to the driver.", says carts go out by "6:00 a.m.", and names "Tires" and "White goods containing CFC's (appliances)" as unacceptable in the cart. Source Not confirmed: The page does not name a mattress as accepted or refused at the clean-up; the refusal follows from the four-foot limit, and no one was contacted to confirm it. Not confirmed: The 2026 dates have passed; later years' dates and terms were not published. Not confirmed: Hardin publishes no price for the booked large-item pickup that is the rest-of-year route.
• Hardin Sanitation's "2025 Residential Trash & Recycling Services" rate sheet for the City of Eagle (includes cart rental and 6% sales tax) lists "32 gallon Trash + Recycle cart $19.32 Month", "65 gallon $20.41", "95 gallon $21.60", senior and veteran rates from $16.82, ADA carry-out from $23.84, "Additional cart(s) $2.56 Month" and "Yard Debris cart 65 gallon $9.16". Its footnote says "Please place cart(s) at the curb by 7:00 am or the night before service day" and carts "at least 3ft. from other carts and objects". There is no bulky-item, large-item or mattress line on the sheet. Source Not confirmed: No price for large-item pickup appears on the rate sheet, so it is not free and not priced. Not confirmed: The sheet says 7:00 am or the night before, while Hardin's Eagle web page says 6:00 a.m. and the City page says 7 a.m.; the three are not reconciled.
• Eagle City Code Title 4, Chapter 2 "Garbage and Rubbish", read on American Legal, sets the local rules. Franchise, 4-2-4(A): "No person shall engage in the business of collecting, gathering, hauling, conveying, or transporting garbage, rubbish, solid waste or recyclable materials upon the streets or alleys of the city without first obtaining a franchise therefor from the city", with a self-haul exception in 4-2-4(B)(1) for the owner or occupant of a residence. Compulsory use, 4-2-3(B): residents "shall pay for, and shall be provided solid waste and recyclable materials collection services by the franchisee". Franchisee fees, 4-2-6(C): "A franchisee shall only impose for such service those fees which are approved by the city council." Definitions, 4-2-2: "SOLID WASTE" includes "bulky waste", while "RUBBISH" is defined to "not include broken or discarded stoves or furniture, broken or discarded building material, trees or any waste accumulated, other than heretofore specified." Dumping, 4-2-8: "it shall be unlawful for any person to place any grass trimmings, garbage or rubbish upon any street, alley, sidewalk, public place or open lot in the city"; placement, 4-2-3(D): unlawful to place a receptacle upon a street, alley, sidewalk or public place except that, where premises are not adjacent to an alley, a resident "may place receptacles containing garbage or rubbish upon the sidewalk or street adjacent to such premises in such manner as not to interfere with the free use of such sidewalk or street for an unreasonable period of time." Section 4-2-9, "Violation and Penalty", is listed in the chapter but prints no text on the site. Source Not confirmed: Section 4-2-9 (Violation and Penalty) shows a heading and no body text on American Legal, so a solid-waste-specific penalty is not established. Not confirmed: The code sets no clock time for the curb; the times come from the City and Hardin pages and disagree (7 a.m. against 6:00 a.m.). Not confirmed: No code section prices a large-item pickup; 4-2-6(C) requires Council approval of any fee, and no approved bulky-item fee was found. Not confirmed: The code says nothing about mattresses, wrapping, or apartment and HOA restrictions (8-3-2D is referenced for commercial, industrial and multi-family areas and was not read).
• Eagle City Code 1-4-1 "General Penalty" (American Legal) is the penalty that reaches a solid-waste violation where a chapter states none. (A) Misdemeanor: "Any person convicted of a violation of any section or provision of this code ... shall be subject to fine and/or imprisonment up to but not exceeding the maximum penalties set forth in sections 18-113 and 50-302, Idaho Code", plus costs. (B) Infraction, where an offense "is specifically designated as an infraction, and where no other penalty is set forth therein": "For a first offense the infraction penalty shall be fifty dollars ($50.00). For a second offense within a one (1) year period from the date of conviction, the penalty shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00)", and a third offense within a year is a misdemeanor. Source Not confirmed: Chapter 4-2 does not designate its offenses as infractions or misdemeanors in any text read (4-2-9 is blank), so which tier applies to leaving a mattress at the curb is not established.

• 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. Nine transfer stations: Twin Falls, 2186 Orchard Dr E Twin Falls, 208-734-3139, Mon-Sat 7:30am-5:00pm; Jerome County, 1178 Highway 25 Jerome, 208-825-4150, Mon-Sat 8:00am-5:30pm; Ohio Gulch, 110 Ohio Gulch Rd Hailey, 208-788-2351, Mon-Sat 8:00am-5:00pm; Minidoka County, 325 N 400 W Rupert, 208-438-5593, Mon-Sat 7:30am-5:00pm; Gooding County, 2743 Highway 46 Wendell, 208-536-2181, Mon-Sat 8:00am-5:30pm; Lincoln County, 120 N Highway 75 Shoshone, 208-731-8510, Mon-Sat 9:30am-5:30pm; West End, 4200 N 900 E Buhl, 208-543-4054, Mon-Sat 9:00am-5:00pm; Carey, 19299 US-20 Carey, 208-823-4308, Wed-Sat 8:00am-5:00pm; Hub Butte, 2900 N 2800 E Twin Falls, 208-734-5271, Mon-Fri 9:00am-5:00pm. 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
