What Shreveport itself says
What we established about this city in particular — including where it runs nothing of its own and residents have to look elsewhere.
- The Shreveport-Bossier Rescue Mission says its Mission Thrift Store provides clothing, mattresses and household goods to families at a reduced price, and its donation center at 901 McNeil Street takes donations Tuesdays and Thursdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with drop-off self-serve because guests and staff cannot assist in carrying donations in; the phone number is 318-629-3300. Alternative drop-off points are listed at Riverpark Church, 3232 E. 70th Street; Shreveport Community Church, 5720 Buncombe Rd.; and Life United Church, 4425 Meriwether Rd. However the page also states that the Mission Thrift Store is 'temporarily closed. A reopening date has not yet been determined', and that pickup service for large donations has been temporarily suspended, with donors asked to call 318-621-9613 for non-time-sensitive items. Source Not confirmed: The store is temporarily closed with no reopening date, so whether mattress donations are currently being taken is unresolved. Not confirmed: The accepted-items sentence for the donation center names clothing, accessories, books and linens; mattresses appear only in the description of what the store supplies to families. Not confirmed: No condition standard for a donated mattress is published.

- LDEQ Recycling Resources page lists parish and municipal recycling programs and statewide recycling organizations. No statewide mattress stewardship program or landfill ban found on LDEQ pages as of 2026-09-22; mattress disposal is handled by local governments. 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.
