How to get rid of a mattress in Weiser, 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.

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

• The City of Weiser, Idaho (Washington County) runs its own garbage collection with its own crew and trucks. The City's Garbage Collection page says "We provide 5 days a week pick up. We have 1 Full time employee, and we pick up once a week for residential customers", that "The City of Weiser still provides the garbage containers for our customers", with "a small (90 gallon) roll out can" for homes without alley access and shared 300-gallon containers where there is an alley, and "All material to be picked up must be inside of the can", with "a minimum of 15' clear area on both sides of the can". The number for questions is 208-414-1965. The page does not mention bulky items, mattresses, a fee, or a booking route. Source Not confirmed: No bulky-item, large-item or mattress collection is described on the City page, so none is recorded; whether the City crew takes a mattress on request was not established (no contact). Not confirmed: The City's garbage rate was not found on the page, so no price for anything is recorded. Not confirmed: Washington County's Weiser transfer site ($5 per mattress or box spring) is already recorded and is not repeated here.
• Weiser City Code Title 7, Chapter 2 "Refuse Collection Service Regulations" (the "Municipal Refuse Collection Service Ordinance"), read on American Legal, sets the rules. Collection, 7-2-4: "All garbage, refuse and rubbish from the entire residential, commercial and industrial sections properly placed for collection as provided for in this chapter shall be collected by the city". Compulsory, 7-2-5: "No person shall be permitted to refuse to accept the refuse collection and disposal service herein provided for". Refusal, 7-2-9(A): it is unlawful to put "broken concrete, rocks, plaster, discarded building material, trees and large tree limbs, dead animals and industrial waste" in the containers; a mattress is not named in the list. Dumping, 7-2-9(B): "No person shall place any garbage, rubbish, refuse ... in any street, alley or other public place or upon any private property, whether owned by such person or not, within the city except in the proper containers for collection", with failure to remove an accumulation "within twenty four (24) hours after notice from any authorized city official shall be deemed a violation"; and 7-2-9(C) bars depositing refuse where the wind can carry it "except as the city may expressly authorize from time to time for spring and fall cleanup", with places and times designated "by resolution". Penalty, 7-2-12: "Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. Each day such violation is committed or permitted to continue constitutes a separate offense." Fees, 7-2-13: "Fees for sanitary service and regulations for sanitary service shall be established and adopted by resolution of the Weiser city council." The roll-out charge in 7-2-7 is "four dollars ($4.00) per month". Source Not confirmed: The spring and fall cleanup the code mentions is set by resolution; no resolution, date, site, or mattress rule was found. Not confirmed: The code sets no clock time or day for putting a can out (the building inspector publishes the rules, 7-2-6, and none were found). Not confirmed: The $4.00 roll-out figure is from a 1979 ordinance and was not confirmed as current. Not confirmed: Bulky items, mattresses, wrapping, and apartment or HOA rules are not addressed.
• Weiser City Code 7-2-2 and 7-2-3 set who collects and define the terms: "All garbage and refuse accumulated in the city shall be collected, conveyed and disposed of by the city or its duly authorized contractor." "RUBBISH" means "Nonputrescible solid waste consisting of both combustible and noncombustible waste, such as paper, cardboard, tin cans, yard clippage, wood, glass, bedding, crockery and similar materials", and "SANITARY CONTAINERS" are "Ninety (90) gallon or three hundred (300) gallon plastic containers as shall be provided by the city". "Bedding" is listed among the trash the city collects, but a mattress is not named. Source Not confirmed: The code does not say whether a mattress counts as "bedding", and it gives no bulky-item rule, so a mattress is neither accepted nor refused.

• 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

• Idaho DEQ says it does not directly regulate recycling facilities and links a 'Contact County Solid Waste Departments' document for local options. No mattress content. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on Idaho DEQ pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. 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
