Nearest
Jefferson Township Transfer Station mattress and box spring drop-off
No residency rule is published for this station by the township, by the City of Hillsdale or by Lenawee County. The City of Hillsdale lists it as one of four places its own residents could take trash while the city's transfer station was closed, and tells residents to call ahead to verify hours and volume limits. Lenawee County, the next county east, lists it for its own residents' bulk items under the standing warning "Contact the site prior to visiting for up-to-date services and pricing." Both governments print the telephone number 517-523-3019.
Conditions and source
Hours are Monday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., as published by the City of Hillsdale. The accepted-items list Lenawee County prints for this address reads "Tractor/farm, auto, semi tires", "Mattresses, box springs", "Construction/demolition materials", "Televisions/e-Waste", "9-volt, D, C, AAA, AA batteries", "Bulk items (couch, chair, love-seat)" and then a set of recyclables - "#1 & #2 plastics, all metals, paper/newspaper/books, used oil, anti-freeze, foam cups/packaging (no peanuts), clean-clear food containers, appliances". No price is printed for any of it. Lenawee County adds that "Items accepted may vary by site and you are encouraged to call before visiting."
Not confirmed: No price is published for a mattress or a box spring at this station by the township, by the City of Hillsdale or by Lenawee County, so the cost of a trip is not established. An unpublished fee is not a free one.
Not confirmed: No residency rule is published, so whether the station is open to anyone who drives in is unknown.
Not confirmed: Neither source says whether a mattress taken here is recycled or landfilled.
Not confirmed: The City of Hillsdale's page carries no date, and the accepted-items list comes from a neighboring county's undated FAQ, so both may have moved. Both governments tell residents to call the station first.
Not confirmed: The township publishes nothing of its own that was read here; everything recorded comes from two other governments' pages about it.

What Branch County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Coldwater and its neighbors.
- Branch County, MICHIGAN names no landfill, transfer station or convenience center anywhere on its own website, and operates none. Its department list is long and specific - Airport, Animal Shelter, Board of Commissioners, Building and Grounds, Building Department, Commission on Aging, County Clerk, Drain Commissioner, Emergency Management, Equalization, Human Resources, Health Department, Information Technology, Parks & Recreation, Planning Commission, Prosecuting Attorney, Public Defender, Public Works, Register of Deeds, Road Commission, Treasurer's Office and Veterans Affairs - and the only entry that sounds as though it could cover refuse is Public Works, which the county pairs on its own home page with a "Water Bill" payment link rather than with trash. The words recycling, landfill, transfer station and hazardous waste appear nowhere in the county's navigation. For a reader in Coldwater that is the finding, and it is worth stating plainly: there is no county site to drive to, no county accepted-items list to check and no county fee to look up. Where a mattress goes in Branch County is settled by a hauler, a township or the city, not by the county. Source Not confirmed: The county's Department of Public Works page itself was not read, so the possibility that it runs a waste function the home page does not advertise is not ruled out. Not confirmed: The county publishes no mattress fee because it publishes no facility. An unpublished fee is not a free one. Not confirmed: Whether the City of Coldwater operates a drop-off or a bulky pickup, and on what terms, was not researched here and is left to the city pass. Not confirmed: Privately run waste sites exist in and near the county, but no primary operator page was read for any of them, so nothing is established about what they accept or charge.
- Branch County, MICHIGAN publishes no county collection of bulky items or mattresses, no voucher and no county-wide clean-up day. Nothing in its department navigation offers a household anything to book: there is no solid waste or recycling office, and the single department whose name could cover refuse, Public Works, is presented on the county's home page beside a water bill payment link. Trash in this county is arranged below the county - by a township with a hauler contract, by a village, or by the household buying its own service - which is the ordinary Michigan shape and the reason a Coldwater reader finds the county's own pages silent on the subject. Whatever the City of Coldwater runs belongs on the city's page and is left to the city pass. Source Not confirmed: This is an absence from the county's own navigation rather than a published statement that the county collects nothing. Not confirmed: Whether Coldwater or any Branch County township schedules an all-trash or bulky pickup was not researched here.

- 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.
