2Drop-off options near Midland
Places that accept mattresses if you can get it there yourself. Distance is measured from the center of Midland. Some accept residents of their own city or county only, so check before you drive.
Cheapest
Bay City Recycles Drop-Off Center, by appointment ("Mattresses $15.00", "Box Spring $10.00")
This is the site Bay County's own recycling page names under the heading "Box Spring and Mattress Disposal", for the whole county, giving the address and 989-894-8312 and adding "Visit their website to see what fees may apply for drop-off items." The operator is the City of Bay City. Its rate sheet is headed "For City resident rates: Proof of residency is required at time of entry", and the city's Drop-Off Services page says "Bring identification as proof of residency." Several categories on the sheet carry a separate, higher "Non-City Residents" figure - building materials, shingles, vinyl siding, concrete, asphalt, household batteries, paint and yard waste - so non-city residents are plainly served; the Furniture block, which is where mattresses sit, prints only one set of figures and no non-city line, so what a resident of another Bay County town pays for a mattress is not published.
Conditions and source
Appointment only: "Drop-Off Services are offered by appointment only. To schedule an appointment, use the \"Drop-Off\" tab in the ReDirectory below or give us a call!" Appointments are booked through the Bay City Recycles ReDirectory or by phone at 989-894-8312. The site is at 2900 N Water Street. "Please bring exact change." "Bring identification as proof of residency." "For safety reasons concerning our staff, you must be able to unload your items as no assistance will be provided." The published Furniture rates are "Box Spring $10.00", "Mattresses $15.00", "Couch (per section) $15.00" and "Reclining Chair $10.00"; General Refuse on the same sheet runs from "Small Bag (13 gallons or less) $2.00" to "Pickup Truck/SUV $40.00", and "White Goods & Appliances (stoves, water heaters, dishwashers, washers, dryers, etc.)" are $20.00.
- $10 — City of Bay City published rate sheet, Furniture block: "Box Spring $10.00", charged per item alongside the $15.00 mattress rate, so a mattress and its box spring come to $25.00 together. The same residency caveat applies.
- $15 — City of Bay City published rate sheet, Furniture block: "Mattresses $15.00". Charged per item, by appointment, exact change, with identification as proof of residency. The block sits under the sheet's heading "For City resident rates: Proof of residency is required at time of entry" and prints no separate Non-City Residents figure, so whether the same $15.00 applies to a resident of another Bay County town is not published.
Not confirmed: The Furniture block prints a single set of prices under a heading about city resident rates and shows no Non-City Residents line, so whether a resident of another Bay County town pays $15.00 for a mattress is not established.
Not confirmed: No limit on the number of mattresses per appointment is published.
Not confirmed: The rate sheet carries no date of its own.
Not confirmed: Neither the county nor the city says whether a mattress dropped here is recycled or landfilled.
Not confirmed: No walk-in hours are published; the center takes appointments only.

What Midland County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Midland and its neighbors.
- Midland County, MICHIGAN owns and operates no landfill, transfer station or citizen drop-off site. Its own Departments & Officials directory runs from 9-1-1 and Animal Control through Mosquito Control, Pinecrest Farms, Road Commission and Spongy Moth, and carries no solid waste, recycling or waste management department. The county's only landfill is a city facility: the City of Midland Sanitary Landfill, 4311 E Ashman Street, Midland, MI 48642, 989-837-6988, lfgatehouse@midland-mi.org. That landfill is nevertheless county-wide in who it serves and county-closed in what it takes. The city's own landfill page states that "waste generated in Midland County is accepted at the Landfill", and that the free self-haul allowance is a Midland County household program "arranged between the City of Midland and the townships", adding "Business are not eligible for this program." Midland County households may bring up to 3 cubic yards of household debris once per month at no charge; larger loads, extra trips and non-household waste are charged. Added fees apply to tires, appliances containing refrigerant and sharps containers. Published hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with Saturdays 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on listed dates only and all other Saturdays closed. Nothing on the landfill page names a mattress, a box spring or bedding, in either the accepted or the excluded direction. This is Midland, Michigan on cityofmidlandmi.gov and midlandcountymi.gov - not Midland, Texas. Source Not confirmed: Neither the landfill page nor the adopted fee ordinance names a mattress, a box spring or bedding, so whether the landfill accepts one, and at what price, is not established. Not confirmed: The landfill page does not state what proof of Midland County residency is asked for at the gatehouse. Not confirmed: Whether anything brought to the landfill is recycled rather than buried is not stated.
- The adopted fee schedule behind the City of Midland Sanitary Landfill is Ordinance No. 1885, amending Section 21-34 of the City of Midland code, introduced May 8, 2023, adopted May 22, 2023 and effective July 1, 2023. It prices the gate by the cubic yard and by the item, and it prices no mattress. The ordinance requires that "all vehicles seeking to discharge refuse at the city's sanitary landfill shall present the proper identification to the landfill gatehouse attendant indicating that the refuse was generated within Midland County". The schedule reads in part: "Refuse (except tires) - Self-haul from personal residence. Residential only. No Charge", with the note that "Midland County residents hauling from their personal residence get one load per month per address of three cubic yards or less of household rubbish, demolition debris (excludes renters), tires if cut in half, and yard waste may be disposed at no charge"; "Midland County residence self-haul material after first monthly visit and/or above three cubic yards $12.00 per cubic yard"; "Construction and Demolition material $14.00 per cubic yard"; "Compacted waste - residential/commercial $10.50 per cubic yard"; "Freon Appliances $15.00 per each"; "Scrap metal - excludes Freon appliances $3.00 per cubic yard". The ordinance adds "No minimum fee for self-haul Midland County residents" and that "The disposal fees above shall be doubled for refuse collected outside Midland County". Construction and demolition material is defined to include "carpet/pad, furniture and other materials designated by the director of public services". The only special-handling line for bulky items covers an "RV trailer, boat, or mobile home". No line in the schedule names a mattress, a box spring or bedding. Source Not confirmed: The ordinance prices furniture only inside the construction and demolition definition and never names a mattress or box spring, so no per-mattress price is established for this landfill. Not confirmed: Whether a mattress would be billed within the free three cubic yards of "household rubbish", or as demolition material at $14.00 per cubic yard, is not published.
- Midland County, MICHIGAN runs no trash collection, no bulky-item collection and no mattress collection of any kind. The county's published Departments & Officials directory lists 34 departments - 9-1-1, Administrator/Controller, Animal Control, Board of Commissioners, Boards and Commissions, Central Dispatch/911, Community Corrections, County Clerk, County Connection transit, Drain Commissioner, Economic Development, Emergency Management, Equalization, Facilities, Fairgrounds, Finance, Health Department, House Numbering, Human Resources, IT/GIS, Jail, Juvenile Care Center, Mental Health, Mosquito Control, MSU Extension, Parks and Recreation, Pinecrest Farms, Public Guardian, Register of Deeds, Road Commission, Senior Services, Sheriff, Spongy Moth, Treasurer and Veterans Services - and not one of them is a solid waste, recycling or waste management office. Curbside service in Midland County is a city, township or private hauler matter; the county's single involvement in household waste is the agreement under which its townships send residents to the City of Midland's landfill. The county is also one of the eight counties in the Heartland Materials Management Plan region, a planning process rather than a service. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes no page on household trash at all, so there is no county statement about who a resident should call for a bulky pickup. Not confirmed: The City of Midland's own collection rules were not researched here; they belong to the city pass.
