2City curbside pickup in Leonardtown
Leonardtown’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.
Town of Leonardtown quarterly bulk trash pick-up (request a week ahead; next November 12–13, 2026)
Town refuse customers. Town Code § 82-1: "All residential units within the corporate boundaries of Leonardtown shall avail themselves of the Leonardtown municipal refuse collection service", billed by a quarterly refuse collection fee set by the Mayor and Council, with rental dwellings billed by rentable unit.
Conditions and source
"Going forward, all quarterly bulk trash pick-ups must be scheduled in advance ... Requests must be submitted by email, by a request form, or by phone at least one week prior to the scheduled pick up date. Your bulk pick-up is collected the same day of the week as your normal trash pick up." The 2026 form gives the remaining dates as "August 13th & 14th (Submit Request by August 6th)" and "November 12th & 13th (Submit Request by November 5th)", with the standing rule "Submit Request No Later than 1 Week Prior to Pickup". Requests go to jackie.post@leonardtownmd.gov, by mail to Commissioners of Leonardtown, C/o Jackie Post, PO Box 1, Leonardtown MD 20650, in person at 22670 Washington Street, or by telephone at 301-475-9791. What counts: "*Bulk Trash includes items such as bicycles, sofas, tables, chairs, etc. For gas powered items, the gas and oil must be removed ... White Goods, which include stoves, dishwashers or refrigerators. Refrigerators must have the Freon removed and must be tagged by a certified technician. No construction debris (concrete, bricks, sheetrock, shingles, metal pipes). Paint cans and asbestos containing materials are considered hazardous materials and will not be picked up." Ordinary collection is Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Friday by street, with recycling on Wednesday, and holidays slide the rest of the week forward a day.
Not confirmed: The form names bicycles, sofas, tables and chairs but neither includes nor excludes mattresses, so whether a mattress is collected is unestablished.
Not confirmed: No fee is named and the form does not state the service is free, so no price is recorded.
Not confirmed: The form's footnote names 'Waste Management' while the Town's trash page names Affordable Refuse and Recycling, Inc.; which company runs the bulk round is unestablished.

Cheapest
St. Andrews Landfill resident self-haul disposal (permit sticker required)
"residents of St. Mary's County must obtain a Residential Disposal Permit Sticker to use the St. Andrews Landfill and any of the six Convenience Stations. Vehicles without a Permit Sticker will not be allowed to dispose of waste at the St. Andrews Landfill or Convenience Center Facilities." The sticker is free, and is obtained with the vehicle registration and "proof of residency either in the form of a valid driver's license, lease-rental agreement, tax bill, or military service identification". Residents using the convenience centers for recycling only need no sticker. Eligibility is county residency with no unincorporated-area limit, so a Leonardtown resident qualifies. Commercial haulers are not allowed at the St. Andrews Landfill for solid waste.
Conditions and source
44837 St. Andrews Church Road, California, Maryland. "Residents self-hauling solid waste, rubble or yard waste to the St. Andrews Landfill Facility will be assessed at $10.00 per standard pickup truck load (approximately ¼ ton). Effective July 1, 2006, loads in excess of this amount will be weighed and assessed at a rate of $95 per ton." Oversized yard-waste loads are discounted to $50 per ton. Up to five passenger car or light truck tires are free, beyond which tires are $190 per ton. "Residents may also drop off 'white goods' (refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, stoves, hot water heaters and air conditioners) for free." Mattresses are not named in the fee list or among the free categories, so a mattress falls under the $10 standard pickup load. Every improved residential property in the county also pays a separate $60 per dwelling unit annual Environmental and Solid Waste Service Fee on its property tax bill.
Not confirmed: No mattress or bulky-item fee is published, so a mattress is priced only through the $10.00 standard load or the $95 per ton weighed rate.
Not confirmed: Whether the six convenience centers accept a mattress, or whether furniture must go to the landfill as in neighboring Calvert and Caroline, is not stated on any St. Mary's page reviewed.
Not confirmed: Operating hours for the landfill are not published on the county's facility locations page.

What St. Mary's County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Leonardtown and its neighbors.
- St. Mary's County runs no collection at all, and says so on the page a reader searching for one would land on. The county's Special Bulk Pickup page states that "St. Mary's County Government does not provide residential curbside trash / recyclable collection services" and does not provide special bulk pick-up services "because it is cost prohibitive." Residents are directed instead to the six convenience centers and the St. Andrews landfill, told that for curbside service "we suggest you contact one of the local private sector service providers", and pointed at community programs such as the Clean Community Programs and Adopt-A-County-Road. Questions go to the Solid Waste Manager at (301) 863-8400 ext. 3550. This is a clean negative answer rather than a gap: there is no county bulky-item collection in St. Mary's County for Leonardtown or any other town to inherit, and self-haul under the sticker program is the county's whole offer. Source Not confirmed: The page names no private hauler and publishes no rate guidance, so what collection of a mattress costs in St. Mary's County is not established. Not confirmed: No county-wide free dump day, voucher or amnesty event was found on the county's solid-waste pages.
Maryland mattress disposal rules
- No Maryland mattress stewardship program in effect. HB0984 (2026RS, Mattress Stewardship Program - Establishment; prior HB0858 of 2025) would require a producer plan to MDE by July 1, 2031 and ban landfill/incinerator disposal from Jan 1, 2035; legislative page shows last status as House committee hearing (2/27), with no enactment. Source
- MDE Producer Responsibility page lists electronics, architectural paint, and packaging programs only; no mattress program. No statewide mattress landfill ban found on MDE pages as of 2026-09-22. Source
- MDE Recycling page says each county and city runs its own recycling program and tells residents to check their county's recycling website or call the county. Source
